Linux for Businesses
Professional Linux administration, monitoring and management for your business success.
What is Linux?
Linux is a free operating system based on the Unix concept, created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. As an open source project, it has been continuously developed by a worldwide community ever since.
Today, Linux is ubiquitous: it forms the foundation of smartphones (Android), powers the majority of all web servers worldwide, runs on all top 500 supercomputers, and is found in smart TVs, routers and IoT devices. In the enterprise environment, Linux is the first choice for servers, cloud infrastructures and containerised applications.
Why Linux in the Enterprise?
Linux offers decisive advantages for professional use in businesses.
Lower Hardware Requirements
Linux runs efficiently on older and less powerful hardware. Longer lifecycles and lower investment costs.
Less Susceptible to Viruses
Due to its permissions model and lower prevalence as a desktop OS, Linux is significantly less susceptible to malware.
High Customisability
From server configuration to the GUI -- every aspect of Linux can be tailored to individual requirements.
Significant Licence Savings
No licence costs for the operating system. The savings can be invested in better hardware or services.
Stability and Scalability
Linux servers often run for years without a reboot. The architecture scales from single servers to large cluster environments.
