Operating System #6 for the IBM Mainframe: Solaris

2007-08-16 Thread Timothy Sipples
If you haven't read the news yet, IBM and Sun announced a new
collaboration.  From press accounts it would appear the two companies' next
action is to bring Solaris to the IBM mainframe.

There are some more details on the Mainframe Blog here:

Hi
That is a very good news as I know Solaris to some extent. But it will 
take very long time until the Solaris and its complementary components 
(N1 Grid) become available on System Z. maybe more than 2 years? :-)


Thanks

Hi
It is a good news, Is there any prediction or announcement about a 
release date?

6 months, 1 year or something like this?

Thanks
