Betting on open source

摘要

As a developer of internet-based wagering systems and networked solutions for gaming machines, eBet Ltd. is ed to gambling. So it should come as no surprise that when the company needed an affordable integrated security solution, it placed its bets on open source. Micah Lloyd, eBet's systems administrator, is looking to open source to secure his network while helping him cut costs and avoid vendor lock-in. The Linux-based integrated security solution he deployed cost one-third of what a proprietary solution would have cost, said Lloyd, in Carlsbad, Cailf.
