For the network and sysadmin, the presence in the world of Linux servers are not new. Most Internet servers actually running Linux-based server systems. However, many also sysadmin and network admin-especially in Indonesia, which has been totally use the Windows Server system without ever touching or want to know about Linux server lifetime.
Actually, what is the importance of the Linux server if the Windows Server-based system has been running as expected. Is not there a byword among the admin: "if it Is not broken, do not fix it". If there is no evidence of a real problem, and fixing the "problem" Would not effectively improv the system, then do not waste time and energy (yours or anybody else's) Trying to fix it.
Here are some reasons why Windows Server Admin can benefit from the existence of the Linux operating system, though not totally use it to replace Windows server:
1. Emergency Rescue. Linux could become the savior of data thanks to its ability to run on the LiveCD mode and running on the system memory (CD can be removed). LiveCD that there is much that has been equipped with anti-virus tools (plus the ability to update definition in life, partition tools, FTP client, SSH + Rsync backup and restore tools, burning and the ability of connection to the Internet simultaneously. Windows do exist that can run on LiveCD mode, but from testing I do, its function is not much that can be provided by a Linux LiveCD.
Examples of rescue capability is if there is an infected Windows computer virus heavyweight. Let alone to be able to run anti-virus, just to boot the computer just running slow as a snail. Not to mention the ability of the virus that can be resident, so remove the virus that is active as possible and if can not be deleted, the virus can automatically create a clone of himself.
A more elegant option is to save existing data and then do a total format. We could move the infected hard drive into another Windows computer to be scanned but in addition to bother, there is the risk of a clean Windows viruses even so polluted.
In this position, Linux can be used to save data of Windows, either to be saved to another hard disk, into the CD / DVD burning process, to USB or to a network data storage.
2. Reduced License Fees. If still in doubt use a Linux system to replace Windows servers, we could try a Linux system to replace several functions that had been managed by Windows Server, and Linux solutions to these problems have been very effective and efficient, for example to backup servers, file servers, mail servers , proxy servers, FTP servers, web servers and others. The value may not be too significant savings, but that obviously is no longer any cost to Client Access License or a license sistem.Jika've never used Linux at all, try just a few services that easily configured, while gradually trying to figure out the power of Linux.
3. Protected Windows Systems. Given the structure and mechanism of the Linux system that is more resistant (either because they adhere to the pattern of file access authorization system), Linux can be used as front-end servers that deal with the internet, for example mail server Linux can be used as buffer media or front-end mail server the published exit, while the mail server into the back-end Windows for internal use. As another example, the Linux server can be a media gateway for traffic to access the data out and get into the system environment
4. Media Localisation Infected Data. If no data is contaminated / infected with a virus, store them on shared folder / disk-based Windows as well as maintain the virus to remain active. If no data are still contaminated with the virus and have not been cleaned, we can use a Linux system as a data storage location. Because most viruses can only run on Windows systems, the virus will be paralyzed for being in the Linux environment. We even can easily remove the virus if you open a file in Linux environment
5. Server Virtualization for Windows. If you want a Windows system easy and fast to backup and restore, we can use the system as a host-based Linux server virtualization. Hypervisor Xen, KVM, VirtualBox or VMWare can be used to run Windows on Linux systems using virtual server scheme. This scheme provides at least two advantages, namely host resistance as well as facilitate the backup and restore process can be automated
Similarly, some advantages that can be quoted if you want to know why an Admin of Windows that system fine should look or move to a Linux system. If there are other views or suggestions related to the above items please discuss via the comments page.
Please understand that I am not saying one is better operating system than any other operating system. In my opinion, a good admin should be able to keep the system running properly managed, regardless of operating system used. I limit myself to not engage in polemics zealots operating system. That article explained the benefits of the use of Linux and komparasinya against Windows, it's because my blog title and tagline is Migrating Windows Linux and not vice versa
