Wednesday, August 08, 2007:  Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu
(ELCOT) in India is rolling out SUSE Linux Enterprise across 30,000
desktops and 1,880 servers in Tamil Nadu's schools. ELCOT itself has
migrated its entire IT infrastructure from Microsoft Windows to SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop from Novell.
"The open source software in SUSE Linux Enterprise is superb," said C.
Umashankar, managing director, ELCOT. "In addition, we estimate that
moving to Linux has reduced our general hardware costs by nearly 25
per cent. In the case of high-end servers, the savings could be as
much as 80 per cent."

"Even more important are the benefits for Tamil Nadu's students. There
is a growing trend towards the corporate adoption of Linux, both in
India and elsewhere, so it will be a real advantage in the job market
to have experience working with open source software. It gives us
tremendous freedom and choice," added Umashankar.

"The next-generation platform for the open enterprise, SUSE Linux
Enterprise is the best-engineered, lowest-cost and most interoperable
platform for enterprise computing, from the desktop to the data
centre," says Novell.
