Integrated Small Business Servers

 

Application Services

Nitix Application Edition is now available on all versions of the Nitix operating system. Nitix Application Edition is Net Integration Technologies’ solution for small and medium sized businesses that need their servers to securely, reliably, and cost effectively provide both IT infrastructure services and run Linux®-based applications.

Nitix Application Edition has five distinct components:

  • The Standard Linux Kernel, which provides Nitix with the stability and reliability of Linux;
  • The Nitix Operating Layer that provides all the features and functionality required for a robust IT infrastructure;
  • The Nitix Virtual Server, an environment dedicated for running third party Linux®-based applications;
  • The UniConf Connector which allows for appropriate information to be securely communicated between the Nitix Operating Layer and the Nitix Virtual Server; and
  • The Nitix Autonomic Engine, which uses the latest in self healing, self-optimizing, self-configuring, and self-protecting technologies to ensure that Nitix servers are as secure and reliable as possible.

Nitix Application Edition with Nitix Virtual Server is the Best Operating System for Your Business

When technology providers make decisions about the type and number of servers a company needs to deploy to meet its business requirements, they are looking for the optimal compromise between reliability and cost. Reduce the number of services that each server in a company has to provide, and each server should run more reliably; however, more servers will be needed. Having more servers means spending more money to purchase them, and more money to manage them. Once a decision has been made on what type and what number of servers to purchase to support the needs of the business, consideration must be made for how much more money to invest in additional technologies to ensure that the severs are properly secured, effectively backed up, and easily recoverable.

With Nitix, small and medium sized businesses do not have to compromise. Deploying Nitix as your operating system and using the built-in Nitix Virtual Server to run your Linux®-based applications will give you the reliability of running a separate environment dedicated to your applications, without having to purchase and manage a separate application server. Installing applications on Nitix Virtual server is easy. Nitix also includes the technologies required to properly secure, effectively back up, and easily recover your server-based Linux applications.

Nitix Virtual Server provides:

Straight-forward Application Installation and Updates

There are several million servers all around the world running Linux and Linux-based applications, with millions more servers expected to be deployed this year. Many credit the popularity of Linux to Linux’s reputation for stability, security, and costing less to operate than other server operating systems. However, it is still more common to see very large companies using Linux than it is to see small and medium size business using Nitix.

Since 1997, we have dedicated our development to making Linux technology easier to use, especially for small and medium size businesses. Nitix Virtual Server allows customers to install and update most Linux based applications on a Nitix Application Edition powered server.

Improved Application and Infrastructure Reliability

Linux®-based applications running on Nitix Virtual Server will run more reliably because Nitix Virtual Server provides a separate area within Nitix dedicated to running your applications, and because of Nitix’s autonomic self-monitoring and self-healing capabilities.

Having a separate environment within Nitix that runs your applications improves reliability in two key ways. Nitix Virtual Server provides a more stable environment for applications to run on. Nitix Virtual Server prevents application issues from adversely affecting any of the other services that your Nitix Server is providing, so that your IT infrastructure services will be more reliable .  Learn More . . . 

World-class Application Backup and Recovery

A common expression among true information technology experts is: “IT amateurs backup; IT professionals recover.” The expression is popular because having a solution that can just backup your applications and applications’ data is ineffective. If you have a problem and you cannot quickly and easily recover your applications or your application server, from your backups, is your backup solution any good at all?  Learn More . . .

Integrated Autonomic Security

Most computer networks within small and medium size business are connected to the Internet. Connecting your network to the internet has several advantages. For example, you can browse the World Wide Web, send and receive email, and remotely connect to your network from anywhere that you can access the Internet. However, connecting your business to the Internet also creates the potential security issues. Unauthorized users might be able to gain access to information, resources, or the applications that reside on your company’s network. To prevent unauthorized access, several companies chose to purchase a separate firewall product.

Having a firewall product should prevent most types of unauthorized access to your network; however, firewall products can be difficult to properly configure, especially if you have applications that need access to the Internet, or people outside your local network that need access to your applications. In fact more companies experience security breaches due to mis-configured firewalls than due to not having a firewall product in place.

Nitix Application Edition provides small and medium sized businesses with a better security solution. Nitix includes a built-in firewall, so Nitix customers do not have to spend additional money to buy one. More importantly, Nitix’s autonomic technology automatically sets up, monitors and reconfigures virtually all firewall settings, in real time, depending on your requirements. This means that your firewall is always properly configured, and having a properly configured firewall will eliminate all security breaches to mis-configuration, thereby improving the overall security of your applications and your network.
