For many of us in the technology world, Linux represents the concept of open collaboration. The open-source movement revolutionized IT by creating enduring models for technological innovation. Today, IT managers who are expected to leverage innovative solutions that deliver competitive advantage are also increasingly squeezed by pressure to reduce data center costs. Can the open model that Linux fostered address these competing pressures? Randy Allen will discuss the implications of an open and collaborative approach to technology innovation, using industry examples to demonstrate how IT managers today can best benefit by open vendor approaches to developing innovative data center solutions.
