Technology Portfolio

We are here to enable you to harness the power of Open–Source and Open-Standards, within the context of today’s blended system solutions that often require a mix of enterprise, community Linux and proprietary software. There are over 300,000 active Open-Source technology products and over 300 Open-Source distributions and we are unable to list them all. Inevitably some are better than others, consequently we have carefully selected a range of proven, complementary and economic, technology solutions, that we are happy to endorse, as the Leaders in Linux. Enterprise and community based software technology covering all major technical categories.

However, if there is a particular Open-Source product or distribution of interest to you then do contact us, as it is likely that we will have had experience with these or similar, and will be able to provide them together with a free and informed view of their benefits and any issues around their implementation.

We can also advise and supply appropriate hardware solutions.

Our technology offering is designed to meet the needs of industry, commerce, and of the public sector. For the private sector we understand the drive to achieve sustainable competitive advantage through mission critical system capability, reliability, productivity, scalability, flexibility, security and more. We also recognise the important role that Open-Source and Open-Standards technology has to play in the Public Sector, and LinuxIT acts as a trusted advisor to an increasing number of Local and Central public sector bodies. In this we advise on how and where to deploy Open-Source and Open-Standards technology to deliver:

• System Performance, Stability and Scalability
• A Compliant and Supported IT environment
• Avoidance of vendor lock-in and Inoperability
• Reduction of Capital (CAPEX) and Operational (OPEX) expenditure

Open-Source Community Technology Solutions - Un-indemnified

Open-source community software solutions are not in competition with proprietary, or enterprise, software. It's more of a symbiotic relationship with the respective development models, with one benefiting the other as the advances secured through the so called 'cathedral' development approach adopted by proprietary software suppliers being picked up by the open-source community, using their so called 'bazaar' approach, and vice-versa. We have used our 12 year's of experience in Linux to carefully select this community software catalogue.

Are you interested in adopting community based Open-Source software but want to remove the potential risks involved? Contact us with your choice of software and we will check our Indemnified Software Register. In the event that the software is then you can select it with complete peace of mind. If not we will check the software against our indemnification criteria and advise you if we can cover it.

The LinuxIT Open–Source Software Indemnification Program - a world first.

LinuxIT has teamed up with a leading global insurance-based financial services company to pioneer a program to underwrite community based Open–Source software via our extensive verification process.

Based upon a LinuxIT Service Level Agreement (SLA) and an accredited technology catalogue, this unique program provides complete peace of mind for those wishing to embrace the benefits of adopting Open-Source software.

If the software doesn’t work as you expect the insurance will enable us to fix it, or replace it with software that does. Cover to the value of £5m is provided.

When you purchase support and indemnification this guarantees the performance of the Open-Source software against an SLA so that if the software doesn’t work as expected due to a bug or another problem then the insurance guarantees that it will be fixed or replaced with a technology that does, within an agreed timeframe. The insurance backing ensures that funds and resources are always available to meet the SLA.
