What is Linux?
Linux is an operating system that connects a computer’s hardware—its physical components—with the software that uses them.
The Linux kernel is the core of the operating system and provides its essential functions.
What makes Linux different?
The Linux kernel is copyrighted by its contributors and distributed under the terms of the General Public License (GPL). This licence permits use, copying, modification and redistribution under its conditions. Other software available for Linux may use different licences, including more restrictive commercial licences.
Will Linux work well with my network?
Networking support in Linux is advanced and superior to most other Operating Systems. Since the people developing Linux collaborated and used the Internet for their development efforts, networking support came early in Linux development. As an Internet server, Linux is a very good choice, often outperforming Windows NT, Novell and most UNIX systems on the same hardware (even multiprocessor boxes). Linux is frequently chosen by leading businesses for superior server and network performance.
Linux supports all of the most common Internet protocols, including Electronic Mail, Usenet News, Gopher, Telnet, Web, FTP, Talk, POP, NTP, IRC, NFS, DNS, NIS, SNMP, Kerberos, WAIS and many more. Linux can operate as a client or as a server for all of the above and has already been widely used and tested.
Linux also fits easily and tightly into Local Area Networks (LANs), regardless of system combinations, providing full and seamless support for Macintosh, DOS, Windows, Windows NT, Windows 95, Novell, OS/2, using their own native communication protocols. Linux can do all of this with low memory requirements.

Software |
|
We develop tailor-made software and modify or update older applications.
Our software is developed using REALbasic, VisualBasic, Pascal (Delphi as well as others), 4D, Omnis Studio, C, C++, etc.
These programs can be developed for the platform you choose:
- MS Windows
- Mac OS/Mac OS X
- Unix BSD, Linux, Solaris, AIX
- AS/400
- Palm OS, Pocket PC
We carry out an initial study and provide a detailed report with a development plan, dates and deadlines. Our online support system lets you follow progress throughout the project. We also provide subsequent support and updates.

Web software |
|
To develop dynamic websites, we use widely used, powerful tools:
Dynamic websites based on Java servlets. Java applet programming.
CGI applications in Perl5, with database connections through DBI (PostgreSQL, mySQL, mSQL, Oracle...).
PHP4 and Python. CGI programming on UNIX in various freely available languages.
Microsoft Visual InterDev. Solutions for Microsoft Web providers, VBScript/JavaScript languages, Active Server Pages (ASP).
WebObjects applications: the perfect solution to carry out your project, be it on Internet, Intranet, Extranet or e-Business.

Database |
|
Choosing the right database is an important project decision. It depends on the workload, operating system, budget and development timetable.
Corporate solutions requiring a powerful, stable and scalable database capable of handling a large workload: Oracle, Sybase.
Cost-effective databases with strong performance. Unix SQL. Commercial SQL databases (OpenBase SQL, PrimeBase) or freely available ones (mSQL, mySQL, PostgreSQL).
Microsoft solutions. SQL Server or MS Access.
High performance for local applications with hundreds of thousands of records: ParadigmaSoft Valentina.
Rapid development combining the programming environment and database: 4th Dimension, FileMaker.
Whether you already use a particular database or are starting a new project, we can help.

E-Commerce |
|
Software installed on your web server lets you update your website’s content without redesigning it or paying for costly maintenance. This gives you a dynamic online presence with attractive, up-to-date content for consumers (B2C, or Business to Consumer).
For Business to Business (B2B) or Business to Employees (B2E) solutions, e-commerce software can organise transactions between companies or manage the provision of value-added products and services to employees.
There are also many e-commerce solutions for businesses which supply services to the Administration.
We have a wide range of solutions for goods or services exchange between Internet users, such as auctions, exchange oriented sites, etc.
E-procurement
Electronic purchasing. We apply Internet technology to a company’s supply chain to make purchasing and payment simpler and more efficient.
|
|
Security |
|
Network and system security: firewalls, antivirus software, access monitoring and control, identity verification, etc. Encryption of data in transit.
E-commerce security: alongside the technical protection of transactions through encryption, key length and other measures, we help users understand those protections and feel confident using the service.
We work with SET (Secure Electronic Transaction) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), according to your project’s needs.
