| IBM deal will increase Linux software for Power |
|---|
IBM announced a partnership on Tuesday to significantly expand the software available for customers running Linux on servers using Big Blue's Power processors.
The deal is with a start-up called Transitive, whose QuickTransit software translates software created for one computer so it can run on another. In this case, Linux software for mainstream servers using x86 processors such as Intel's Xeon and AMD's Opteron will run on IBM's Power-based servers, the companies said at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco.
