M2 PRESSWIRE-25 September 2002-LINUXIT: LinuxIT announces solutions for government and public sector (C)1994-2002 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
RDATE:09252002
LinuxIT has today announced the availability of Linux and Open Source solutions tailored to meet the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) guidelines in the U.K.
The recent guidelines published by the OGC gives justification for the adoption of Open Source Software in the public Sector. Guidelines and advice are always easier to give than implement but where can organizations and public bodies find companies to help and who can advise and help them along the `Open Road`?
LinuxIT is the leading Independent provider of Open Source solutions whose staff have been implementing mission critical applications in the private sector since 1998. These solutions have been reviewed to meet the requirements of the public sector, where the key criteria for purchase are value for money and open standards.
Peter Dawes, Sales Director commented " There are many companies that can provide a software package or Linux operating system but few that actually know how to integrate these into a viable solution that services the public or private sector. This is where LinuxIT`s key expertise has been used to create the OSS Solutions. Our independence but close alliances with the software publishers help us meet our aim to help our customers make sense of the Open Source world and implement solutions that work." OSS-Solutions from LinuxIT have all been designed to save costs across the entire lifecycle, from implementation through cost of maintenance.
They can be implemented in part to service the needs of a particular function or department as well as a complete infrastructure review.
The component OSS-Solutions are designed for the following business processes;
Consolidation - servers often proliferate for back office processes with each new application mandating new machines. The LinuxIT consolidation program is designed to service the diverse requirements of file/print/email/database from a reduced number of servers. By taking advantage of the machine efficiency of Linux, reduced licensing costs and overhead of support and maintenance The LinuxIT consolidation program can significantly cut the running costs of the systems.
Migration - Many applications running on Unix and Microsoft Operating Systems can be replaced by a LinuxIT system. The increased efficiency means less hardware costs, reduced software licensing and a decrease in the maintenance and support costs.
Desktops - Replacement of desktop software with viable alternatives that provide the functionality of a familiar interface and office packages. The LinuxIT Desktop solution allows users to focus on working rather than the operations of the machine.
Security - Networks are often the subject of inappropriate use both from the internet as well as from internal staff. The LinuxIT Security Solution provides full time monitoring of your networks, reporting on vulnerabilities and abuses across all operating systems and all platforms.
