Why Linux

Some of important reasons to select Linux OS

¥  Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)

Linux is the name usually given to any Unix-like computer operating system that uses the Linux kernel. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free software and open source development: typically all underlying source code can be freely modified, used, and redistributed by anyone.

¥ Linux is every where

  • Linux is the fastest growing server operating system –installed on one out of every four servers worldwide.
  • Linux client operating environment (COE) shipments grew 107% in 2001, more than 4 times the growth in 2000.
  • Linux spending is expected to increase at a 29.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years.
  • 57.1% of Linux users use Linux to run a “major application.”
  • Linux was one of the more fortunate players during the 2001 economic downturn; Linux unit shipments were up in 2001 compared with 2000.
  • Both the Linux COE and server operating environment (SOE) market segments will experience strong continued growth.

¥  Linux delivers

  • Modifiability – to tailor your system to your unique business needs
  • Reliability – to keep your system running at peak performance
  • scalability – to expand along with your business
  • High availability – to optimize your system
  • Affordability – to provide maximum investment protection

¥  Open standards

Open standards helps businesses leverage the applications and platforms that best satisfy their particular requirements. With an open source design, Linux helps companies expand business and reduce operating costs. Companies can modify their Linux solution to satisfy future business needs – for optimum investment return.
Ultimately, businesses that make open standards a priority typically avoid “vendor-lock,” and are better able to respond to technological shifts. They can build systems capable of integrating mixed components for substantially greater efficiency, scalability and connectivity to partners, suppliers, customers and others.

 

Linux in Embedded systems

    Today, GNU\Linux is the fastest growing operating system platform for embedded systems applications. It is powerful, cost-effective, has freely available source codes and can be used without licensing or royalty fees. Widespread device support, reputation for reliability, conformance to the open standards, inherent robustness and extensive documentation are other reasons why Linux is the most preferred operating system today for embedded applications of consumer appliances.

    That's the reason why ethics offers end-to-end solutions on embedded systems, applications and technology using GNU\Linux and other open Real Time OS, an expertise we have been nurturing, expecting the market to turn as it as. ethics also consults towards development of new and existing product enhancements using Open Embedded Platforms that provides a good return on investments.
