Linux - Open Source White Papers

Linux Application Development Ready for Prime Time

Overview Linux initially developed a reputation as a high-performance deployment environment, but IDC is now seeing an increasing amount of application development occur on Linux. The reason for this growth is threefold. First, the availability of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that run on Linux has reached critical mass. Second, development on Linux is considerably easier and safer than development on other operating environments when the deployment environment is Linux. Third, Linux provides a secure, reliable, and flexible platform for software development. IBM has complemented this platform with an array of other services and tools to facilitate the migration of existing software from x86 platforms to IBM's POWER and zSeries systems.
