Open Source Community Technology Solutions

Open Source Community Technology Solutions

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.

Authentication

The process by which a system verifies the identity of a User who wishes to access it. Since Access Control is normally based on the identity of the User who requests access to a resource, authentication is essential to ensure effective Security. Our technology offering provides a range of proven authentication options.

Clustering

Multiple servers that are linked together in order to handle variable workloads or to provide continued operation in the event one fails. Each computer may be a multiprocessor system itself. Our technology offering provides a comprehensive range of proven clustering solutions.

Communications

Create communications servers to power IP PBX systems, VoIP gateways, conference servers and more. Also open-source web conferencing systems to deliver an integrated solution that runs on mac, unix, or PC computers. And open-source e-portfolio systems to create a user centred environment with a permissions framework that enables different views of an e-portfolio to be easily managed. Our technology offering includes a range of proven communication management solutions.

Content Management

Enables a large number of people to contribute to and share stored data, control access to data, based on user roles, aid in easy storage and retrieval of data, reduce repetitive duplicate input, improve the ease of report writing and improve communication between users. Our technology offering includes a range of proven content management solutions.

Data Availability

Ensures that data continues to be available at a required level of performance in situations ranging from normal through to "disastrous." In general, data availability is achieved through redundancy involving where the data is stored and how it can be reached. Our technology offering includes a range of proven data availability solutions.

Education

Embraces centrally supported virtual learning environments (VLE) used to support and enhance teaching, learning and research and also social networking engines, that can deliver the building blocks that schools, universities and associations need to create their own fully-featured social networks and applications. Our technology offering includes a range of proven education solutions.

Load Balancer

A technique to distribute workload evenly across two or more computers, network links, CPUs, hard drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilisation, maximise throughput, minimise response time, and avoid overload. Our technology offering includes a range of proven load balancing solutions.

Mail Server

For businesses, service providers, and email hosters looking to reduce email costs while still providing full Outlook support solutions such as Scalix can provide an extremely stable, linux-based groupware server that can be used alongside or instead of Exchange. Web based solutions are also available. Our technology offering includes a range of proven mail server solutions.

Operating Systems

Common features include process management, memory management, virtual file system, device drivers, networking, security and graphical user interfaces. Many system managers are migrating from Unix or proprietary software based systems to the Open-Source based systems that we provide to take advantage of improved system reliability, scalability, interoperability and economy. Good examples are Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell SUSE.

Security

Today's IT management and security solutions need to address challenges and opportunities at a physical, virtual and cloud computing level. With this in mind we have compiled a comprehensive family of complementary software solutions - to meet every need. Our technology offering includes a range of proven security solutions.

Systems Management and Monitoring

Technology to assist in the following: hardware inventories, server availability monitoring and metrics, software inventory and installation, Anti-virus and anti-malware management, user's activities monitoring, capacity monitoring, security management, storage management, network capacity and utilization monitoring and anti-manipulation management. Our technology offering includes a range of proven systems management and monitoring solutions.

Virtualization

Whether you are looking for Virtualization for Servers, as an end-to-end virtualization solution designed to enable pervasive data-centre virtualization, and significantly enhance capital and operational efficiency. Or Virtualization for Desktops, complete desktop environments hosted as virtual desktops on servers located in a centralised data-centre with users connected to these virtual desktops using either inexpensive thin clients or repurposed PCs - we can provide the software and support you need. Our technology offering includes a range of virtualization solutions.

Web Frameworks

Technology designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications and web services. Alleviates the overhead associated with common activities performed in Web development ie database access, templating frameworks, session management, and code reuse. Our technology offering includes a range of proven solutions.
