Meeting the Needs of the Mobile Workforce without Additional IT Headaches

| Conclusion
| Linux-based Exchange alternatives that use the Linux file system, which is
| proven to scale reliability into multiple Petabytes, can support large, even
| bottomless mailboxes and make it possible to eliminate Outlook access in
| cached mode from laptops and desktops. When appropriate, remote access can be
| limited to Webmail access only through feature-rich Web 2.0 clients that
| offer most Outlook services without the risks associated with caching data.
| In addition, the Linux-based proxies offer a safer alternative to an
| Internet-exposed Windows server.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
