The Swedish Armed Forces are to migrate their Windows NT
servers toRed Hat Enterprise
Linux platforms.
The FMLOG Servicedesk, the IT department of the Swedish Armed
Forces, will be able to offer Red Hat Enterprise Linux solutions to
any division or branch of the military.
Jonna Lidman of the Swedish Armed Forces' headquarters, said,
“There has been a demand for Linux within the Swedish Armed Forces
for quite some time, which is why we've now decided to enter this
deal.
“The primary reasons for us choosing Red Hat Enterprise Linux
were the product lifecycle as well as Red Hat's position as the
leading open source provider.
“What also affected the decision was the fact that Red Hat
Enterprise Linux was fairly easy to migrate and is compatible with
our in-house-developed programs.”
