Add server support for Linux (zLinux)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Mountains of data are moved to support Intellimagic Vision, especially for heavy IMS users.  It would be great if we could install the server on Linux - specifically zLinux RHEL.  This would allow all of the network traffic to be contained within the CEC, and not consume valuable network resources transmitting the zipped files.

Client Benefits

- Reduced Cloud Costs
OR
- Reduced on-prem x86 or HCI costs

- Increased adoption of IFL engines by IBM clients - More specialty MIPS sold
