| New IBM Unit to Target Emerging Markets |
|---|
Targeting emerging markets where demand for its technologies is growing the fastest, IBM this month combined several initiatives, including Linux, grid computing and virtualization, to form a high-growth business group called Strategic Growth Initiatives.
"The opportunity here is that customers are asking for gridded Linux networks and virtualized servers that can run multiple operating systems," said Jim Stallings, general manager of the new group, in an interview. "The big news here is the customer thirst for this."
