NitixBlue: Beyond A Server. A Platform for Lotus
Applications
If you thought Lotus was dead - you're wrong. Lotus is quite alive and well
and many businesses want to use it for their collaboration, email and overall
information management and work flow.
Seeing this trend, Net Integration Technologies has developed an operating
system, NitixBlue, which bundles IBM's Lotus Domino Express into an easy to use
server appliance perfect for small businesses.

Small-Business Server Bake-Off
"Net Integration's Nitix Linux small-business server offering packs every bit of
the feature punch of Microsoft's just-launched Small Business Server 2003 R2,
but at less than half the price, according to a CRN Test Center review".
"Nitix is a viable, cost-conscious alternative to [Microsoft] SBS 2003. What’s
more, Net Integration focuses on VARs and integrators, excluding retailers in
its go-to-market strategy. That is attractive for VARs, given Microsoft’s
embrace of retailers such as Best Buy for business".

Does Nitix = Linux on nitro?
The install process is a breeze. The queries and prompts you must answer to
complete the installation will take less than 30 minutes and only a single
reboot is required to finalize the process. File sharing, network printing, a
Web server package, FTP access and more are all set up without a glitch.
Nitix is a complete system, providing all the tools required for basic services
such as mail, unattended backups, MySQL database and many more.
My system setup was flawless and complete first time. Initial closed-network
testing uncovered no problems. E-mail, database and Web services were all up and
running properly.

Editors' Choice: Net Integrator Micro
Alan Stevens reviewed the Nitix-powered Net Integrator Micro on October 12, 2004
and named it Editors' Choice.
"..our Editors' Choice has to be the Net Integrator Micro. It may be small, but
it's very well equipped, with an innovative self-managing OS plus a good mix of
network productivity and security tools -- all at an affordable price."
"Given its name, you expect the Net Integrator Micro to be small, and it really
is tiny -- but only in terms of physical size. Hosting the vendor’s own
Linux-based Nitix operating system it’s big on functionality, bristling with all
the features expected of a small business server appliance -- and then some."

Impressive Marks for Net Integrator
"The Mark I includes features typically lacking in other network server
appliances, which justifies its higher price and larger size. For example, there
are three Ethernet adapters instead of two. The extra adapter can be used for a
second connection to the Internet complete with DoubleVision load-leveling
support. The built-in RAID support places it above most other servers on the
market. A built-in modem provides RAS support or a serial connection to the
Internet."

Swiss Army Server Butler
"Net Integration Technologies can make your life easier. The Ontario-based firm
makes server appliances, but this description doesn't correctly invoke the image
of what it does. It's a pretty amazing, all-in-one branch server."
"Think for a moment about the effort that goes into deploying NT/2000 and Linux
servers. Imagine you have a client wanting a branch server with email (webmail,
POP3 and IMAP4). It must be at least NT-authentication compatible as a
file-and-print server. There has to be a RAS, DNS, DHCP, LDAP-compatible
directory service, integral user-friendly backup, FTP, Ethernet connection
load-balancing, and VPN capabilities built-in, as well as the ability to
remotely sync the server from a headquarters location. Oh, and it has to sit on
a hardened firewall platform."

I-idb offers a viable server solution for the small and midsize business

Turnkey Network Servers Product Review
"...based on what we found in our review of the Net Integrator Mark II from Net
Integration Technologies, it looks like this company's success is a sure thing."
"In all, we were left feeling almost obligated to give it our highest score of
Excellent."
"In fact, all of the features are either so simple or automatic, one might think
they are not all present and ready to work. But that's the genius of the Mark II
-- everything is already set up, and it's very difficult for someone to
configure the server incorrectly."

Turnkey Network Servers IT Corner
"The Net Integrator was a joy to use, as its interface is among the best we've
seen, updating load figures continually and performing perfectly..."
"Virtual private networks are almost trivial to configure with Net Integrator,
and the routines among the easiest of any VPN device we tested...."
"The best performer of the group was the Net Integrator, which so overpowered
the other units that the winner of all performance tests was crystal clear. The
Net Integrator handled eight times the number of requests handled by others two
products.... In every measure, the Net Integrator was faster than the other
devices (Rebel.com Office Server and Cobalt Cube 3)"

rather amazing benchmark figures we recorded. But I'm jumping ahead of myself."
