NYSE Moves to Linux 1

Submitted by blitzkrieg3
blitzkrieg3 writes "The New York Times is reporting on how Linux is "mature enough" for the New York Stock Exchange. They are using commodity x86 based Hewlett-Packard hardware and Linux in place of their traditional UNIX machines. From NYSE Euronext CIO Steve Rubinow:

We don't want to be closely aligned with proprietary Unix. No offense to HP-UX, but we feel the same way about [IBM's] AIX, and we feel the same way to some extent about Solaris
Other reasons cited for the switch were increased flexibility and lower cost."
