Benefits of migrating from Windows to Linux

If you want your business to expand beyond the limitations of proprietary vendor hardware and software then Linux servers can help.

The enterprise computing qualities of Unix with cost effective hardware choices are on offer, from x86 servers to 64-bit computing and supercomputers.

Linux servers are well known for providing excellent uptime, and also optimal security and resistance to attacks that often allow them to run without interruption for as long as the hardware is working.

There are lots of benefits to employing a Linux server rather than a Windows server, and these include:

• Security - In terms of security integration and management, Linux provides a more secure and manageable environment with more functionality. It is very rare that a Linux server is attacked, and if it is attacked then they tend to be limited in scope.
• Reliability - Only the best code is used as it is developed by thousands of customers. This makes the operating system extremely open and trustworthy compared to Windows servers.
• Flexibility - With Linux there is the option to choose between hardware that is the best in terms of price and performance.


• Financial - A positive return on investment is provided by Linux servers, with regards to hardware, system software, layered and application software, manpower/Human resources (HR), facilities and incremental revenues.
