The italian military is going to be the european administration to make the largest transition to Open Source software. During the next four years, more than 100.000 PCs will migrate to LibreOffice as part of LibreDifesa project, which will save 26 to 29 millon euros to italian administration.
The main reasons for the military to perform this move are interoperability and long-term accesibility of documents and information. The army of this country is standardising on the Open Document Format (ODF) and is advising its users to use free fonts.
In addition, they are considering the use of Linux for workstations and they are testing Zimbra for email, calendars, and collaboration suite.

It is a regulation characterized by significant fines for non-compliance since its implementation in 2018.
Virtualization comes with a wide range of benefits for organizations. It helps cut IT costs and reduces downtime while increasing efficiency and productivity. It also increases the resiliency of networks, primarily when disasters occur, and promotes more green-friendly operations.
