Custom Linux Distributions
Independant Software Vendors (ISVs), Application Service Providers
(ASPs), Value Added Resellers (VARs), and others who are basing products
and services on Linux, want to have control over as much of the
Operating System environment as possible. This allows you to install
only the packages that are required for your software or service to run
effectively.
Custom Distribution Benefits
- Low up-front costs - we do lots of distributions, so we can do
one faster and more effiently than your team can.
- Low ongoing maintenance costs - we follow patches so you don't
have to.
- Down-to-the metal control of installation software.
- Increased security - fewer installed applications = fewer holes
- Predictable release schedules - you don't have to be at the mercy
of a vendor, you can schedule releases as you need them
- Enhanced testing cycle. You are able to fully test patches and
changes before releasing them into production.
- Include a mixture of licensed software. You can choose what is
included in the distribution, from commercial software to open source
to your own inhouse developed applications.
- Longer supported lifetime. We will be happy to continue to
maintain a distribution as long as you need it, independant of other
release schedules.
- Fast turnaround. We can have a distribution ready for you in only
a few days, after we've developed specifications with you.
