Linux on z Enterprise Server in 2011
About 1500 customers worldwide use Linux on System z;
about 100 of them use Linux with IFL-only z Systems
About 6000 IFL engines are running worldwide with Linux
on System z
The most important Linux on z IBM customer use about
290 IFL engines
About 70% of IBM System z customers use Linux on IFL
engines
About 16% of all installed MIPS worldwide are running
with Linux on IFL
