Managing the Risks of Open Source Software

Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS, Servers and Server OS

Tags: os, middleware, database, linux, software

Overview The recent evolution of the telecommunications and IT markets has promoted the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the telecommunications industry. Increased competition in the telecommunications industry leads to the need to reduce the cost of telecommunications solutions. The necessity to cut time to market requires the use of mature, standard software. Telecommunications equipment manufacturers are shifting increasingly to the provision of services - leading to the replacement of proprietary, low-level software by standard solutions. The instability of software markets pushes users to select long-term solutions. Finally, the momentum surrounding FOSS has fueled the birth of a strong FOSS ecosystem that, a few years ago, was limited to the Linux operating system, but now covers technologies such as database or middleware.
