Air New Zealand is replacing 150 Compaq NT servers with two IBM mainframes
running Linux, saving the company a potential NZ$600,000 (£180,000) in
licence fees alone, according to a report in The New Zealand Herald. The
company will then be in a position to replace 4000 Microsoft Exchange clients
with Bynari, an open-source email application. The IBM Z800 mainframes will
run Linux, Websphere Application Server, DB2 database and Tivoli software.
