Big boys going open-source to cut costs

,----[ Quote ]
| The wave of migration from propriety 
| software to open-source applications is 
| gaining momentum as big companies are 
| jumping on the bandwagon to make cost 
| efficiencies and avoid legal charges for 
| piracy.
| 
| The enthusiasm for "going open-source" was 
| summed up at the 2009 Global Conference on 
| Open Source held at the Shangri-La Hotel in 
| Jakarta on Monday which was attended by 
| hundreds of open-source users from across 
| the globe.
| 
| Indonesia's largest telecommunication 
| company PT Telkom has studied the use of 
| open-source software applications since 
| 2005.

Free software poised to look proprietary ware in the eye

,----[ Quote ]
| Free and open source software (FOSS) may 
| just be ready to shed its tag of being a 
| poor cousin of proprietary software, as a 
| range of users from classrooms to boardrooms 
| are finding it a profitable option to 
| expensive proprietary software.
| 
| Users as diverse as government schools in 
| Kerala to the Life Insurance Corporation, 
| and private sector majors to NGOs have 
| warmed up to the FOSS advantage. 
| Significantly, not all of them have adopted 
| FOSS merely on the cost advantage, but also 
| for the pleasure of being different

Linux rising

,----[ Quote ]
| As mentioned above, this market is seeing some
| significant growth. Letâs find out how far these
| companies have helped to push the Linux market
| upwards.
|
| Today, many of Red Hatâs customers with valid
| subscriptions are enjoying the benefits of newer
| versions or upgrades of RHEL which has integrated
| virtualization, high availability and failover
| solutions, storage enhancements, greater
| manageability and more. Red Hat is also the
| leading named (organized) contributor to the
| Linux Kernel accounting for 13.2% of these.
