Conclusion
Enterprise Class
Enterprise class refers to applications that are designed to be
robust and scalable across a large organization. There are no firm
standards for what makes an application or platform enterprise
class, but enterprise class applications are generally:
Open and compatible with existing databases and tools
Customizable for the needs of specific departments
Powerful enough to scale up along with the needs of the business using it
Secure from outside threats and data leaks
Why cant SMBs use em?
High licensing costs
Huge implementation overheads
Expertise is limited and Exensive
Open Source

Open source software is software with source

code that anyone can inspect, modify, and
enhance.

challenges

Progressing towards software defined architecture
Major vendors are focused on developing products which are
software defined e.g:- Cisco Nexus, Brocade Vyatta, PaloAlto
virtual appliance to name a few
Most of em are adopting Open Source technologies
Open Source communities are the leaders in this approach
Linux and Open Source

Current trends in the Industry

Security & Stability
With explosion in data and ease of connectivity data security
has become a major concern
Linux as an OS is one of the most secure and stable OS
available
Most vendors are using Linux for their management software or
as core OS in their products
