There was some talk where I work (I work for a medical research group) about migrating off of the SAS platform due to it's lack of support for Linux about a year and a half ago. One very interesting argument was brought up against migration which I hadn't even thought about. SAS is the only statistical analysis tool which was been tested in a US supreme court case. I was told that there may be legal liabilities if an organization uses an analysis tool other than SAS. Something to think about... How would an free software app stand in court? --- * views expressed are my own and do not necessary represent those of my employer
It's very significant for us. I am the sysadmin at the statistical office of a pediatric cancer research group collocated at the University of Florida. The Pediatric Oncology Group. We collect and analyze data from hospitals around the world participating in NCI sponsored pediatric clinical trials. We perform all of our data collection with Linux servers. We have one IBM AIX box which is used for SAS analysis and 12 Linux servers for everything else. We're looking forward to making the transition to homogeneous servers (linux).
