Linux - Open Source White Papers

Linux Connectivity With IBM i5/OS

Overview IBM is committed to supporting the Linux operating system on the iSeries platform. There is the capability of installing Linux onto iSeries partitions, IXS and IXA thus reducing the capital expenditure of purchasing extra hardware. IBM has further enhanced its support of Linux by developing several methods by which the actual data and applications running on both Linux and IBM i5/OS can be integrated. One example is iSeries Access for Linux product which enables a Linux user to connect to an i5/OS with a 5250 session or ODBC enabled applications. The ability to connect Linux and i5/OS applications draws together the main strengths of both operating systems.
