Linux Operating System Solutions

Proprietary business support solutions have increasingly become a drain on IT budgets. The limitations of legacy platforms are compromising business-critical applications. Crucial dollars are being spent on maintaining the status quo, which sacrifices innovation.

To meet these challenges, more and more chief information officers (CIOs) are adopting open source solutions, such as Linux^®. Linux is a stable, cost-effective, enterprise-ready OS that’s proven successful in many organizations. As an open source OS, Linux can help you better control the cost of managing your enterprise and the applications your business relies on by consolidating IT infrastructure on a common Linux x86 platform. What's more, Linux can help you:

• Deliver uncompromising performance on robust, open standards-based solutions
• Free data centers from being locked into a single, proprietary vendor
• Replace aging proprietary servers with cost-effective, easy-to-maintain x86-based servers

Today, open standards-based solutions using x86-architecture servers and Linux provide the performance, scalability, reliability, security and support that your organizations demand.
