Enterprises across industries know they must modernize antiquated architectures and implement significantly more future-proof, next-generation solutions to succeed. Delaying inevitable digital transformations and cloud migrations only cause more long-term challenges, and organizations embracing change now gain a competitive foothold. Open source software continues to see markedly increased traction as a long-term answer for enterprise IT strategy – mature, community-backed solutions decrease development costs, provide more agility and innovation potential, and offer security rooted in transparent code that is overseen by technologists across many organizations (not just one vendor). Rising open source adoption in the enterprise is also enabling more experimentation without requiring long-term investments demanded by proprietary counterparts. At the same time, today’s customer-centric applications must deliver absolute reliability, scale, performance, and security – and battle-tested open source solutions are well-matched to enable today’s businesses to adopt modernized cloud-based infrastructures that support agile processes, eliminate single points of failure, and significantly reduce downtime.
