IBM 4690 Environment for Linux (4690EL) enables retailers to take advantage of the Linux environment by migrating their existing 4690 environments step-by-step, at their chosen pace. Retailers can enjoy the advantages of the Linux environment as well as consolidate operating systems on Linux servers—without requiring the use of a new application which would result in significant retraining of employees.
Linux in retail can provide bulletproof security and the ability to support today’s advanced applications—all while lowering operational costs. The Linux environment offers a reliable infrastructure that delivers just the flexibility you need to operate, expand, integrate and reduce costs between your stores and enterprise.
