Five Reasons to Migrate

If your hardware roadmap is uncertain, make the move. You need better visibility. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux you get a breadth of system offerings on a single platform with a clear roadmap.

If you need to get the most from packaged software, switching is smarter. It's the right longterm decision. When your business needs the latest features from your ERP vendor, or wants to pilot social networking, deploy on a platform your vendor knows, supports, and will continue to support.

If you question your vendor's stability or viability, choose a platform with a future. How can you manage with confidence if your vendor is unstable, unpredictable, and uncommitted? There's nothing more disruptive than to be forced into a platform decision because your vendor no longer exists.

If you have increased performance and capacity demands, it's time to migrate. Not only has the rate of improvement in industry standard servers caught up to that of RISC platforms, it has surpassed it. Check the scoreboard. Red Hat Enterprise Linux has the leading scores on SpecWeb, SpecJBB, and over 1.2M transactions per second on TPC-C on multi-core x86 servers.

If cost and budget pressures are increasing, choose a platform your CFO will love. Red Hat Enterprise Linux lowers capital and operational expenses, reduces administration costs, and offers a flexible subscription model that eliminates vendor lock-in.
