| Last year proved to be a watershed year for
| OSS in SA and many other parts of the world.
| Tough economic conditions prompted many
| organisations to look at alternatives to
| proprietary software for the first time.
| Others that already had positive experiences
| with Linux and with open source Web server
| platforms are expanding their use of OSS.
|
| Even though a move is beginning into more
| positive economic territory in the early
| part of 2010, I'm expecting to see growth of
| OSS follow the trajectory it did in 2009.
| Many organisations have realised there are
| open source solutions that can do the same
| job as expensive proprietary solutions at a
| lower cost and with no compromise to
| reliability or performance.
|
| 2. Open source virtualisation solutions
| begin to blossom
|
| Today, many enterprises are looking towards
| major commercial software vendors such as
| Microsoft for server virtualisation
| solutions. But in reality, many of these
| solutions have at least some open source
| technology under their bonnets.
