Linux Integration Zone

   

Linux Integration Zone (LIZ) promotes the adoption of Linux by business partners, customers and developers by providing them with a platform for proofs of concepts to rapidly build, test and deploy a wide variety of Linux-based solutions, including solutions for finance, retail, e-commerce, telecommunications, distribution and manufacturing. Through LIZ, IBM provides training for the enablement of IBM Linux-based middleware, products and solutions as well as Linux technical support and integration services. The facility, located at IBM's regional headquarters at Changi Business Park, helps users quickly deliver solutions on an open platform that is integrated, pre-configured and tested for maximum results.

The Linux Integration Zone is an exciting place where you will find all of the latest articles, features, reports and news from the world of Linux at IBM.
