Enterprise Linux Selection Guide: Balancing Features, Support, and Cost

Overview The Linux operating system has grown exponentially over the last decade - both in popularity and in functionality. Nowadays, it is robust and ready for front-end Internet infrastructure applications such as Web servers, security servers, directory servers, and firewalls. Moreover, as open source software, Linux encourages a continuous stream of new applications and development tools and offers benefits such as lower risk and easier customization. This paper can help an enterprise make an informed Linux choice by offering a clear process for deciding which version offers the best possible combination of features, support, and cost.
