Migration to Linux Guide Better and Less Expensive It With Free Software

Many enterprises currently are suffering from problems in IT management and quality because they are locked in by a monopolist vendor, with resultant rising TCO and technical problems. However, in a growing number of enterprises there is overall optimism, because Linux and Open Source Software are proving to be a way out of the business dilemma. And now, CEOs have started asking their CIOs for more information about Linux. The book explains: flexibility in choosing and using scalable hardware with Linux - choices of Linux, Unix and other OS distributions and platforms for OSS - choices of hardware infrastructure architecture (PC-based, server-based IT) - choices of infrastructure software (middleware, application servers, portals, and security) - the choices of desktops - the choices for back-office applications - the choices for e-business service and support for Linux and OSS - experiences of customers.Kretschmer is the author of 'Migration to Linux Guide Better and Less Expensive It With Free Software', published 2007 under ISBN 9783528058517 and ISBN 352805851X.
