Software licensing can represent a significant recurring cost for businesses.
Open-source technologies can remove or reduce licensing costs for selected parts of the infrastructure while maintaining enterprise-grade capabilities.
For example, organizations may be able to reduce dependency on licenses associated with:
- Desktop operating systems
- Server operating systems
- Identity infrastructure
- VPN platforms
- Virtualization
- Monitoring
- Databases
- Collaboration systems
- Web infrastructure
The result can be a simpler and more predictable IT cost structure.
