Centrelink to Migrate 450 Windows Systems to Linux

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

Tags: centrelink, ethernet, intel, open source, os, solaris, linux, infrastructure, data

Overview Centrelink infrastructure planner said the bulk of the department's infrastructure consists of about 1400 Intel servers and 300 Sun servers, with the Intel systems "Roughly" split between Windows and NetWare. The company wanted to achieve some shifting of workload, to move stuff off the Windows environment, off the NetWare environment, off the Solaris environment, and on to Linux. They found that getting data out of the IBM mainframe via Ethernet and open communications adapter is just too slow. As part of a $312 million infrastructure refresh project, Centrelink will migrate at least 450 Windows servers over to Linux and join the small number of enterprises running the open source operating system on the mainframe.
