IBM firmly believes in and has long championed the power of open standards, and our commitment to openness is fundamental in everything we do. Open standards enhance flexibility and increase possibilities while helping to protect your current technology investments. By building on this philosophy, our goal is to offer a choice of systems employing technology innovation that can fit within any IT environment — from integrated systems to components that integrate more easily into an existing structure.
Hardware
IBM servers and storage are designed with two things in mind: taking advantage of today's technology and staying open to tomorrow's.
Operating Systems and Middleware
IBM has Linux-enabled its entire server line and is a key contributor to open software projects such as Apache, Eclipse and the Globus Alliance.
