Linux Stock News announces the addition of BakBone Software, Inc. (TSE: ONE), an industry leader in enterprise class storage management software, to its client list. BakBone's NetVaultTM product provides full Linux functionality and support to network resources. Recognizing the growing importance of Linux in Internet and Application Service Providers, corporate networks, and the emerging market for Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS), NetVault is the only solution available today that offers a solution to these environments under Linux.

NetVault is also currently offered jointly by NEC in conjunction with Oracle and Red Hat for NEC's Linux Enterprise Server product suite.

LINUX BACKUP AND STORAGE
One solution for dealing with the potential loss of information from viruses is to simply backup your data. Certainly, there are a number of people and companies out there that experienced a loss of data from the "LoveBug" virus. Even though Linux users were not affected by the bug, viruses draw attention to the fact that important data cannot be compromised and must be protected. One solution is simple: backup data regularly, verify it and use appropriate backup solutions...

LINUX AND MAINFRAMES
This week, IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced that it had released a version of Linux for the 390 line of mainframe computers. These are the "big iron" machines that have been running for years within Fortune 500 companies who don't just let any operating system run on them. IBM placed the code for download on the website and not long after, 2,000 copies had been downloaded. At this point, IBM decided that enough momentum had been gathered and announced this to the world. This is a great example of how Linux is adding value to business functions where other systems such as Windows NT can never go. Back in the 1950's, mainframes were the only machines businesses could use for their computing functions and IBM proved its dominance in this market and this niche made IBM one of the world's most powerful companies. This dynasty lasted until the early 1980's when networking came into existence as a viable and affordable technological alternative for all businesses. However, many of the largest companies still use mainframes such as IBM's 390 because these computers are so entrenched within their IT architectures. So many systems have been built around these mainframes for years that it would simply cost too much to replace them. To replace the OS on a 390 mainframe therefore is a decision not to be taken lightly as these computers control the most crucial operations of the company...

RANTS AND RAVES
It has been very lonely being one of the few positive voices for Linux stocks over the past few months. It appears that we finally may be turning a corner as the popular press is beginning to warm up to Linux companies again. This week, I have selected an article written by Larry Dignan that appeared in ZDNet's UK Linux channel and contains an excellent commentary on Linux stocks. The article is entitled "Linux stocks go from famous to forgotten". This article is copyright ZDNet UK and can be found at the following link...
