Two Ottawa companies to help local firms make switch to Linux servers (Canada)

To meet the growing need for affordable file servers, two local Ottawa companies have teamed up to produce a ready-to-use Linux/Samba file server, allowing businesses to save money and enjoying the benefits of added security, power and reliability for their networks. Local firms can now have experience the efficiency and functionality of a file server, while keeping their Windows or Mac desktops and saving money by choosing TCN-ABORG Linux/Samba File Servers.

Frank Roy of Turivers Computing has heard numerous complaints from business owners who wanted to buy Microsoft File servers but couldn’t afford them. And the price of open-source based servers from well-known online retailers wasn’t much better. Frank consulted ABORG Computing—a local company with extensive knowledge in open-source programming—for a better way to satisfy small business owners’ needs for a high-power server at lower cost. As a team, they have created an out-of-the-box Linux/Samba file server retailing for at least $800 below its Microsoft competitor for its entry-level model. Companies buying a higher-end model will see even higher savings while getting higher performance, power and security.

Companies benefiting most from adding Linux File servers to their networks are small- and medium-sized firms with a growing need for computer network power and data storage. Ideal customers include engineering, architectural, medical diagnostics firms, as well as graphic designers, animators, and photographers.

IBM and CN Railways are just two of the large companies that have already switched to Linux. A Forrester Research Inc. survey states that 52 percent of business users said they are replacing Windows servers with Linux (Business Week, Jan 31, 2005). International Data Group (IDC) predicts Linux server market share, based on unit sales, will rise from 24 percent to 33 percent in 2007.

To brief local business owners on the advantages Linux/Samba file servers, the TCN-ABORG product site, http://www.tcn-aborg.com, outlines the benefits and technical specifications. The site documents how companies and governments around the word have adopted Linux, and also includes links to sites by Small Business Computing, ZDNet and Business Week, all of which contain feature articles about the advantages of Linux.
