Univention Delivers Open, Flexible IT Infrastructure Management to US Customers
Unlike other Linux operating systems, UCS provides an integrated identity and infrastructure management system. UCS also provides provisioning of infrastructure services for the central, cross location and cross platform administration of virtualized server and desktop systems. The user-friendly web interface makes administration simple and accessible from any client. UCS uses standard interfaces and easy to use connectors so is easily integrated into existing IT environments.
Key Features of UCS Include:
• Microsoft Active Directory compatible domain services to integrate and manage Microsoft operating system
• An App Center providing a wide variety of 3rd party applications from many well known manufacturers
• Integrated management system for the central administration of servers, clients and users, as well as a wide range of server applications Identity management with single sign on functions and integration of popular cloud services
• Enterprise Linux distribution as a basis for a stable, secure and cost efficient IT infrastructure
Univention App Center offers UCS components and extensions and a comprehensive choice of software solutions for groupware, file sync, CRM or backup. These pre-configured applications can be installed into existing UCS environments with just a few clicks, allowing for central administration of all data at the domain level.
“The timing is perfect for Univention to offer US customers our open source Univention Corporate Server as an alternative to proprietary systems that are expensive, inflexible, and all about lock in,” said Kevin Dominik Korte, Head of US Operations. “Businesses are seeking a new way to manage their corporate servers that offers state of the art technology, low cost and easy integration into their current systems, without losing control.”
“Univention Corporate Server is inexpensive and easy to administer," said Dr. Alexander Keller, Director Product Management, at Fujitsu. "UCS can be implemented with little effort and is the perfect solution for single PRIMERGY Servers as well as for large, distributed or virtualized environments, regardless of whether Microsoft Windows, OS X or Linux is used on the client side. Fujitsu certifies its PRIMERGY Servers for use with Univention UCS to provide the best user experience possible."
Texas-based Smith Engineering is spread across five offices with 80 users’ computers administered manually via five individual Windows NT domains that use Samba 3. UCS allowed the company to integrate with Samba 4, combining separate domains into a single domain with Active Directory functions for the central management of all workplaces. The Active Directory makes it possible to equip several workplaces with the required functions or rights, simultaneously using group policies to transfer these to new workplaces. Smith Engineering is considering a new e mail system because UCS and the integrated App Center makes it possible to integrate new, complementing solutions right out of the box.
Chris Lambert, IT administrator at Smith Engineering, said, “One of the biggest benefits of using UCS is the obvious cost savings compared with a Microsoft Active Directory implementation.”
Univention also today announced its first US-based training webinar scheduled for Wednesday, June 25 2:00pm EDT, in conjunction with the Professional Linux Institute. LPI provides training and certification for the professional use of Linux, Open Source, and Free Software.
