Ubuntu Linux brings IBM DB2 to the cloud
Posted by Mike on Wednesday, July 21, 2010
PORTLAND, Ore. — Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has always had many user and developer fans. Enterprise business fans? Not so much. Canonical hopes to change that with today’s, July 21, launch of a virtual appliance of IBM’s DB2 Express-C software running on the Ubuntu cloud computing platform, in private and public cloud configurations. The company also announced that IBM has validated the full version of DB2 software on Ubuntu 10.04.
This is all part of Canonical’s plan to make Ubuntu just as much of an enterprise business player as Novell or Red Hat.
