Sun
sets on Cobalt as web-hosts wake up to Trustix Xserver
[September 27, 2004]
New
York 27th Sept. Trustix, the internet infrastructure
specialists, today announced the launch of their dedicated
web hosting appliance Xserver™ CP+. The appliance
runs on the security hardened, server optimized Linux
distribution, Trustix OS and is remotely managed using
the intuitive and user friendly control panel, Trustix
CP+. Trustix see the new server as occupying the niche
market left open by the discontinuation of Sun’s
Cobalt range
The move is the latest in Trustix’s
program to integrate its secure operating system with
the new generation of powerful and user-friendly control
panels. Trustix feel that usability and transparency
is essential if the Linux platform is to achieve the
29% share of the enterprise server market by 2008 that
was predicted by recent IDC research.
Trustix CP+ facilitates the quick and
easy, web based administration of dedicated servers.
It simplifies the usually complex management of tasks
such as web site hosting (including DNS management and
email), mySQL databases, firewall configuration and
Samba file sharing. Administrators don't need to remember
a long list of console commands with complex syntax
and valid parameter values. Featuring granulated access
levels for maximum security and flexibility, Trustix
CP+ enables remote access and control of all aspects
of corporate servers from any desktop.
The unification of the control panel,
Operating System and server hardware into a single vendor
entity means businesses will enjoy cleaner and, crucially,
more effective support. Instead of making multiple telephone
calls to separate organizations, customers will be able
to identify and solve any problems with a single call
to Trustix.
Steve Roylance, Technical Marketing
Director of Comodo-Trustix, commented:
“The best and most effective solutions
are those that make life simple. Cobalt exemplified
this approach by providing an appliance that was easy
to deploy and control whilst retaining a cost effectiveness
that appealed to businesses of all sizes. Xserver CP+
forms the perfect replacement for existing Cobalt users,
delivering a pre-secured, powerful and reliable server,
remotely configured from an intuitive, user friendly
control panel.”
“The Trustix Xserver CP+ is commensurate
with the ideals common to all Trustix products; Security,
Ease of Use; Cost Effectivity and Customer Care. We
are looking to simplify server management for Linux
newcomers and experienced administrators alike. Businesses
of all sizes can take advantage of the powerful and
intuitive remote server management features of Trustix
CP+ , assured that their servers are running on the
most secure and reliable Linux server operating system,
Trustix OS- all for one industry low price.”
