| Oil firm standardises on Linux OS |
|---|
Statoil, Norway's largest oil company, has made a 50% cost saving by migrating from proprietary Unix operating systems to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The oil and gas firm, which has operations in 29 countries, had been running seven versions of Unix as well as Windows. Now 70% of Statoil's enterprise applications are running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the number of Unix variations deployed has dropped from seven to four.
