Novell Case Study: Burlington Coat Factory
Overview Burlington Coat Factory is a national retail chain offering high quality, designer merchandise at up to 60 percent less than other department store prices. The company has been running its enterprise on Linux for several years, replacing the "Green screens" in its retail stores with Web-based applications. But the company needed to replace its large-scale servers that were obsolete, complex, and difficult to manage. Implementing clustered Intel servers throughout its enterprise would provide better performance while reducing administration time. The new Linux distribution also needed to host a large number of databases, support an upgrade to Oracle 10, and accommodate more than 350 storage devices. As a solution the company implemented SUSE Linux to decrease administrative costs and reduce hardware costs tenfold.
