Notwithstanding its heritage, LAN Server 4.0 would incorporate some relatively strong enterprise-wide services, including support for the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), a graphical user interface, and extended peer services.

the network system calls then provided under interrupt 21H gave all suppliers of network software the capability to standardize at least some of the access to LAN hardware. Most manufacturers of LAN software had announced or implemented support of NETBIOS for IBM LANs. When DOS was extended in Version 3.1,

One clearly evident (if not explicitly stated) IBM strategy in managing outside competition was to coopt popular technology. The concept of an overarching connectivity architecture such as SAA was one approach to managing these compromises.

IBM also supported a wide variety of other software interfaces, as well, including IEEE's Logical Link Control (LLC). In addition, IBM sold a number of Ethernet (802.3) related products during this time as a hedge.

HP, IBM and now even Cisco have solutions in the space, but I believe only Egenera has been doing it the longest, and has the broadest installed base of enterprises in the real-world using it and expanding footprint. In the way virtualization abstracts & configures the software world (O/S, applications, etc.), Ken Oestreich.

OS virtualization has massively simplified complexity at the software level by abstracting-away the machine-level CPU commands, and has even contributed to simplifying networking between virtual machines. Why do we have data networks, storage networks and management networks (all distinct, I might add).

I started to do that, this is the mid-area between everybody running IBM stuff into the custom computer. They were breaking this kind of software target that they were hacking, and I was so amazed that you allowed to do that without getting, you know, getting legal issues with that. So I did that.
