Extend the life cycle and improve the performance of your valuable DataFlex applications by moving from your aging Unix systems to a contemporary Linux/Intel platform.

Businesses migrating to Linux from Solaris, AIX, and HP Unix environments can expect to benefit from lower-cost servers due to the wide availability of commodity Intel hardware. Business case studies continue to show that it is surprisingly easy and beneficial to switch from Unix to Linux. Savings made possible in hardware costs are compelling for many companies. The transition is relatively easy, given the similarity of the programming languages used for the two operating systems. Plus, many tools and solutions for Linux are available through the open source community.

"The great thing about DataFlex is its portability, flexibility, and longevity. We have been migrating from AIX and HP-UX platforms to Linux without any difficulty, and have successfully extended our legacy applications’ usefulness for several more years because of this. Choosing DataFlex as the application development environment to rely on has proven to be a very good investment."

Klaus Christensen, DFDS Transport Group

"Linux adoption is a no-brainer for companies who can run the same software on inexpensive Intel machines with Linux as they can on expensive Sun machines running Solaris."

Tim Landgrave, Tech Republic
