Ubuntu goes enterprise
Ubuntu is well known in user circles as the cool kids' Linux. It's available pre-installed on PCs and laptops from Dell and from numerous smaller computer vendors. What Ubuntu hasn't been known as is a Linux distribution that matters to CIOs and IT managers. Things are changing.
Canonical, Ubuntu's parent company, is finally taking serious action on its long-announced plans to become a serious enterprise Linux player. The Isle of Man-based Linux distributor isn't just targeting data center servers, although that's on its list.
First, Canonical, along with Red Hat and IBM, announced earlier this month at LinuxWorld that by 2009 they'll offer a pre-load software stack of IBM's OCCS (Open Collaboration Client Solution) to server and desktop OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). With this, enterprise customers can get Lotus Notes, Lotus Symphony and Lotus Sametime, as well as the distributor's Linux. The plan is for VARs (value added resellers) and system integrators to brand the complete package under their own names.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

Like Junior High School gossip, they figure if it's repeated enough, some people might actually believe it's true.
