Conducting the Orchestra
Foundation

The PC-hardware systems that we provide are based on an Enterprise Linux that uses a security mechanism called SELinux.

We can attest to the effectiveness of Linux in a business context. Our systems have always been Linux-based and we moved our servers onto such an Enterprise Linux more than 10 years ago.
Automation

Linux and its Unix relatives are legendary for the level of process automation achievable.

We have taken to a higher level the automation of system production and installation on remote computers. The benefit to users and distributors is the greatly reduced risk of misconfiguration or omission.

You can expect further benefits from the online system-specifying website that we're developing.

Both our own systems and those that we sell have automatic monitoring, reporting, and alerting.
Co-operation

Our Projects Group currently contains 2 companies. We will expand the group if and when significant persistent business advantages will occur. However, we will keep the group small to retain our agility and to keep our core's ability and expertise levels exceptional.

With the right companies involved the benefits for you are far in excess of what's achievable from a single company of equivalent size.
Sub-contracting

We prefer to concentrate on producing exceptional software, but we also do significant amounts of system support - our own and clients'.

When necessary or appropriate, we sub-contact support services to others that we know and trust. We know a sizeable number of trustworthy competent like-minded organisations and people in various countries.
Small to Large and World-Wide

We do separation of hardware supply and software supply. For efficiency and cost reduction.

Our systems can span the range from tiny SBCs (single board computers) to distributed multi-server clusters.

A client's usual supplier provdes and installs suitable hardware. The contacts we have in various countries can assist if necessary and appropriate. Then we, and/or our sub-contractors, install the software via the Internet and verify correct operation. We are capable of remotely working up from a bare PC hardware system.

Thus we can scale our operations to match the situation without needing to mantain remote Offices (or Satellite Offices) that clients effectively pay for.
