Linux
IBM Linux ProductsIs Linux the right operating system for your business?
With all of the consolidation in the technology sector, it would seem technology options are limited. However, today there are more options than ever when it comes to operating systems. The most common IT initiatives in 2004 were server consolidation and infrastructure integration. Both situations often caused companies to consider what operating system would best meet the requirements of the business. Nearly all businesses today have diverse infrastructure environments that may include Microsoft, Unix or Linux operating systems.
When deciding which operating system to implement for an existing environment, a new application or a migration (i.e., Windows NT end-of-life), total cost of ownership is a critical consideration. Costs and benefits of Windows, Unix and Linux can vary greatly. There is no one solution that is best in every situation; it depends on how the environment will be used in addition to consideration of existing systems. Ongoing maintenance can greatly affect overall costs.
The best way to find out which solution will work best for you is to do your homework and consider engaging a consultant that can help you assess the various options available today.
