Telstra goes open-source
Michael Sainsbury and Kelly Mills
September 2, 2003
TELSTRA, Australia's largest technology company, has nailed its colours firmly
to the mast of open source software, creating a potential nightmare for
Microsoft and sending shivers through a range of traditional platform providers.
Under Project Firefly, Telstra switched on a desktop trial in March using two
flavours of Linux and a Citrix-based Windows system, aimed at shifting up to
85 per cent of its computing desktops to thin-client technology.
Telstra chief information officer Jeff Smith said he was determined to end a
history of internal duplication and technology incompatibility by deploying
open-source software right across the telecoms giant, which spends $1.5
billion each year on information technology. He aims to slice this cost in
half within three years.
"I would see a big movement from Windows and Unix to Linux," Mr Smith said.
"One of the by-products of Linux having its heritage in Unix is that it is a
very stable operating system."
