About This Webinar

We have heard that time is money and know all too well that when your IT infrastructure or workloads are down, your costs mount up every minute. How do you minimize this disaster?

Wouldn’t it help to have a trusted advisor helping you with consistency in deployment and provisioning?

Your operating platform is a strategic decision that will help ensure you can remain stable, agile and able to respond to the demands of your business. Linux is continuing to grow and is the platform of choice for rapid innovation in the datacenter, cloud and beyond.

In this session we’ll share findings from IDC on how Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) provides financial benefits to customers by increasing revenue and lowering costs. We’ll also unpack our findings on open source software and linux adoption in the enterprise.
