Operating Systems

Laying a solid foundation with the right operating system.

An operating system is the essential software that connects hardware, applications and users, shaping the overall experience and functionality. Businesses rely on OS platforms to power PCs, mobile devices and servers—each with distinct requirements. Our product managers can help you select the ideal OS for your specific needs.

 

Choosing the right OS for your business.

Many companies rely on Microsoft Windows for their business operations, while macOS on Apple hardware is also a widely used choice. In server environments, organisations typically opt for Windows or Linux, depending on their infrastructure and operational requirements. Linux is widely used for cloud computing and virtualisation, while Windows is preferred when straightforward rights management is a priority. The two platforms also differ in how they handle scripts and databases. Not sure which OS best fits your hardware and software needs? We’ll work with you to find the optimal setup for your business.
