Linux Systems and Servers

What can Linux do for your business?

The Linux operating system presents several potential benefits for the small or mid-size business. Linux is frequently promoted as “free” software. This is true, inasmuch as a business doesn’t need to pay licensing fees to a software company to use Linux.

Linux servers have earned a reputation for stability, scalability, and reliability. The typical small or mid-size business can reap tremendous benefits from using linux-based servers instead of a Windows platform.

Some of the things Linux can provide for your business include:

• Secure file sharing, both for small teams and across the enterprise - works seamlessly with Windows client computers
• Robust, bullet-proof email for internal and external users, including industrial-strength spam filtering - works seamlessly with Windows clients, including Outlook or Outlook Express
• Secure remote access without per-user licensing costs, and without needing to purchase special client software - works seamlessly with remote Windows clients
• Instant messaging - self-contained internal instant communications, without using public services such as AIM or MSN Messenger
• Databases and custom applications - run custom applications based on your own Linux server - your client computers need only a web browser
• Intranets and Extranets - securely share information with internal users, and your vendors, clients, and business partners

The speed, stability, and low cost of Linux makes it an ideal choice for many small and mid-sized businesses.

The most important requirement for any deployment is having a skilled, experienced consulting team to handle the project. Creating a secure and stable environment requires expertise, and the typical small or mid-size business may have difficulty finding the quality consultants required for this type of endeavor. Linux has the ability to strike fear into the hearts of windows “IT guys” because it does not have a simple point-and-click configuration for everything, and because Linux servers operate in a fundamentally different way than Windows servers.

With the right support, your business can save thousands of dollars by deploying Linux servers instead of commercial servers which require per-server and per-user licenses.
