Which industry giants are using the Linux operating system?

Linux is everywhere. Which major companies are using the Linux operating system?

Amazon

Amazon is a place that most people like to buy books. Almost every business of Amazon.com, a large online retailer, is supported by Linux. Since turning to Linux, Amazon has saved millions of dollars in technical infrastructure costs. In a report submitted to the securities and Management Board, Amazon said that the key to saving money was to "use cheap basic technical architecture to introduce a Linux-based technical platform, the oversupply of the market also reduces the overall cost of data and unlimited communication services."

However, a spokesman for Amazon declined to disclose the details of its use of the Linux operating system and the operating software replaced by the operating system and the technical cost saved by the company.

In any case, it is a fact that Linux helps Amazon save costs.

IBM

IBM is one of the biggest Linux supporters.

In May 2013, IBM established the world's first IBMPower SystemsLinux center, which will gather IBM's leading Power Systems enterprise-level platform technology and expert resources, RedHat and SUSE's Linux expertise, and Partner solutions and resources. In the end, it will promote the further development of Linux in the Chinese market.

In September 2013, IBM announced at the Linux Foundation's LinuxCon conference that it would invest $1 billion in Linux and other open-source technologies for its Power servers over the next four or five years.

Google

Yes, the most popular Web search engine is Linux, because it is the most effective cost solution. Google's Sergey Brin once said this.

At that time, he and Larry Page received a doctorate in computer science from Stanford University. Machines from various manufacturers are around, such as HP, Sun, Alphas, and Intel.

These computers run Linux, so Larry and Sergey have accumulated a lot of experience on the Linux platform. As far as I know, Google has created its own version of Ubuntu, known as Goobuntu, based on the LTS version.

Google has its own personalized Ubuntu release, which is of great significance to Linux and open-source communities.

McDonald's
