Open Source Goes Bigtime

Overview When the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's (AIHW) IT manager faced ongoing security and integration issues with proprietary infrastructure software, he made a decision to adopt a selection of open source tools which he said get the job done with a good level of support. In addition to being an early adopter of open source software on its proprietary Unix systems, the AIHW also deployed Linux on a number of systems at the edge for mail, and proxy services. For Web serving, the institute replaced Oracle's own HTTP server with the standard open source Apache.
