Wall Street Gaining Respect for Linux. One of the primary reasons financial service companies have adopted the Linux operating system is the savings it has brought, IT executives from Wall Street firms said at a panel at LinuxWorld here this week. [Technology News from eWEEK and Ziff Davis]
It sounds like people are starting to realize the TCO with Linux is lower than Windows due to stability. However, the article makes reference to Linux having to provide more than stability to truly become mainstream. People are looking for interoperability with Windows, AIX, Solaris, etc.
The person in the article mentions compatibility with Active Directory, and how that's not there for Linux. I suppose that the gentleman from JP Morgan has never heard of LDAP. Either that, or he doesn't realize that Active Directory can be treated like an LDAP server. Perhaps he doesn't even realize there are other directory technologies.
