Trustix™ OS- The Ultimate Linux
All the products in the Trustix™ suite of solutions are based on a hardened version of Linux called Trustix™ Operating System (Trustix™ OS)
Trustix™ Operating System is a scaled down distribution of Linux specifically targeted at servers. Packages have been specifically chosen for their suitability to the server platform. It features strong encryption and heavy duty multitasking capabilities
Advantages of running a Linux based server
- Low cost: You don’t need to spend time and money to obtain application licenses since much of its software come with the GNU General Public License. You can start to work immediately without worrying that your software may stop working anytime because the free trial version expires.
- Stability: Linux doesn’t need to be rebooted periodically to maintain performance levels. It doesn’t freeze up or slow down over time due to memory leaks and such. Continuous up-times of hundreds of days (up to a year or more) are not uncommon.
- Performance: Linux provides persistent high performance on workstations and on networks. It can handle unusually large numbers of users simultaneously.
- Network friendliness: Linux was developed by a group of programmers over the Internet and has therefore strong support for network functionality; client and server systems can be easily set up on any computer running Linux. It can perform tasks such as network backups faster and more reliably than alternative systems.
- Flexibility: Linux can be used for high performance server applications and embedded systems. You can save disk space by only installing the components needed for a particular use. You can restrict the use of specific computers by installing for example only selected office applications instead of the whole suite.
- Compatibility: It runs all common Unix software packages and can process all common file formats.
- Fast and easy installation: Most Linux distributions come with user-friendly installation and setup programs.
- Full use of hard disk: Linux continues work well even when the hard disk is almost full.
- Multitasking: Linux is designed to do many things at the same time; e.g., a large printing job in the background won’t slow down your other work.
- Security: Linux is one of the most secure operating systems. “Walls” and flexible file access permission systems prevent access by unwanted visitors or viruses.
- Open source: If you develop software that requires knowledge or modification of the operating system code, Linux’s source code is at your fingertips.
Linux beats Windows hands down on network features, as a development platform, in data processing capabilities, and as a scientific workstation.
Trustix™ Operating System is the most secure, server specific version of Linux on the market today.
The natural choice for enterprise servers.
