| First National Bank of Omaha throws Sun out for Linux |
|---|
First National Bank of Omaha said this week that it's nearing completion of a complete changeout of its distributed server infrastructure for a mainframe and blade-server architecture based on Linux. While only 80% complete, the move is already expected to save the company US$1.8 million this year in operating expenses and another US$9.6 million through 2011.
The bank expects to complete the project by April and said much of the savings will come from a reduction in the number of systems engineers from 24 to eight.
