“eShare…a leading provider of unified web and telephony
customer communication solutions, announced its support of the
Linux operating system for its web-based communication products.
According to an April 1999 survey conducted by the Internet
Operating System Counter, Linux ran on approximately 31% of the
Internet servers polled, more than any other single operating
system.”
“A recent International Data Corporation (IDC) report stated
that the use of Linux grew at an annual rate of 181% in 1998. The
same report projected that the use of Linux will grow faster than
the use of any other operating system through 2003.”
“The free, open source platform of Red Hat Inc.’s Linux software
is gaining popularity among many corporate IT departments, and its
high throughput, performance and scalability have resulted in
explosive growth,” said Bradley Birnbaum, chief technology officer,
eShare Technologies. “eShare recognized the incredible
potential of Linux in its early stages and has since been
implementing the Linux platform into its suite of web-based
communication solutions.“
