Linux
Linux is not just another operating system. Since its introduction in 1991, no other
operating system in history has grown in popularity as quickly and across as wide
a range of systems. The reason is flexibility.
Supported across all four IBM eServer brands, it allows companies to unify their
diverse operating environments without replacing current hardware. As an Open Source
operating system, similar to UNIX and based upon open standards, it can simplify
development and lower costs whilst providing new levels of flexibility and reliability.
As an IBM ‘Leader in Linux’ Syan has had to demonstrate
a high level of expertise in Linux technology and successfully deliver Linux solutions
to our customers. Our Linux team is accredited for both SuSE and
Redhat Linux. Syan has particular expertise in delivering Linux
server-based solutions.
