Microsoft Uses Open Source Project To Extend Management To Linux
May 10, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Open Source Software
From the Interesting Headline dept.:
Management software is one category where Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) has never quite measured up to competitors. Redmond hopes to change that with an unlikely weapon: using code from the OpenPegasus project to extend its System Center suite to Linux and Unix environments.
Cross-platform management is the No. 1 customer request for System Center, and using open source code to get there represents recognition by Microsoft that it's far from a Windows-only world. It's also a significant move in the company's bid to be seen as a legitimate top-tier choice for enterprise management.
