[KLUG Advocacy] Unix: Reliable, Scalable, Available, Extensible and Affordable (fwd)

[Adam Williams]

Just got this from ITWorld.  It is the first time in awhile I've seen 
a schtick about "the benefits a Unix-based strategy offers".  Maybe UNIX 
is shedding its green-screen stigma.

Dear Colleague, 
Now that you have myriad hardware devices that interoperate across complex 
and convoluted networks, applications and user bases, it only makes sense 
to keep the underlying platform consistent. Because of this, Unix, or its 
little sibling Linux, should be at the heart of your IT strategy because 
of its reliability, scalability, availability, extensibility and 
affordability.  Learn more now…

Let Carol Baroudi, CEO of the analyst firm, Baroudi Bloor, show you why 
Unix should be the center of your corporate IT strategy.  Watch

designed to educate you about the benefits a Unix-based strategy offers,
 including:

• Availability of business applications
• Predominant development skills
• Availability of other software
• Systems support and management
• Standardization

Business applications are the most important aspect of any operating 
system environment. And since Unix is rich with many general-purpose 
business applications such as office software, Web applications, and 
e-mail, as well as many business applications built specifically for 
particular industries or industry sectors, it just makes sense. Watch
