Stock trader's Linux fairy tale thrives

Back in the mid-1990s, Automated Trading Desk, a financial services and stock trading company in Mount Pleasant, S.C., switched to Linux on almost of its servers and desktops and began living happily ever after.

In the new millennium, however, the fairy tale took a bad turn, as support and product quality from ATD's Linux hardware vendor began to wither. As plot twists would have it, the vendor faltered just when ATD needed top-flight reliability and performance more than ever.

To turn that around, ATD went with a new vendor and a new hardware platform, and kept the fairy tale from turning tragic.
