UNIX for your business?

Article Abstract:

Businesses can improve cost-effectiveness through the use of the UNIX operating system. UNIX, a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system, has the ability to share resources, such as processors, disks, and printers. UNIX eliminates the possibility of having to use proprietary systems or systems that are inflexible. One of the useful features of UNIX is its ability to redirect the output of one program as input into another one, while running the programs simultaneously. Businesses that are considering the use of UNIX should make sure that their supplier provides adequate support.
