Enterprise OS emerges above platform layer
With government adoption of the Open Document Format and increasing tension between the proprietary and open source vendor spheres, 2008 promises to be an interesting year for open source software and standards.
One of the trends we will definitely see continuing into the new year is that of enterprise customers demanding open source solutions above and beyond the traditional demand for Linux.
Linux has made huge headway in the enterprise market with customers increasingly realising the advantages of using Linux as a platform for their solutions.
Reputable vendors
These include stability, security, reliability and general robustness of the Linux kernel. Added to the advantages of the system itself is the fact that Linux is available from reputable vendors and their partners who offer not only tailored Linux solutions and the accompanying training that is required to deploy them successfully, but also a high level of professional support, which is a must for any enterprise technology.
Linux has proven itself within the enterprise arena and many major players in the market, from the financial sector through to manufacturing and virtually every other vertical, have successfully made the switch. But at the application level, most customers have made use of proprietary software solutions, running on top of the Linux platform. This is mostly due to legacy requirements.
