Enterprise Application Platform Modernization with Commercial Linux

Applications are at the heart of modern enterprises. Organizations must constantly evolve their application strategy to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation. Their application portfolios must be constantly infused with new generation applications that run in cloud environments, are delivered as microservices, use open source technologies, and are increasingly platform (infrastructure) independent. For applications to be scalable and highly available, they need an underlying database management system, like Microsoft SQL Server, and a versatile operating system (OS) environment, such as Linux®, as an ideal platform for consolidating applications and their respective data management stacks.

IDC and Red Hat partner up in this session to discuss industry insights and information that will demonstrate why Linux is the adopted choice for hosting Microsoft SQL Server. Is your Microsoft SQL Server database running on an OS that allows you to modernize with a strong security presence? Join us as IDC and Red Hat take a more comprehensive look at the different values organizations see by running their Microsoft SQL Server database on Linux - specifically Red Hat ®Enterprise Linux.

In this webinar we’ll discuss:

• How organizations can lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) with Microsoft SQL Server on Linux
• Giving developers more options with application development on Linux
• Why business agility, support, and security are paramount when choosing a Linux distribution
• How Red Hat can provide a sound option for CentOS Linux customers that need to migrate their Microsoft SQL Server instances onto another Linux platform
