Linux: Lean on Me
I received a newsletter from rPath concerning Lean IT and it occurred to me that Linux is the keystone in each one of the elements listed in it: Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Cost reduction mandates. As more businesses work toward saving money, they'll look for ways to save on IT infrastructure (Hardware), labor and external services.
All of those cost-cutting changes point suspiciously to Linux.
Virtualization - With the exception of Microsoft's Hyper-V, all virtualization solutions are Linux or Unix-based: KVM, Xen, VMware, Solaris Zones, OpenVZ and QEMU. It's obvious from this list that Linux is the preferred technology for virtualization and saving money.
Cloud-Computing - Again, most (>90%) Cloud vendors use Xen as their solution of choice for providing inexpensive, reliable and superb performance for their customers.
