Q-net Overcomes Price Competition with IBM Linux Solution
Overview When the Government of India ended its monopoly over the Internet service provider (ISP) industry, it opened the door for start-up companies such as Q-net Information Systems (Q-net) to enter a burgeoning market. Beckoned by predictions like those by the National Association of Software and Service Companies of India (NASSCOM) that Internet usage would grow 23-fold by 2003, the Cochin, Kerala-based Company began developing its plans to provide broadband cable modem connectivity to the Internet. The answer for Q-net was an end-to-end IBM solution, using affordable Red Hat Linux on powerful and economical IBM Netfinity servers. IBM Global Services provided the third-party firewalls and network routers to create a robust technology platform and assisted Q-net with technical support for Linux, along with strategic marketing advice.
