The FAA Saves $15 Million by Migrating to Linux

Posted by Zonk on from the new-hat-means-cheaper-bills dept.

Neopallium writes "Red Hat has announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) saved the federal government more than $15 million in datacenter operating and upgrading costs by migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The FAA executed a major systems migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in one-third of the original scheduled time and with 30 percent more operational efficiency than the previous system."

    Considering that Federal Government pisses away $15 million every two hours in Iraq, it hardly makes a dent.
