Enterprises and service providers alike are currently fueling technical innovation by embracing Open Source Software technologies. CIOs concerned by vendor lock-in are asking for open source in RFPs. Investors are betting big on Open Source Software companies.
Open Source Software technologies have emerged as the best and brightest platforms for networking, data storage, compute horsepower, and secure distributed infrastructure needs of enterprises big and small. They provide tremendous flexibility through the power of open source innovation and their respective communities and they allow businesses to be nimble, agile, and efficient by quickly responding to business needs.
Businesses have two infrastructure options. They can modernize their trusted platforms or start greenfield infrastructures. Whichever option they select, they must consider total cost of ownership (TCO), security, performance, reliability, and scalability. Choosing an open standards-based infrastructure avoids vendor lock-in and results in a lower TCO while providing business agility, interoperability, and flexibly.
Your Open Source Software platform should be built on the latest innovation from the Open Source Software community and enhanced enterprise capabilities / toolsets, production configurations, pre-integrated and tested components, administration and management functionality offered by the Open Source Software ecosystem. This webinar will highlight the benefits of utilizing Open Source Software infrastructure options. The expert panel will discuss the pros and cons of Open Source Software-based infrastructure.
