Enterprise Deployments
Considerable savings are compelling many organizations to move from UNIX to Linux. Most of these companies complete their migrations during major IT milestones, switching platforms as they upgrade hardware or key software, or when they renew maintenance. So, how exactly are these businesses using Linux? Just as they used UNIX-to support infrastructure services, enterprise applications and mission-critical databases throughout the organization.
