What’s Driving Linux Adoption?

Drivers

•Run on a variety

of hardware

supported by all

IHV’s

•Supports more

users with less

hardware

•Grid and Cluster

computing

•Increased uptime

•Uptime measured in years rather than days

•Easier scaling

•Linux is

inherently more

secure than

Windows

•Amazon, FedEx

and Google have

been using Linux

for years

•Same OS image

can run on a

variety of

hardware

•Fewer distinct

OS to support

•Substantial cost

savings

•Low cost

software solutions

•Leading ISV’s
