Your Business Needs Linux

In today’s tough economic environment, your business needs every advantage it can get to remain viable and competitive. Now is the time to explore the advantages of Linux and Open Source alternatives.

The Open Source Advantage

• Powerfull Performance - Linux consistently outperforms both UNIX and Windows in benchmarking test like TPC-C, TPC-H and SPECweb2005. In fact, many hardware vendors base published performance marks that were run on Linux.  In addition, it doesn’t take bleeding edge hardware to achieve high performance which means your equipment refresh cycles lengthen and hardware costs decrease.
• Tighter Security - Your data is one of your company’s most important assets. With Linux, you can rest assured that your data is protected from threats such as viruses, hackers and spyware. Not only is Linux more inherently secure than Windows, Linux also has the support of the entire open source community. Any potential security problems are resolved swiftly and definitively.
• Maximum Flexibility - Take control of your computing environment and make it work the way you need it to. With Linux and Open Source, you have complete freedom to modify code to suit your needs, complete choice in hardware platform, and the ability to decide who and how it is supported.
• Reduced Costs - By choosing Linux and Open Source, you say goodbye to insane licensing costs and vendor specific support contracts. Linux is free. Free to download and free to install where you need it, as many times as you need it. You also have the freedom to choose who supports your environment at whatever cost you are comfortable with and can live with.
