IBM is unwavering to lure the customers with a bundle of Linux, virtualization, and IBM's Lotus collaboration software IBM has joined the band wagon with Virtual Bridges and Canonical to offer a Linux-desktop solution planned to drive as "significant savings" compared with Microsoft desktop software. The virtual desktop package runs open-standards-based e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, unified communication, social networking, and other software that is "Microsoft free."
IBM and its partners are claiming noteworthy savings for companies with a large user base using their new bundle compared with Microsoft desktop shops. Appealing to cost-controlled shops around the world, they declare that the virtual desktop will yield savings on licensing costs ($500 to $800 per user on Microsoft licensing), hardware (no need to upgrade), power utilization and IT services (90 percent savings of desk side PC support; 75 percent of security/user administration; 50 percent of help desk services such as password resets, and 50 percent for software installations.
This latest move by IBM is prospective as well as interesting. It claims the first of the big vendors to not only show full support for KVM virtualization but also by actively selling it as part of their IBM Global Technology Services.

Fascinating software introduced by Qualcomm
Qualcomm is best acknowledged for its CDMA chipsets which are set up in popular cell phones from manufacturers such as Kyocera (NYSE: KYO) and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) . Currently the company has been promoting BREW , (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless), an application development environment designed to make it easier for third parties to erect wireless data applications. Somehow BREW the acceptance and the progress has been slow and largely under the industry's radar. BREW initiated as a tool to help developers bond with their applications to carriers' back end billing systems.
Qualcomm designed a standard interface that would be working with a variety of carrier networks, easing development chores, the company developed its own certification process. The firm's ecosystem works like this -- developers create an application and submit it to Qualcomm, which then certifies it and makes it available to the various wireless carriers. In this process, developers build one application, and it becomes available to a number of different wireless carriers. Till the date, third parties have used BREW to build applications so carriers can offer services such as ring tones, gaming and video mail to consumers.
Another issue is that the software is often looked as a niche technology as it works only on phones using Qualcomm's chipsets. Qualcomm had some success with BREW but it is still blurred whether it will be accepted by a significant number of developers," concluded The NPD Group's Strother.

IBM Mainframes versus Standards
A lot of marketing effort to promote their proprietary mainframe over industry standard solution has been extended by IBM. Given that IBM's mainframe is proprietary to IBM it is plain why IBM would like to lock-in x86 customers but is consolidating Linux applications running on distributed x86 servers to an IBM mainframe really a good idea?
IBM will convince you to reduce your TCO through huge consolidation, but proceeding down this path is created with risks including application collapse and advanced TCO.
