Nouveau Mainframe goes to Brussels
I’d almost forgotten that Linux saved the moribund mainframe market from obsolsecence a while ago. (COBOL anyone?) In the wake of the Microsoft decision, one of the “New Mainframe” companies now seeks to take its struggle against IBM to Brussels.
PSI, which has been trying to break into the mainframe computer business, already has a private antitrust suit against IBM pending in the US. At the end of last week it was hinting heavily that it would now try to ride the Microsoft ruling all the way to Brussels. “I’d say the EU is the perfect place for us to push this right now,” PSI said. “Europe has definitely changed the game. This ruling opens up opportunities for other companies.”
