| IBM, Red Hat Put Squeeze On Sun |
|---|
IBM and Red Hat Inc. on Tuesday launched a service aimed at enticing customers to migrate from Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Solaris operating system over to Linux, a move meant to up the pressure on Sun.
The service, which will be offered through the IBM Systems and Technology Group, includes a pre-sales assessment that will take a look at a customer's installation and recommend the most appropriate migration strategy at no charge. "Based on our experience, the number-one issue is that customers don't know just how easy a Unix-to-Linux migration is, which is why we are offering to cover the cost of the initial assessment for qualified customers," Scott Handy, vice president of worldwide Linux for IBM, said in a statement.
