   More foreign banks switching to Linux
   By [13]Matt Loney 
   April 22, 2002, 5:30 AM PT

   A  New  Zealand  bank  has  become the latest institution to adopt the
   open-source  Linux operating system. According to reports, the bank is
   to move all its branches to the Linux platform. 

   New  Zealand's  TSB  Bank will join a growing number of companies that
   are  moving  to  Linux.  The  bank  was  not immediately available for
   comment, but if European examples are anything to go by, then software
   licensing  and  hardware upgrade costs are likely to feature among the
   reasons.

   In  Europe,  BP  and  Banca Commerciale Italiana feature among the big
   companies  that  have  moved to Linux. According to IBM, as many as 15
   banks  in central London are running Linux clusters. Korean Air, which
   now  does  all  its  ticketing  on  Linux,  and motorhome manufacturer
   Winnebago,  are high-profile examples. Even IBM is taking big doses of
   its own medicine.

   Software  licensing  costs  are  often  cited as a reason to switch to
   Linux,  but  hardware  costs can also be a factor. BP switched all its
   point  of  sale terminals to Linux from SCO's Unixware after realizing
   it  meant that hardware did not have to be upgraded with the software,
   according to Scott Harrison, director of Linux distributor Red Hat.

   "SCO  Unix  was  not going anywhere so BP had a strategy to migrate to
   Windows  NT,"  said  Harrison.  "The  whole IT division had spent nine
   months  trying  port  the applications, and when we started talking to
   them they had another six months to go. On top of that they would have
   to  replace  every  single PC in two to three thousand petrol stations
   around Europe because the machines in the field could not run NT."

   One  of  BP's  techies managed to port the application to Linux over a
   weekend,  and  this  was  enough  to  persuade  the company to change,
   according  to Harrison. "This saved them 20 million pounds in up-front
   hardware costs. They are still upgrading their systems, but on a cycle
   that  fits  with  the  business  needs  rather  than having to upgrade
   everything at once."

   The  issue  of  software licensing, meanwhile, has become particularly
   pertinent  in the recent financial climate. David Valentine, IBM Linux
   sales  and  marketing executive, cites budget cuts as a key driver. "A
   lot  of  the customers I visit have just about digested what Microsoft
   licensing changes mean," said Valentine. "One chief information office
   says  he  is  having  to  deal with a 15 to 20 percent budget cut each
   year,  but  his key supplier (Microsoft) is charging more for the same
   functionality."

   Another  reason companies are increasingly looking toward Linux is its
   clustering  capabilities, said Valentine. "Linux clusters allow you to
   take  old  Pentium  II or Pentium III PCs and get tremendous power for
   the  price  of  a  teabag. We train our engineers on five-year-old PCs
   that have no other use. You can create a very robust, very low-priced,
   high-capacity server."

   What's  more, said Valentine, the skills are widespread. "Not a single
   university  in  the  UK  has not turned out a student that can build a
   Beowulf cluster, because they have done it already in college."

   Citing  the  "15  or 16 fairly large" Linux clusters in central London
   banks,  Valentine said that the company is not able to talk about them
   now,  "but when the (confidentiality) contract runs out, we will start
   publicizing them."

   IBM  also has 25 customers sunning SAP on Linux. "There is a number of
   significant  global  corporations  moving  SAP  entirely to Linux," he
   said.  "A  lot of customers are saying: 'if I can get these savings on
   the  edge  of  the  Web  (with  Web  and e-mail servers), what sort of
   savings can I get with applications?'"

   "This  will  be the year that applications on Linux will become really
   significant."

   Internally,  IBM  moved  841 servers to Linux in 2001, said Valentine.
   "Through  2002  this number will increase dramatically. It is done for
   one  reason:  to lower cost in a reliable, structured low-service way.
   We  do this because it works, we don't do this because it is a fashion
   statement."
