Reliability and flexibility of Linux servers
Reliability
The reliability of a Linux server is a result of its modular architecture and design, its maturity and the testing and refinement done by thousands of customers around the world during its development cycle. The result is an operating system that you can truly trust.
Linux servers are highly reliable and stable. Linux began as a meritocracy and continues to operate that way. Anybody can look at the code as it is open source, this means that only the best codes get submitted and used. Due to this many leading companies in finance, government, retail and other industries are trusting business-critical applications to Linux.
Flexibility
Linux servers uncouple the operating system decision from the hardware decision. This flexibility lets you choose what hardware is best from price and performance stand points, consolidate operations and better control costs.
Linux servers provide continuous cost savings through higher flexibility in terms of vendor independence and improved integration.
Linux also provides the flexibility to port applications across systems and control costs in future through vendor choice.
The platform can run along with other operating systems. Linux enables you to build solutions that can adapt to changing needs. You have the means to be more responsive to your employees and constituents, Linux servers also lay the foundation for seamless future growth.
