You work for a large manufacturing company, which is considering Linux as a solution for some or all servers in its IT Department. The company hosts an Oracle database on UNIX, and the UNIX servers that host this database contain several small programs that were custom made. Furthermore, Windows 7 is currently used on desktops throughout the company, and users store their data on Windows Server 2008 file servers. What considerations must you keep in mind before migrating your company’s servers to Linux? Which distribution(s) and OSS would you choose to accomplish this? If you need to create a report detailing the benefits of moving to an open source solution using Linux, what benefits would you list in the report to persuade others in the company that Linux lowers the total cost of ownership?
