Linux is:
Cost-effective
We can implement a complete Linux driven network for a fraction of the software licence cost that you would have to pay if you were to use any other alternative. We can demonstrate how, for a network even as small as 5 users, we can save you over £10,000 in software licence fees. Extend to twenty users and the savings exceed £20,000.
Fully-featured
Linux server software offers everything in one package needed to create a fully-featured network. The Linux desktop offers an attractive modern Graphical User Interface together with OpenOffice applications that can read, write and create files from the MS Office(TM) suite.
Not a licence fee trap
With some software you can end up in a software licence trap - you have a computer running software that you've already paid for but it needs to be replaced. The replacement computer will only run a newer version of the operating system and won't run your old software so you face buying a new licence all over again. Why should you have to? You've already bought a licence and should be able to use it again! With Linux you won't find tie-ins like this.
Fast
Linux is extremely fast. We can demonstrate applications that run happily on Linux that struggle on other operating systems.
Robust
Some operating systems contain faults that mean the performance of your servers gradually degrades until they crash completely. To avoid this many servers need to be re-booted on a regular basis. Linux robustness is legendary - performance never degrades due to faults and you'll never have to re-boot your servers to improve performance.
Secure
Linux comes with all of the major security features and compliances as standard. It includes a firewall as standard and there is a myriad of add-on packages to further increase security.
