  • complete e-mail services for hundreds to hundreds of thousands of users which includes redundancy, load-balancing, SPAM filtering and virus scanning, access via POP3/IMAP/web interfaces over secured and unsecured connections, encryption and signing facilities, etc;
  • ISP server farms to provide functions such as DNS; RADIUS/AAA; web servers; mail servers; database servers; VoIP platforms; IM services; administrative functions; servers providing load-balancing and high-availability services; web caches, content filtering and proxies; back-up facilities; etc;

Virtualisation and On-demand Servers

Please contact us to discuss server virtualisation through Xen technologies as well as pay-as-you-use on-demand server virtualisation technologies to ensure your web and application servers can scale to meet any demand automatically.

Embedded Linux Solutions

We can supply Linux solutions on embedded devices for any number of applications:

  • VPN servers and clients;
  • low-end router/firewalls;
  • a lower-cost but more flexable replacement for Cisco PIX and similar security appliances;
  • xDSL routers;
  • LAN application servers such as DHCP, DNS, wi-fi access points;
  • content filtering;
  • printer servers;
  • enforcing network QOS policies;
  • RADIUS/AAA applications;
  • web servers;
  • SIP/VoIP gateways;
  • OSPF/BGP routing;
  • and many more.

Our embedded devices are small (about the size of a wireless router), energy efficient and have no moving parts to ensure reliability. They are such good value, you can happily buy two so as to always have a spare and still have plenty of change from the cost of an equivalent branded appliance.

24/7 Monitoring

Open Solutions can provide a 24/7 monitoring and alerting service for all servers and the services they provide via phone, e-mail, SMS, IM and other methods as required.
