"TRYING TO TAKE its computing on demand initiative a giant step forward, IBM on Monday rolled out an Internet-based service that allows Linux users to access the amount of processing power and other technical resources they need on a utility basis.
"The new on-demand service, called Linux Virtual Services, directly connects users' Linux-based server applications with IBM's hosting centers, which can supply them with managed server processing, storage, and networked capacity on an on-demand basis. "These "virtual servers" in IBM's hosting centers run on the company's zSeries of mainframes and require users to only pay for the capacity they need. The servers are administered by IBM's Global Services unit." http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/07/01/020701hnibm.xml Mark Post
