In another sign the mainframe computer is coming back to life, IBM plans to announce on Wednesday that a customer is using its zSeries machines and Linux for a major consolidation of business applications.

Endress+Hauser, which makes measuring devices for industrial process engineering, is migrating its 19 SAP applications into one primary data center in Germany using two z990 mainframes, according to IBM. With a total of 36 processors running the Linux operating system, the setup is one of Europe's largest installations of Linux on the mainframe, IBM said.
