SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 1998--Cahners In-Stat Group believes that in the near future the telecommunications industry, vendors and users both, will benefit from an operating system, one they have largely ignored in the past, called Linux.
The majority of PC server makers are expected to begin offering Linux on their boxes next year, adding to its market presence.
''Linux is cheaper and more robust than Windows NT and has open source code to allow for customization, making it a compelling alternative for the telecom industry,'' said Brian Strachman, research analyst for Cahners In-Stat Group's Telephony Service. ''This operating system is reliable, scalable, simple to reconfigure and most importantly, it's free.''
Linux is one of the fastest evolving operating systems in history and Cahners In-Stat Group expects a flood of new applications to Linux to arrive in 1999. |
