Linux in the EnterpriseBusiness Operation
Cost/Hr. of Downtime
• Need for Linux based HA solutions is higher than ever:
• Critical Linux applications such as SAP and Oracle are rapidly growing across the enterprise
• Applications not missions critical in the past are critical now (email, etc)
• These applications need to be highly available to serve today’s 24x7x365 business landscape
• Bottom Line: Cost of downtime to customers is substantial ! Cost of protection is NOT.
