Cognos taps Novell SUSE Linux for mainframe debut
From the article:
IBM’s Corp.’s Cognos segment has chosen Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise to debut its Cognos 8 business intelligence software on the mainframe.
Cognos, which IBM bought for $4.9 billion last November, bypassed three IBM operating systems (z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE) and instead chose IBM System z for Linux and Novell’s SUSE for its entrée into the mainframe market. An IBM mainframe version for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is also in the works.
“System z represents 20% to 30% of software applications on the mainframe, and its lead is growing,” said Jennifer Hanniman, a senior product marketing manager for Cognos 8. “And 20% of the growth in demand for System z is for Linux [rather than IBM’s other mainframe operating systems].”
