The Open Source Advantage

Here at Coast Business Technologies, we believe that Open Source software is ready for prime time.

Thinking of upgrading your Windows network, but tired of reboots and expensive licensing?

Well... Linux.-based server solutions are great for small business. You can save thousands of dollars on license fees with Linux-powered servers that can replace or complement a Windows Server network.

Linux Windows emulation is so robust, flexible, and secure that many companies chose it over Windows Server for their file and print services. This option will not only put money in your pocket, you will provide you with a more robust system. Samba is Open Source software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

On the applications side, freely available Open Source products such as IBM's Lotus Symphony Office suite, are completely compatible with and can be a drop-in replacement for Microsoft Office. Many other applications such as Accounting, Reporting, CRM can be obtained.

Please contact us for more information.  We will be pleased to help you with your network, end-user support, as well as a range of Open Source software.
