Enterprise Application Platform Modernization with Commercial Linux
Applications are at the heart of modern enterprises and organizations must constantly evolve their application strategy to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation. Their applications portfolio must be constantly infused with new generation applications that run in cloud environments, are delivered as micro-services, use open source technologies, and are increasingly platform (infrastructure) independent. For applications to be scalable and highly available, they need an underlying database management system like Microsoft SQL Server and a versatile operating system (OS) environment such as Linux®—as an ideal platform for consolidating applications and their respective data management stacks.
