IBM has expanded a programme to lure customers using Sun servers and software to Big Blue products running Red Hat Linux, the company plans to announce on Tuesday. The company will offer qualified customers a free service to assess the best way to migrate from Sun's Solaris operating system to Linux.

The company will try to convince those customers they should then purchase IBM's Migration Factory services, in which a team of IBM specialists works with the client to make the transition. Since IBM began its Linux programme several years ago, about 3,000 of its 12,000 Linux customer engagements have been with customers moving from Solaris to Linux, IBM said.
