iSeries Software Vendors Looking to Open Source Advantage
by Dan Burger
One of the main drivers in IBM's high-intensity push toward open source systems is a program called the ISV Advantage. By working directly with the independent software vendors, or ISVs, IBM is taking the open source mantra to the users, through the trusted application providers. This is particularly true in the small and midsized arena, where companies are showing greater interest in technology.

Bytware, which launched the first native OS/400 virus scanner last year, reported that some of its customers found MyDoom on their IFS systems, while Kisco announced a new deal with Symantec to distribute Norton AntiVirus 2004 with Kisco's OS/400 security software, for PC-based IFS scanning.

AmNet Ditches Intel Server Farm for iSeries Scalability
