| IBM moves Linux beat to Brazil |
|---|
IBM is taking its love of Linux to South America, introducing consulting services to promote the open-source operating system in Brazil.
IBM's Global Services division on Monday detailed the services it is offering corporations in Brazil that are interested in using Linux on desktop PCs, point-of-sale terminals and other devices. The strategy is part of IBM's larger push to sell Linux-based hardware and services to compete against Microsoft.
Open Client Desktop services will be sold to companies in the retail, financial and government industries. IBM earlier this year realigned its software and services organizations to sell to corporations along industry lines.
