Linux Servers Can Do a Lot For Your Business
Linux is an operating system, like Mac OS X or Windows, that makes an exceptional base for servers. It’s very stable, fast, and secure. There are programs that run on it that will do almost anything, from serving files, to filtering e-mail, to backing up your network.
And it’s free. You don’t have to figure out byzantine license agreements, buy expensive CAL’s for this and seats for that. You get reliable and supported software that makes your business run better without breaking the bank.
Using generally available PC components, we build Linux servers that are fault tolerant, capacious, and expandable. You don’t have to worry about running out of room in six months. Do you have a particular brand of server you like? Linux will run on that too.
It’s free, it’s powerful, and it runs on moderately priced hardware. But what can it do for your business?
