Linux is ready
Why Linux? Well, the answer to this question was given in detail by PK Mishra, Senior Consulting Architect, Novell India in his presentation titled ‘Linux for eGovernance solution.’
In this session, he explained where and how Linux can be used and how it is absolutely ready for government as well as enterprises. According to him, cost, choice, security and reliability along with standards, peer review, freedom, flexibility, no lock in, TCO, reuse, and ROI are some of the significant advantages of using Linux. Talking about government, Mishra said, “Government has a complex way of operating and the role of the government is far from profits. Government costs are critical factors and they have to do things at the optimum cost.” Some of the ways to achieve this would be to improve server utilization and decrease the cost of owning and managing the same; deploy solutions on high volume, industry-standard hardware architectures; leverage open source and open standards maximally; use validated solution stacks for optimum performance & reliability; and decouple services from hardware by virtualizing servers, storage and the network.
