This is nothing more than a buzz word (term?) used to attract the attention of Cx0s.
Simple.
" " On the way home from the meeting last night there was a discussion of " desktop computing in a business environment using GNU/Linux. " " At one point I said that a certain component of a proprietary software is " not robust enough for enterprise level demands. I was corrected by being " told it was a buzzword, which to a certain extent I agree with. It got me " thinking that I didnt have a handle on what this word implies. Which I " think is a reflection that there is not any quantitive analysis to give this " buzzphrase meaning. " I would like to try to bring some kind of meaningful definition to this " phrase or redefine it. So I have a few questions. " " What would define enterprise level computing? " Is it the amount of CPU cycles a workstations uses? " How does the type or amount of applications a workstation runs play a role? " How do the amounts of networked computers play a role in this definition? " How does the implementation of a server play a role in this? " How does network load play a role in this? " " A home business can have two computers and maybe a server, they can have all " the applications they need on those machines. But system and network load " may be inconsequential in comparison to even a small corporation. Still the " small business' existence may rely wholly on this handful of networked " computers. " " Certainly the cost of purchasing and licensing proprietary software plays a " role in the perception of 'enterprise level' computing.
