IBM Launches AIX Collaboration Center At Texas
IBM has started the AIX Collaboration Center (ACC) in Austin, Texas, which it will use to collaborate with customers, developers, independent software vendors (ISVs) and academics to drive innovation around AIX technology, and to develop, test and adopt new applications and middleware for the AIX operating system. IBM has invested $200 million in the center over a two-year period.
The AIX Collaboration Center will emphasise on driving systems-level innovations around key technology areas like virtualization, security, performance and scalability, and will assist ISVs in advancing their applications on AIX by exploiting new pSeries hardware and software capabilities.
IBM said the AIX Collaboration Center would offer customers and partners new programs and tools as well as early access to new technologies to refine the capabilities and features of the AIX operating system prior to each release. They will also have access to technical experts and resources to help them organise current AIX and virtualization technologies.
The center will draw on the experience and expertise of IBM Research, Global Services, Software Group as well as multiple external resources to create a tight-knit community that will focus on driving innovation around the AIX operating system and related software technologies.
Adalio Sanchez, General Manager, IBM pSeries said, “We expect the AIX Collaboration Center to build on the current wave of momentum around AIX in the marketplace.” Sanchez added, “This announcement underscores IBM’s strategy to continue to lead the market and work with the community to create technologies based on the needs of customers and partners.”
Satya Sharma, an IBM Distinguished Engineer and the chief AIX architect for the company will manage the AIX Collaboration Center.
