We love Linux too and
that's why we have added greatly to its
management capability and usability
As companies continue to migrate from Unix
to Linux InterStructures can dramatically
help improve the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
of these initiatives.
By standardizing the administration and
command sets of unique Linux servers: Apache,
FTP, Samba, DNS, DHCP and Squid, InterStructures
minimizes the amount of training necessary
for a Unix Administrator to manage a number
of different Linux departmental servers
using a consistent command set and user
interface.
InterStructures management platform allows
companies to use Windows administrators
to manage departmental Linux servers, freeing
up senior Unix/Linux administrators to do
higher value tasks
Labor is a significant portion of server
management cost and InterStructures platform
drastically lowers the labor component of
your TCO for a Unix -to Linux migration.
A lack of
robust and task delegation oriented Linux
management tools
The
Interstructures Solution: Linux has
no task delegation server administration tools
and Interstructures is the first one to provide
that. Our framework also provides the administrator
with efficient tool customization, and the
ability to create multiple tools of varying
levels of complexity for task delegation -
currently unavailable in Linux. This removes
the chances of errors when administering or
configuring Linux.
InterStructures
Solution: Each Linux distribution collects
multiple server operating systems from open
sources. Each of these servers has a different
set of commands making administration of multiple
Linux servers difficult and complex. InterStructures
hides this complexity from an administrator
by providing pre-configured server configurations
and a Linux distribution abstraction layer
that will work with different Linux distributions
like RedHat and SuSE. This reduces the chances
of human error, reduces downtime due to configuration
problems and allows for faster recovery periods.
