Linux on IBM Z

Our Team Pioneered the Virtual Server Farm

Sine Nomine Associates introduced the concept of the virtual server farm using Linux on the S/390 IBM mainframe. Since then, our team has “never looked back,” developing applications for cloning Linux images, refining procedures for large-scale implementations, and sharing our knowledge at trade shows, at conferences, and in professional magazines.

Our work has led to major implementations of this architecture, consolidating functions such as file serving, print serving, transaction processing and mail administration onto more efficient platforms.
