Unisys Corporation has promised to beef up its open source development efforts after signing up to the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) consortium.
The IT firm will participate in OSDL Linux working groups which focus on its core competency of providing technology to help organisations migrate from proprietary Unix/Risc-based systems to 32-bit and 64-bit Intel-based technology infrastructures.
"Enterprise customers are demanding industrial-strength Linux solutions," said Unisys president and chief operating officer Joe McGrath.
"By participating in OSDL's working groups, we will contribute to important discussions with Linux developers, other IT vendors and end users to help advance the adoption of Linux in the enterprise data centre."
Stuart Cohen, chief executive of OSDL, added: "For Linux to continue its growth in the data centre, customers will require hardware and software choices.
"We are very pleased to have Unisys join as our newest member and we look forward to tapping its expertise in high-end systems in the form of contributions to our working group initiatives."
