IBM PowerLinuxTMa powerful combination AGENDA: Opensource– industry study IBM and Linux IBM PowerLinuxTM, Linux on POWERTM IBM hardware portfolio for Linux Benefits of running Linux on POWERTM IBM October 2012 Announcements
Opensource – why do we use it ? Opensource adoption 50% - prefer opensource 75% - consider opensource equal to proprietary software * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/
Concerns ? * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/
How familiar are we with opensource ? * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/
