international Open Source technology leader and solutions provider,

will be available by the beginning of May.

With the 64-bit SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 for IBM eServer zSeries, SuSE

high performing, IBM mainframes are the ideal solution for running
mission-critical applications such as the administration of complex

hardware as the perfect medium for consolidated server services on IBM
mainframes, e.g. for Intranet and Internet services.

7 for S/390 and zSeries. In order to fully retain the value of investments
in existing applications, the 31-bit shared libraries of SuSE Linux
Enterprise Server 7 support the parallel operation of 31-bit and 64-bit
applications on the same machine within the same Linux instance.
