Linux networks much cheaper than Windows - report | |

Total cost of ownership (TCO) for medium-sized companies is up to a third lower for Linux than for Windows based systems. That's according to Australian IT services firm Cybersource which reckons a Linux-based system is between 34 per cent and 25 percent less expensive to run than a Windows network, with users deploying open source on existing hardware saving the most. The study (which looked at purchasing and operating costs) aimed to benchmark TCO for an organisation with 250 users, over three years. The costing models included staff costs, application licences, maintaining servers and workstations and networking, as well as miscellaneous systems costs. | ||
