Enterprise Management Consulting

Oxfordshire Linux User Group

Computing Laboratory Lecture Theatre

Sunday 6th June 1999, 6.30pm

Enterprise Management Consulting began by providing consultancy to blue chip clients - JP Morgan, Andersen Consulting, CSC - mostly as trading floor support. Then early last year they saw that Linux was rapidly capable of becoming a "one size fits all" operating system and last September they became Red Hat commercial support partners.

Since then they've been bending everyone's ear about Linux and convincing their existing customers to convert from NT or Novell to Linux. They currently support around 30 commercial Linux sites across the UK.

EMC will speak about some of the conversions that they have done and also more broadly about the future available directions for Linux - ie. clustering and High Availability, NDS and Global File Systems.

The entrance to Comlab is from Parks Road and maps can be found at: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/ox/maps.html

The following monthly meeting will be on Sunday 4th July when Andrew Jackson will demonstrate VMware.
