Exploiting The Potenital Of Linux
Exploiting the Potenital Of Linux
Executive Summary
Organizations today are struggling with how to
expand their business and compete in the face of
lean IT budgets. Doing more with fewer resources,
optimizing systems and revitalizing IT infrastructures
for greater efficiency and agility to respond to everchanging
business conditions remain at the top of
many business leaders' agendas.
The Linux operating system is not only ushering
in a new approach to software development worldwide,
but also solving key problems and limitations that
have plagued enterprises for decades. Linux is
reducing costs; increasing customer satisfaction and
providing business benefits through greater reliability,
efficiency and scalability; and offering unprecedented
flexibility by extending computing capabilities to new
devices. Linux is no longer considered a "fringe"
operating system; it is now becoming part of the
mainstream corporate IT infrastructure.
While solving many IT problems, Linux also
presents unique challenges of its own. Since
few organizations have homogeneous computing
environments, they have to be able to integrate Linux
with their other systems to provide seamless access
to applications and data. They have to be able to monitor,
manage, secure and back up Linux systems like their
other platforms. And they need to take full advantage
of Linux by deploying more applications that run on it.
