City Chooses Windows Server Over Linux to Minimize Risk and Costs

Category: Software and Web Development, Servers and Server OS

Tags: os, windows server, linux, infrastructure

Overview For the City of Lake Oswego, providing secure, reliable, cost-effective services to city employees and residents is a top priority when choosing technologies - and a reason for its cautious approach to change. When the time came to replace Novell NetWare, Lake Oswego chose to standardize on Windows Server instead of deploying Linux because it felt that the Microsoft operating system was more cost-effective and would allow the city to avoid unnecessary risk. Today, the city has a robust, easily supported technology infrastructure that enables strong reliability and security and that can be managed with a single skill set.
