Linux cuts Kent Police system costs by 90%
Kent Police has cut the cost of running its major criminal investigations system by 90% using Novell Open Enterprise Server, the company's version of SuSE Linux.
The migration to Novell enabled Kent to scale up the Holmes II system to investigate this February's raid on the Securitas depot in Tonbridge - one of the biggest criminal investigations in the force's history.
Kent Police migrated Holmes II to the Novell operating system after systems integrator Unisys adapted it to run on the open source operating system. The force's IT department then searched for the cheapest hardware to support the system.
