Whaddaya Mean the Software Just Works?

Hubworx, provider of open source based business solutions, today announced the immediate availability of Hubworx Integrated Appliance Software. The new offering is an all-in-one server software solution that provides network security and management, web-based collaboration tools, and a thin client server complete with Open Office. The platform is also available as a pre-installed hardware solution. A free evaluation version is available for download at www.hubworx.com.

Hubworx Integrated Appliance software is designed to allow customers to focus on running their business instead of worrying about IT. That’s why it has built-in intelligence with the ability to correct many common problems itself. Also included in the offering are monitoring tools that continually assess the health of the system. If a problem occurs that can’t be fixed by the system itself, remote support staff will be alerted to the problem. They will notify the client and ask their permission to access the system remotely. No confidential data is ever exposed to the support staff. In most cases the remote support team will call before any user notices a problem, and the problem is corrected before it has any impact on the organisation. This saves the client time and significantly reduces the number of onsite emergency visits required to support the system. Hubworx Integrated Appliance software does not distract them from the successful running of their business.

To further prevent IT distractions encroaching on the business Hubworx bundles a powerful firewall and security software such as server side antivirus, antispam and web content filtering. Automatic daily updates ensure the system is always protected against the latest security threats.

“Your IT system is only as valuable as the productive time you spend using it,” said Graeme Millar, Managing Director of Hubworx. “Our latest offering allows our customers to get the most productive use out of their systems by eliminating as many headaches as possible. Our pay-as-you-go pricing means that our customers are free to go elsewhere if we do not fulfil that promise, so it’s definitely in our interests to keep them as satisfied as possible.”

The Hubworx Integrated Appliance software includes everything needed to manage a network and create a collaborative environment to boost productivity. The software itself is free; customers need only pay for Hubworx Managed Support services to guarantee the continued health of the system, but there are no contracts or commitments required. Subscribers can choose to activate the combination of modules most suited to their unique requirements and can cancel at any time. The available modules are:

Hubworx Network Manager: The Network Manager enables the sharing of files, printers and Internet connections among multiple users, while offering the protection of advanced firewall technology. Built-in antivirus, antispam and content filtering are constantly updated to protect the integrity of the data on connected PCs.

Hubworx Web Office: A customisable intranet portal containing a collaborative suite with email and calendaring, time management and billing, online courses, and a trouble ticketing system. Web Office allows Hubworx Integrated Appliance users to access their data securely outside the office from any Internet enabled PC.

Hubworx Thin Client Manager: The Hubworx Thin Client Manager provides everything required to connect thin clients to the network, or convert obsolete PCs into thin clients. It contains a full Linux Graphical Operating System (with similar functionality to Windows) as well as a suite of Open Source Office Applications.

Hardware Platform: Hubworx Integrated Appliance software is also available pre-installed on a powerful hardware platform for those who wish to skip the initial installation and configuration steps.
