Hosting Support

Your web server is the hub of your business. It hosts your client's sites, it markets your company, it is a 24/7 advertising portal for your enterprise. It needs to be fast, efficient and on... all of the time. Uptime is critical, downtime is not acceptable. After all, you would not accept excuses for downtime from your upstream provider..
Your clients rely on you. You maintain their professional reputation online. You route their email, make sure that it is virus and spam free. And these systems have to work every minute of the day. Every time it doesn't, your reputation is in jeopardy. The clients that you are trying to win may consider that extra 1% downtime unacceptable.

What does it take to achieve this? A team of professional Linux System Administrators watching over a cluster of redundant servers ready to jump? Does it involve investing half of the business income back into internal training?

About Open Source Software

No matter what kind of business you're in, you are almost certainly dependant on modern software. From Microsoft, to Sage, to Goldmine, these solutions help you with the day-to-day running of your enterprise. Occasionally you may be forced to change vendors, applications and methods in order to accommodate improved working practices or for other reasons entirely. But one thing is constant; software is expensive. If your business has been dependant on software for a number of years, you will have probably noticed the rise in costs and management. In recent years, commercial software vendors have devised elaborate licensing schemes based on everything from individuals, to workstations, to usage, to sites, to organizations, to connections, and beyond. Licensing schemes have in some cases conditioned the environment for software producers to take advantage of vendor lock-in tactics. This can be difficult and costly to get away from. Quite often this results in a dissatisfaction with the software that runs your enterprise! If you purchase a commercial application, you become reliant on a single company to solve your problems and maintain the software.

With Linux and other open source software, there are no licensing fees. You don’t need to pay for extra seats—no cost to make copies and run multiple servers, and no fee differentials for high-end enterprise uses as opposed to simple desktops. It costs nothing to obtain and nothing to share. The GNU GPL under which Linux is protected specifically states, "You have the freedom to distribute copies of free software." This single fact could be worth significant savings to your organization. Eliminate the cost of an operating system for every desktop and every server and you could cut your budget considerably. Add to it an office productivity suite for every desktop and you gain even more.

The only thing that you miss out on is support, and this is where OS Office can help...

The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in the acceptance of Linux as a mainstream computing platform, one that is now deemed enterprise-ready by industry analysis and businesses alike. Though many organizations are already running Linux as email, Web, or file servers, an increasing number are bringing Linux into the data centre and onto their corporate desktop environments.
There are several factors adding to this migration from proprietary operating systems to Linux. Cost (including acquisitions, licensing, and ongoing support) is the primary consideration. But there are other key drivers as well such as growing availability of vendor applications, software support for Linux on more computer architectures, and the costs of forced upgrades by Microsoft.

Where does deploying Linux and Open Source make sense? Have crashes, viruses, DoS attacks, and headaches gotten out of control? Have you had it with Windows and you want to switch to Linux? What about the total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI) story? How do you prepare a business case tailored for Linux? How do you develop Open Source procurement and risk mitigation guidelines? Do you plan for a Linux server or desktop deployment? We can help you to answer theses questions and many more.
