6 reasons to move your server to Linux

• Reliability
• Linux is well known for its superb stability and reliability. Stability in server area means long uptimes, non problematic upgrades or patches even at system core parts, ability to solve race conditions, applications do not crash themselves on the system.
• Performance
• Independent tests has shown server applications running on Linux are generally faster than applications running on Windows servers. You can get more from your hardware while running Linux as it scales well from lower specification hardware to supercomputers sized hardware.
• Security
• Security is very important and focused area in Linux. Linux integrates security features addressing common security issues (confidentiality, integrity, availability, etc.) as a natural part right into its the heart - the kernel. But besides that the kernel or the applications are open source so everybody can check and improve their security. And thousands of people are doing this every day. That results not just in better overall security, but also to giving you a momentum when problem appears you are not sentenced to sit and wait for the solution.
• Adaptable ecosystem
• You have choices on Linux more options to solve a single problem. That means you can adapt your systems on-the-fly exactly to new requirements or as a reactions to change in conditions. Linux can run on wide variety of supported hardware devices and architectures. It can also live very well in the environments containing many hardware architectures.
• Total Costs of Ownership (TCO)
• This could be matter of opinion, but we believe Linux has lower TCO than proprietary solutions, definitely in long term and with increasing total amount of owned systems . Our real experience is initial investments, implementation could be more expensive (despite the fact it is usually same or even less), but once you have Linux system up and running, you don't have care of it for years. No re-installations required because of performance drops after few month of usage, no disk de-fragmentations, no registry corruptions, no reboots after patches - simply almost zero operation expenses.
• Large developers base
• There are thousands of developers worldwide improving Linux every day. Do you think any proprietary company can keep up with such a large developers base ? You get the most innovative operating system on Earth while choosing Linux.

Who should migrate

Linux is suitable for virtually any server environment - file serving, database serving, web serving, single-sign-on solution, VPN, etc. The answer is then quite simple: Everybody who wants to enjoy and benefit any of !!!Linux advantages. There are no significant barriers of replacing any proprietary server system with Linux anywhere from small-business environments to large companies data centers.

How to migrate

Servers are usually the heart of company IT infrastructure and any change will affect a lot o users. So the migration must be carefully planned and well tested before actual deployment. Zonio experts will guide you through the whole process of planning, implementation, testing, deployment and post-deployment support.
