ARMONK, N.Y. June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — IBM today announced new System z software to enable companies to drive down IT costs while increasing business flexibility and improving service. IBM announced it plans to release approximately 30 new software technology enhancements in 2009 that extend the advantages of using System z as a platform for developing, deploying and running today’s applications and business data.

The announcement is part of IBM’s ongoing pursuit to help customers simplify their environment and reduce costs by migrating scattered applications and data onto a lower cost, more scalable and manageable platform.

The software initiative spans IBM’s branded product lines for application architecture, development, and delivery; business intelligence and database management; transaction management and IT service management.

Market adoption of System z as a platform for new applications is demonstrated by the growth in ISV interest in the IBM mainframe. Over the last year, more than 150 new ISVs have embraced the platform, and more than 1,000 new vendor applications were added.

ISVs recently deploying applications on System z include SAP, Chordiant, Temenos, i-flex, ACI, and Norkom.

Any opportunities for reducing costs, for achieving more with less has to be a good thing for those organizations already using System Z as a platform, I’m off to read up more.
