Escape Software License Lock-ins With New Pay-As-You-Go Alternatives
Hubworx offers free trials of their latest software suite and pay-as-you-go monthly support subscriptions.
Ayr, United Kingdom (PRWEB) June 30, 2005 -- 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.
Subscribers to Hubworx Managed
Support services can choose which modules are required and can be cancelled at
any time. A subscription ensures the continuing health of the system, and
safeguards valuable data. Included with a subscription:
• Daily security
upgrades to ensure the system is protected from the latest viruses and hacker
exploits before they can be used to compromise the security of the system.
•
Automatic installation and integration of new features and software upgrades as
they are released. Every subscriber has the latest version of the software.
•
Automatic system health monitoring and status reports. If the system encounters
a problem our support staff will automatically be notified and will immediately
attempt to correct the problem remotely before it affects your daily activities.
It is very unlikely that an on-site visit will be required. Our subscribers
therefore free up more time to concentrate on their own business confident in
the knowledge that their IT is running the way it should.
• Full access to
documentation and user manuals to train staff to manage and configure the
system.
• Access to our support staff, and our guarantee that we will attempt
to fix your problem as fast as we can.
“The adoption of pay-as-you-go
support pricing demonstrates our belief in our products. If we don’t provide
superior service, support and value for money, people will rightly look
elsewhere for alternative solutions. In effect this pricing structure acts as a
guarantee that we will continually focus on reliability and functionality to
exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Graeme Millar, Managing Director of
Hubworx. “We believe we have released a real alternative to expensive software
license lock-ins and that we offer a suite of products with unparalleled
features, flexibility and value for money.”
The Hubworx Integrated
Appliance software includes everything needed to manage a network and create a
collaborative environment to boost productivity, but subscribers can choose to
activate the combination of modules most suited to their unique requirements.
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.
