Seagull Software (AEX: SEAGULL), announced today that LegaSuite—Seagull Software's platform for rapidly transforming mainframe applications into reusable, SOA services—supports Linux on IBM zSeries mainframes, and has met IBM's specifications for validation to receive the “Ready for IBM eServer with Linux” mark. As a member of the IBM eServer Application Advantage for Linux program—also known as Chiphopper—Seagull Software is committed to integration solutions for customers who use Linux and mainframes.

The Chiphopper program includes access to porting tools and a validation environment. “As a member of the Chiphopper program, we were able to easily port LegaSuite to Linux on zSeries,” said Ardy Franssen, Seagull Software Vice President of Product Management. “We agree with IBM that there is a growing demand for Linux on mainframes, and this program provides us with the support structure to offer Linux-based solutions to our customers.”

As the need grows for mainframes to participate in service-oriented architecture, this offering ensures that Seagull Software customers have a dependable SOA transformation solution that can take advantage of Linux on zSeries mainframes. “We're committed to providing the most comprehensive, flexible and powerful integration solutions to customers to leverage their legacy assets,” continued Franssen. “The ‘Ready for IBM eServer with Linux' mark means that mainframe customers who utilize Linux can efficiently scale operations while taking advantage of the cost-of-ownership benefits that Linux on zSeries provides.”

LegaSuite integration middleware has a flexible runtime architecture that operates on Linux, as well as natively on the mainframe in CICS, and also runs on Windows, AIX, Sun Solaris, HP/UX and iSeries platforms.
