Network Operating Systems White Papers

Overcoming Challenges in Managing Linux

Overview The introduction of Linux brought the promise of a new level of cost-efficiency and flexibility in enterprise IT environments. But as Linux systems scale, management becomes unwieldy. The prohibitive cost of managing large installations over time -- making sure every single server is running right, even up to thousands of servers -- has gotten in the way of achieving Linux's full potential.

The challenges include massive heterogeneity, sheer volume of equipment and data, and lack of nimble management tools. Learn more about a new administration model with innovative technology that breaks down the barriers allowing you to get the most out of your Linux systems with the least amount of effort.
