Open source technology
Kassandra Rouse discusses open source technology and its benefits for organizations. The most commonly used operating systems are Itron, Windows, and various open source specifications from TRON. The most popular web servers are Apache, which has been at the top for over 17 years, and the open source Nginx, which is growing in popularity. Open source tools are programs for specific tasks that have openly published source code allowing for modifications. Benefits include improving code, free changes, and compatibility across servers, while potential conflicts include limited server compatibility and less security than closed codes. Open source is suitable for organizations due to flexibility, compatibility, low costs, and allowing for growth.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Let’s hear a little about me, so you can better understand my qualifications. I am a full time student at Sanford-Brown University, currently studying Web Design and Development. In this course work I learn about open source technology in both the benefits and conflicts it might create. I am a stay at home mother, so I’m very use to multi-tasking and thinking on my feet. Being a mother we have to know what works best for different situations. For example, I have to know which pattern of night time routine I should use to ensure my daughter goes to bed quickly and sleeps well all night. I am also a hard worker. I know what it’s like to have multiple people counting on you. I also know how important it is for a plan to go smoothly and to function at full capacity. So you can trust that any suggestions come with plenty of thought behind them for what is best for you and your company.
