Linux: The Real Enterprise Choice

Tutorial Details:

Linux & Open-Source Center Editor Steven Vaughan-Nichols understands why people think Linux is an enteprise-level operating system. But what is it with these folks who think Windows is a real enterprise system?

You don't have to buy Linux hype. Just look at what CIOs are already doing with Linux.

According to both Gartner's and IDC's most recent server surveys, Linux is going great guns.

As Jean Bozman, an IDC research vice president, said in a statement at the time, Linux servers are taking on important roles in IT customers' computing infrastructure. What began with edge and Web-centric workloads is branching out to include high-performance computing] and commercial workloads.

IDC goes on to speculate that Linux server shipments will have a compounded annual growth rate of more than 28 percent through 2007. A recent survey of 500-plus IT users in North America done by SG Cowens Securities Corp., an investment research house, found that Linux was already in use at nearly 80 percent of respondents' sites, with 72 percent running it on their servers and 15 percent already running it on their desktops.

Finally, let's look at support. You can, if you want, roll your own support from online Linux resources. But why bother? This isn't 1999. Today, IBM, Novell and Oracle, all enterprise companies you probably already work with, will be happy to provide you first-tier Linux support.

The real question isn't whether Linux is enterprise-ready. Doh! The real question is, Why do people keep thinking that Windows is enterprise-ready? I can only believe it's because they haven't really compared Windows with Solaris, AIX, z/OS, OS/400, HP/UX or, oh yes, Linux.

eWEEK.com Linux & Open Source Center Editor Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has been using and writing about operating systems since the late '80s and thinks he may just have learned something about them along the way.
