IBM promotes Linux adoption in Kazakhstan
IBM's new Linux innovation centre in Astana, Kazakhstan aims to promote the development and adoption of open standards and open source software by business and government organisations
"Like many emerging markets, Kazakhstan faces the ambitious task of growing and enhancing its IT infrastructure very fast to match the demands of a new economy," said Inna Kuznetsova, vice president of systems software, marketing and sales enablement.
"Using open source and standards-based computing, Kazakhstan can avoid the pitfalls of an expensive, proprietary infrastructure and build a more flexible IT foundation to expedite economic development. The Linux centre will deliver educational and practical resources to bolster open source adoption and spur innovation," she added.
