IBM's VM software allows the customer to create up to thousands of virtual computers which all run on top of a given mainframe. Within each VM system, customers can install Turbolinux and one or more applications. Leveraging their mainframe investment or adding a mainframe to their platform mix, ISPs can more quickly, easily and affordably add application services to their offerings to become ASPs.
Current ASPs can realize cost savings by consolidating applications on a mainframe.
Pricing on our mainframe software and services depends upon customer requirements and system configurations. Turbolinux also works with IBM Global Services to meet customer needs.
