Key reasons for Linux becoming a popular choice include the need for cost reduction, increasing blade server deployments, and the move toward server virtualization and consolidation.

One of the key challenges for IT administrators deploying Linux solutions in the datacenter is the assortment of component solutions that need to be integrated for seamless implementations. These component solutions include hardware, software drivers, management software, high availability software, configuration and troubleshooting tools, and solutions for emerging technologies such as virtualization.
