AQ announced their new LinX range of servers today. The LinX server offers smaller to medium sized businesses a complete Internet mail and connectivity server, with additional features like file sharing, printer spooling and user authentication.
The cost of licensing plus the hardware requirements of the popular server solutions from international vendors is often too high for most local South African businesses. The AQ LinX servers use the popular Linux operating system that is fast gaining momentum internationally as an alternative network solution.
The LinX server range offers companies a solution that is tailored to their needs and can range from a basic server that offers file sharing and printing to the LinX Advanced server that includes Internet mail, intranet hosting and secure file and Internet access. The LinX server is easily integrated into an existing network environment, and offers very stable Internet access and a mail server platform.
The fact that Linux is a free, open source operating system should not deter people from considering it as a suitable server platform for their business. Linux is capable of almost everything that commercial servers offer - and in several instances outperforms its larger rivals. The savings that companies make by choosing a Linux server can be utilised better for other network upgrades or technical services.
Linux is the operating system of choice for many large Internet service providers - proof that it can function in a highly demanding environment.
AQ also offers other valuable technical services that support the LinX server such as network planning and configuration, network maintenance, service agreements and other technical services.
