The New York-based firm says its Platform Solution Provider, which has already successfully targeted the zSeries market, has now been extended out to IBM’s iSeries, BladeCenter and pSeries systems running on Linux.
In parallel with the launch of the program, Information Builders has also added new reseller partners which provide complementary systems support and service.
The number of BI systems being run on iSeries and Linux is growing according to Information Builders CEO Gerry Cohen.
Server consolidation savings, reduced management costs and attractive hardware and software pricing give Linux a TCO advantage, he said. We’ve made WebFocus the only BI product to natively support Linux on all IBM server platforms – iSeries, pSeries, xSeries, the mainframe, and BladeCenter.
