Last Wednesday, Linden Labs releasing an enterprise version of Second life that allows a company to have the database on their own server and behind their firewall.

Linden Labs is frozen in the pre-OS past. They are already way behind in the VR technology and their unwillingness to open-source their project (save for very limited segments, like the viewer) will be their doom.
