F500 Consulting Company
This company was an all MSFT shop for departmental serving. Due to security issues, cost and vendor lock in Linux was being evaluated for File, Print and proxy serving to replace the current Microsoft environment. While wanting to bring in Linux for these functions the companies' evaluation found that a lack of internal Linux skills was a barrier to adopting Linux Company wide for these departmental servers.
InterStructures was brought in solving the skills set problem and lowering their initial TCO for Linux by 35%. Linux administrators did the initial implementation and then the existing Windows staff configured and took over day-to-day management of the RedHat servers without any training!

Mid Market Packaging Manufacturer
This manufacturer with 12 locations worldwide evaluated Linux to replace Microsoft Server 2000 for File, Print, FTP, DNS, and DHCP. With multiple disparate locations, a lack of Linux skills and the need to integrate the Linux servers with Active Directory at each the InterStructures platform was brought in to help unify server management: Linux and Windows managed from one central management console and completely interoperable with Active Directory. InterStructures has been implemented and now Linux and windows servers are managed from the same console and interoperating with Active Directory and significantly lowering their Linux TCO and shortening the payback period for Linux.

Local Hospital
With a limited IT budget and increased security a concern the hospital turned to Linux to provide lower cost departmental and other servers while increasing uptime and security. The IT Manager was a Linux advocate but his staff consisted of all Windows administrators, and he did not have the budget to hire Linux engineers to manage his servers.
InterStructures solved his problems by allowing his existing Windows staff without any additional training to manage their Linux installation. The hospital estimated a 40% cost savings by using Linux with InterStructures.
