The U.S. government could save billions of dollars by moving to more open-source software, cloud computing and virtualization, a recent study suggests.
Over three years, the potential savings would be $3.7 billion for using open-source software, $13.3 billion for using virtualization technologies, and $6.6 billion from cloud computing or software as a service, the study said. It was published by MeriTalk, an online community about IT and public policy; Red Hat Inc., an open-source software vendor; and DLT Solutions Inc., a value-added reseller of Red Hat and other IT products.
