 Our report Open Source Software: Case Studies Examining its Use - April
2003,  illustrates the diverse uses of open source software.  After
releasing Linux, Inc.: A Survey of Open Source Software - October 2002 , we
recognized a need to provide perspectives on the benefits and challenges
associated with open source software. Discussions with commercial,
government and non-profit organizations provided input into this case
studies report.

Linux:  It's Exciting, but Let's Keep it Boring too!
 
For Verisign's technology team, Linux is exciting, but they want to keep it
as basic as possible from a systems operations perspective. VeriSign
operates three large data centers along with other sites supporting the DNS
constellation and other operating divisions. Based on direct prototyping,
quality assurance testing, and production results, Linux has proved to be
reliable and stable. The firm uses RedHat, Inc's Advanced Server, with some
databases supported by Oracle Corp.'s' 8i and 9i offerings; along with other
Linux distributions to serve commodity Internet protocols.
 
Approximately 2000 1U, 2-CPU Pentium 3 systems have been deployed, with 1U
2-CPU Pentium 4 increasing in use as a result of their lower cost and solid
performance. The highest performing Linux systems used are 4-CPU 2GHz
designs, with prototyping taking place on 4 CPU Itanium II systems to assess
their use in high performance solutions. The open source systems management
solution, Nagios, is used to monitor the entire infrastructure.
