To help organisations of all sizes, Collax, created a new server appliance that allows to choose and add any specific feature needed at any time.
Collax Platform Server can be used to set-up in few clicks a file server, an email appliance, a firewall or any other type of services included in the range of features Collax provides.
The modules available represent a selection of the features present in the Collax Business Server, the Collax Security Gateway and the add-on modules which allow you to use each single feature for a specific use.
Third party applications can also be easily installed in few clicks:
If you develop web applications you may want to create an installation package so that you can deliver them using a standardised platform. As us for more information about Collax SDK.
Modules virtualisation Collax Platform Server is an eccellent tool that allow you to virtualise on Collax V-Cube, or other virtualisation environments, modules dedicated to a specific tasks.
Collax Security Gateway integrates all the enterprise level security tools in a solutions that is at the same time powerful but also easy to use.
The general definition of UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance, used by many manufacturers, could probably be quite restrictive if applied to the Collax Security Gateway as it doesn't simply guarantees high levels of security but it provides integration features that go well beyond your expectations.
Security through simplification
Numerous studies made on businesses network security demonstrates that the vast majority of vulnerabilities found are due to 2 main issues:
some firewalls allow, by default, all the traffic from the internal network to go without checks to the Internet so viruses and trojans can operate freely
most UTMs are so complex to manage that it's never clear what type of traffic is allowed on the various connections so network operators sooner or later will get some configuration seriously wrong
With Collax Security Gateway you have a clear view of all the network rules applied to your firewall and the traffic that is being routed through your networks so you won't risk to lose control of your security policies.

Collax has been making system administrators' life a lot easier for many years by standardising and simplifying the management of Linux servers. There is no need to edit complex configuration files or manage many servers with different Linux distributions and versions.
As Collax produces a family of products, covering most of the requirements SMEs may have, the interfaces and the methodologies used are very similar so once you learned how to use one product all the others are a lot easier to learn than having to deal with different manufacturers with different web interfaces.
Not just a Linux server management console
While most users will just notice a professionally designed web interface there is a lot more to it. To guarantee maximum uptime for your infrastructure Collax runs its own software repository where all the packages of its Debian based distribution are tested for bugs and compatibility with other add-on software that you may have installed on your Collax server.
A team of engineers is constantly busy developing new features and improving existing ones so that you can enjoy the robustness, efficiency and cost savings a Linux platform can deliver without the management complexity.
With Collax products you have also the peace of mind that all configurations are well documented as it creates for you a report containing every single service running on the infrastructure.
A family of products for all your needs
Collax's family of products is divided in 3 macro categories with aggregated features that can be activated depending on your specific needs:
With Kopano Files you can boosts your productivity by sharing and retrieving documents, using your existing storage solutions, right from the WebApp interface. You can work together on files and projects, with team members within your office and with external users.
You can integrate Kopano Files with your existing files shares, document management systems or your preferred Cloud based file sharing platforms. If you want to share files keeping control of their location and security why not trying NextCloud?
Your files where you need them
Files integrates perfectly with all the email and calendaring features WebApp has to offer. Creating a new email with the latest version of a presentation is easy: it can be done in just a few clicks without having to download it first.
Storing an incoming file is just as easy. Any attachment can be saved to your existing company network storage where it can be shared with your co-workers. And it works from any browser, anywhere.
Attaching large files
Sending large email attachments can be a hassle. Kopano Files helps you transfer these big files to any recipient, without filling up mailboxes and overloading email servers.
There is no need for any additional tools: attachments can be stored on your WebApp server and made available to the recipients for as long as you wish.
Keep control of your data
Kopano Files integrates with most storage platforms and protocols to allow you to access the documents you need regardless of the location and the type of infrastructure used.
One of Kopano users preferred platforms is surely NextCloud as it provides a service very similar to DropBox, Box, Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive but from your own in-house infrastructure or your Private Cloud giving back to you the full control of your data.
Kopano Files powered by NextCloud allows you to synchronise files with Windows, OS X, iOS, Android and Linux devices satisfying the requirements of all types of organisations.
Kopano is a lot more than just a great email platform, it provides you with all the tools you require to collaborate in an effective and secure way.
The high quality video conferencing and instant messaging tools use peer to peer encrypted communication channels to transmit data so all your important meetings meet and exceed the privacy and the security levels you need to comply with.
Kopano WebMeetings and chat
Emails are still the most efficient way to send messages that don't require an immediate reply but there is surely nothing better than being able to interact with colleagues, customers or suppliers in real time to exchange ideas.
Kopano integrates a video conference and instant messaging platform that allows you to interact with other people with the best tool for the task wherever you are.
With Kopano you can participate to web conferences using most browsers as it uses native components, such as WebRTC, so there is no need to install additional applications or wait for Java applets to load.
Presentations and screen sharing
Kopano WebMeetings allows you to share presentations and your desktop screen to deliver professional presentations, edit documents with the team or provide remote support sessions.
There is no need to book video conferencing rooms any more, all you need is just a browser. You can invite your colleagues, that set their on-line presence as "Available", to instant web meetings and send external participants an email invitation in a couple of clicks.
High quality video conference
No need to purchase expensive video conferencing platforms anymore. When you need to exchange ideas with colleagues, suppliers or customers you can do it easily from your PC, laptop and even your smart phone.
Web Meetings is an integral part of WebApp, so getting started is easy. There is no need to install a plugin, even when you’re the host of the meeting!
Invite people in a click
Thanks to the integration with WebApp you can instantly add a meeting by clicking a button when writing an email or replying to one.
Scheduling a web meeting is just as easy as any other meeting: click the button and the Web Meetings plugin will create your virtual meeting room and add the instructions for the participants to your meeting invitation.
If your only requirement is to share files and data that doesn't contain any important or sensitive information then you can use any Cloud based services as even if you lose the data or other people read the information doens't really matter to you.
NextCloud does provide the same ease of use as other Cloud services but with the big difference that you own it, you fully control the data, it provides the highest standards of security and it's Open Source.
Your data on all your devices
Whichever device you need to use, NextCloud is always available.
You can select the folders you may want to sync for off-line use on low capacity devices or all the data you may need while working on shared projects on your laptop or PCs.
All the applications you need
NextCloud isn't simply a file sharing application, it's an extensible platform on which you can activate in a few clicks a vast range of complementary tools.
Integration with Kopano
NextCloud and Kopano complement each other providing you the professional tools your organisation need to work efficiently. Now you can have Office365 or Google Apps features in-house without having to share your data with third parties.
Integration with Collabora's LibreOffice
If on-line collaborative editing is what you need then you found it.
LibreOffice is now available on your browser allowing you to edit, with your colleagues, Microsoft Office and Open Document Format documents.

Many organisations are benefiting from the use of NComputing VERDE VDI with both on-site installation and Cloud/managed infrastructures.
This is just a small selection of VERDE's reference cases:
VERDE helps us reduce capital expenses by providing support for Windows thin clients running virtual Linux desktops. In addition, by enabling our department to move desktops into the secure data centre and isolate access based on need or clearance level, the solution significantly improves security.
Representative from the U.S. Department of Defence, Military
VERDE has a small footprint, is easy to configure, and has many installation options. In fact, we experience that users fail to become aware if they are using a virtual desktop or a real desktop, or a mixture of both. As far as we can see it, VERDE does the job
Dr. Werner Degenhardt Academic Director and the CIO for the Faculty, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
The department of Mathematics “Federigo Enriques” of the University of Milan uses VERDE in an environment that requires support for both Windows and Linux under heavy workloads generated by mathematical and statistical simulation applications.
This team of researchers is highly transient and requires an extremely customizable tool set of applications. Rather than configure each individual device based on standard policies then address customization requests, ICERM sought a technology partner that offered a flexible, easy-to-manage desktop virtualisation solution to reduce maintenance costs and man-hours.
API needed a uniform infrastructure that would support the transition of most of its workstations to thin clients with more affordable and reliable services and accommodate a considerable number of constantly mobile laptop users across its Roma headquarters and Falconara refinery.
