Medical institute prescribes open source Zimbra

| We started with nothing and my background is with Linux so that's one of
| the reasons that attracted me to Zimbra - it ran on Linux and was
| cross platform," he said.
|
| In an effort to use open standards "as much as possible", Cartwright
| wasn't keen to go with Exchange as it is a Windows-only product and a
| lot of the researchers have a preference for using Mac OS X, while
| others need to use Linux for research.
|
| [...]
|
| The institute is running Zimbra in a virtual machine on Red Hat
| Enterprise Linux and uses open source software for servers and some
| of its 400 desktops.

| The group aims to have made the same transition across all its 960
| stores with Redhat, a version of the Linux open source operating
| system, being used to run its retail computer terminals. Four
| thousand of these have been transitioned so far, with another
| 4,000 still to be done in other countries.
|
| Its point of sale machines will also be moved to Linux, as will
| the servers running its stores and regional headquarters. The
| firm's large-scale data centre in Guernsey will be running Sun
| Solaris. It has also invested in an open source accounting
| package to run its financials outside the UK, which it is under
| an agreement not to name. The UK system won't change, said Khan,
| because he believed that "if it ain't broke, you don't fix it".

| "We continue to receive very positive feedback from clients that have
| committed to a migration from traditional email platforms, Exchange and other
| messaging infrastructure. Clearly, there is an association between
| Linux-based technology and benefits such as improved operational efficiency,
| higher levels of infrastructure management and control, as well as lower
| total cost of ownership," he adds.
