IBM has been investing a lot of money in developing OpenStack and related software to manage and run Linux on z Systems. In addition to that they've been updating their various middleware products to capitalize on what they see as the growing market for mobile. In essence, it's going to be a combination of z/OS (since that's where most of the data lives), z/VM for a hypervisor, and Linux guests. Did you seriously imagine it would be anything else?
