1. UNIX to Linux. Reasons, Risks, Rewards.

2. REASONS FOR LINUX

3. 3 Industry Trends In 2009, IDC predicted UNIX market would go from $69 BN in 2008 towards $75 BN in 2013. In 2013, IDC predicted UNIX market would slide from $10 BN in 2012 towards $8.7 BN in 2017....What happened?

4. 4 Linux Today 90% of High-performance computing (HPC) market. 65% of smart mobile devices, 55% of embedded systems. 90% of OS migrations are from UNIX, more than 50% are landing on linux systems. 15-20% of organizations have some legacy UNIX misc apps.

5. HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADAPT IN FUTURE? Evolution of Work – Virtual lab environments – GitHub, Laravel Mobility and Internet of Everything – Security – LAMP Software Defined Everything – Virtual Compute Big Data – In memory databases (TimesTen, 12g) – Distributed (Hadoop, MapReduce, NoSQL) Trends in 2015
