The most secure and widely used
web server in the world is the
Apache web server. Apache is fast,
powerful and secure. Apache serves
web pages for some of the largest
and most popular web sites in
the world. But, the most surprising
thing about Apache is that it
is also completely free.
Many people are often amazed to
learn that there is a tremendous
amount of free, open source, software
available to improve their business
and keep software licensing costs
low. Like Apache, this free software
is of the highest quality and
carries no licensing cost. There
is a wide variety of this software
available for everything from
email and database servers to
desktops and word processors.
Although unknown to most people,
a few of these free programs have
been in the news lately. A prime
example is the Firefox
web browser which is a fast
and secure alternative to Internet
Explorer. Firefox has rapidly
grown in popularity and has been
the subject of numerous recent
news stories around the country
including this
Computer World article.
Another example of excellent free
software is Open
Office. Open Office is an
office
productivity suite modeled
after Microsoft's Office Suite
or Lotus Smart Suite. Open Office
includes a word processor, spreadsheet,
drawing program and presentation
program and more. Open office
can read and write documents in
many formats including Microsoft
Office. While Microsoft Office
can cost as much as $400, Open
Office is completely free.
While open source software solutions
do not always fit everyone's requirements,
Netryx is a proponent of open
source software. Netryx recommends
and implements open source software
whenever it is appropriate for
the client's needs. Netryx can
analyze your software requirements
and determine if an open source
software solution is appropriate
for your business. |
