IBM to invest $1 billion in Linux
IBM said it would invest $1 billion in new Linux and open source technologies for its servers in a bid to boost efficiency for big data and cloud computing.
IBM vice president Brad McCredie said--Many companies are struggling to manage big data and cloud computing using commodity servers based on decades-old, PC era technology.
These servers are quickly overrun by data which triggers the purchase of more servers, creating unsustainable server sprawl.
The era of big data calls for a new approach to IT systems; one that is open, customizable, and designed from the ground up to handle big data and cloud workloads.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said-Iran 'will never develop nuclear weapons
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani vowed that his government will never develop nuclear weapons, his strongest signal yet that he may be seeking a diplomatic thaw with the West after decades of acrimony.
Speaking to the US network at his presidential compound in Tehran, Rouhani said the tone of a letter he had received from President Barack Obama, part of a recent exchange of messages between the leaders, was "positive and constructive.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has said that nuclear weapons development would be inconsistent with Islamic values. But a willingness by a newly elected president to rule out nuclear arms could help provide a new opening in long-stalled international nuclear talks.
Note—
The United States and Iran cut diplomatic relations in 1980, after students and Islamic militants stormed the US Embassy in Tehran and took American diplomats hostage.
Obama ran for president in 2008 in part by vowing to engage with Iran. But Tehran continued its nuclear development and tough sanctions imposed by Washington and the United Nations have taken a severe toll on Iran's economy.
