Mainsoft Professional Services ports .NET Web and server applications to run on WebSphere software and other J2EE-enabled platforms on a fixed- time, fixed-cost basis, and validates them as IBM eServer compatible. Dot Net ISVs gain free access to IBM's system and Linux distribution resources and middleware, as well as troubleshooting support for Visual Basic .NET and C# applications running on IBM's eServer and middleware platforms.

"We have Fortune 1000 customers whose datacenters are built on a variety of systems, technologies and platforms, and that are looking for a simple, cost-effective way to deploy our solutions on multiple platforms," said John Scumniotales, Vice President of Products for Pacific Edge Software, a leading IT Governance and Project Portfolio Management solutions provider. "Currently, we are working with Mainsoft to deploy Mariner, our flagship product, to J2EE and Linux in addition to .NET servers, which will enable us to integrate easily and effectively with our software partners, at a lower total cost of ownership for our customers."

"For large-scale deployments, a growing number of software vendors and developers want to extend their existing Windows applications to Java EE and Linux, without having to rewrite their applications or expand their skill sets," said Yaacov Cohen, president and CEO of Mainsoft. "Mainsoft has a twelve year track-record of solving our customers' portability challenges. Together with IBM, we deliver an easy, cost-effective solution to compile Windows applications to multiple Linux platforms."

Mainsoft Corporation, the cross-platform development company, has announced it is working with IBM to extend the Linux ecosystem to better enable Microsoft customers to move over to Linux. The program allows Windows Web and server applications to run on Linux across IBM's line of eServer platforms supporting IBM WebSphere Application Servers. Enterprises that prefer the security, scalability and performance of WebSphere software will have greater flexibility to choose Linux as a common operating environment, paving the way to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations.
