The Gap Inc., the company that owns a variety of clothiers (The Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy), has revamped its entire system using Red Hat Linux, presumably because they realized using Windows for e-Commerce is like using a Honda Civic as a tank. According to the Red Hat website:
The ROI (return on investment) of the Red Hat-Likewise solution is hundreds of thousands of dollars annually once you add the hardware and software savings to the reduced costs of manually auditing our systems. Likewise Enterprise’s compliance enhancements allowed us to expand our use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,” said Jeff Arcuri, senior manager, IT for Gap Inc. Direct.
