The myriad advantages of deploying Linux on
today’s commodity-based X86 servers — superior
flexibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness — remains a
driving factor in the success of open architecture designs in the
data center. But those efficiencies are but one part of the overall
data center equation, and highest ROI can only be achieved with
careful attention to the post-purchase operations of those
systems.
