IBM and Linux minus Informix

Posted By: Sean R. Durity

Below is excerpt from an e-mail I received from IBM:

THE ANALYSTS CONFIRM WHAT WE'VE KNOWN ALL ALONG:
LINUX IS READY FOR BUSINESS

---------------------------------------------------------------
Visit the IBM Linux resource center and register to download
"Linux is Ready" and "Linux is Ready: IBM's Strategy,"
extensive,
in-depth white papers on the state of the Linux market from
Bloor Research. Register today at:
http://isource.ibm.com/cgi-bin/goto?on=c5453linux
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Linux® is the fastest-growing software technology in history. As
with any new innovation, companies are left asking themselves a
single question: Is Linux ready to handle my business?

The experts have spoken, and the answer is yes.

We invite you to download and read "Linux is Ready" and
"Linux is Ready: IBM's Strategy," complimentary white papers
from Bloor Research.

As the Linux-Informix Moderator, I went to check this out. IBM has an
impressive array of information and offers regarding the Linux platform.
However, Informix is conspicuously absent. It does show up in the
software matrix PDF, but nowhere else that I found.

Especially interesting is the 50% offers for DB2 on Linux. DB2
Enterprise is only about $10,000 for a one processor license (I think
about $30,000 less than Informix?) Where is Informix on this? Do the
Informix marketing people know about these big initiatives? Can't
Informix get more coverage, even within the IBM product family? At least
the new OnLine 5.20 Linux offer should be more prominently featured. IDS
on Linux price breaks comparable to DB2 would be great! Although, if my
pricing figures are correct, IDS is worth 4x more than DB2!
