Having your own s/390 mainframe and AS/400 systems would be a plus if you are interested in porting FreeBSD to those platforms. Given that IBM is charging hundreds of thousands of dollars for the licenses to use their software on the s/390 architecture, a FreeBSD system could provide substantial savings for those organizations using the s/390 systems. As the AS/400 is just a glorified PowerPC platform you could work on porting FreeBSD to AS/400 with the Power PC group. --> Our alliances with all these above companies give us the necessary --> confidence and trained manpower for executing Projects on-site and off-shore --> on various technological platforms.
