The Open Mainframe Project will foster
collaboration between industry and academia to develop tools and
resources for enterprise innovation
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced it is a founding
Platinum member of The Linux Foundation’s new Open Mainframe
Project. The project is designed to create a collaborative
environment among top industry leaders and academic institutions to
drive both improvements and enterprise innovation on the mainframe.
The project will initially focus on reinforcing four key areas:
scalability, availability, performance and security.
The Linux Foundation is a non-profit consortium dedicated to
fostering the growth of Linux and collaborative software
development. As a founding Platinum-level member of the Open
Mainframe Project, CA Technologies participation will help fuel
innovation by participating in a neutral forum to drive support for
Linux tools, associated hypervisors and open source components.
“As the application economy brings increased workload demands to
organizations, advancements are needed to promote innovation on
Linux systems. CA Technologies is proud to partner with the Linux
Foundation and other founding companies to help progress innovation
on the mainframe,” said David Hodgson, general manager, Mainframe,
CA Technologies. “As a leader in management tools for Linux
platforms both on, and off, the mainframe, we are committed to
investing in mainframe innovations that are secure, reliable and
cost-effective.”
Linux has been on the mainframe for 15 years and has become a
critical operating environment for its flexibility, openness and
ability to handle complex and large workloads. The growth of Linux
on the mainframe, coupled with its potential, validates the need
that all companies should be educated on this option so they can
make the right choices for workload placement in the Application
Economy.
According to The Linux Foundation, 97 percent of hiring managers
report they will bring on Linux talent relative to other skills
areas in the next six months. The Open Mainframe Project’s academic
partnerships with universities, such as Marist College, will ensure
future mainframe developers can pursue innovative solutions on the
mainframe to manage the future of mobile processing, cloud
computing and virtualization.
“We are excited to extend our existing relationship with CA
Technologies as they understand Linux will deliver the speed and
efficiency needed to operate in this dynamic mobile and cloud
computing landscape,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The
Linux Foundation. “CA understands the potential that Linux has on
the mainframe and other platforms. CA’s expertise and history of
innovation makes them an ideal contributor to help us advance the
most complex enterprise operations through The Open Mainframe
Project.”
