Corporate server provides enhanced configuration and installation
tools for the enterprise. Pasadena, September 4, 2000 - Beginning today, the Linux-Mandrake Corporate Server 1.0 for Intel, SPARCTM and UltraSPARCTM / Sun processors will be available via different Internet servers.
"Our Linux-Mandrake Corporate Server 1.0 version provides
the ideal operating system for the majority of needs of the
enterprise. With the innovations in the fields of
configuration, administration, ergonomics and utilization,
Linux-Mandrake has every chance to become the standard for
the Linux system in the enterprise", says Henri Poole,
Chief Executive Officer of MandrakeSoft.
Summary of the specifics of Corporate Server 1.0:
Based on Linux-Mandrake 7.1, the Corporate Server 1.0
version, delivered with the source code, possesses the same
qualities that have made previous MandrakeSoft versions so
successful: power, stability, ease of installation and ease
of use. In addition, it brings new capabilities for
configuring a server.
This professional version is designed to manage the
extensive functions of enterprise-level computing systems
including the correct placement of the operating system, the
proper installation and configuration of a Web server, a
message server and a print file server as well as an
ensemble of other services and tools for network
administration.
Server management is optimized by:
- A new journalized filesystem (Reiser FS),
- The installation on multiple servers with the auto-install
tool,
- The WizDrake tool which provides for the acceleration of
different services,
- A direct administration of most services
(Web server, message server, partition for Windows files, DHCP, DNS, etc.)
through the Webmin Web Interface.
The primary innovations are:
- A highly evolved installation procedure
- Configuration aids (WizDrake)
- Server duplication (autoInstall)
- Native version for Intel and SPARC processors
