Comodo Releases Free CentOS
<p><strong>Jersey City, N.J. — May 4</strong><br />Comodo, a global certification authority and provider of identity and trust assurance management solutions, has launched Red Hat and CentOS-based versions of its back-office server suite, Zero Touch Linux (ZTL). </p><p>ZTL is a complete suite of Linux server applications centrally controlled by a user friendly, Web-based interface. </p><p>The new versions compatible with Red Hat and CentOS join the existing Trustix Secure Linux based version, providing administrators with greater flexibility and choice.<br /><br />ZTL takes a best-of-breed approach by offering administrators server software pre-configured on a choice of Linux distributions. </p><p>ZTL can be immediately installed on network servers and is ideal for small businesses looking to achieve an easy way to migrate to a Linux-driven back-office infrastructure.<br /><br />A single installation of ZTL brings under one umbrella a file server, print server, domain controller, DNS, mail server, Web mail, database server, Web server, proxy server, DHCP server, content-filtering server and a firewall. </p><p>The package overcomes the traditional difficulties of deploying a Linux infrastructure by reducing the setup of multiple server types to a one time installation and configuration.<br /><br />ZTL uses a familiar Windows-style GUI instead of a command-line interface to administer Linux-based servers. </p><p>One benefit of this is that companies do not have to retrain IT personnel and can continue to use their existing Windows trained staff to administer their server infrastructure.</p><p>"Many businesses are aware that Linux is the most stable, secure and cost-effective server operating system available but are often reluctant to migrate because they also perceive Linux as difficult to configure and use," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, Comodo president and CEO. "Zero Touch Linux helps to ease this situation by providing a single clean install of an entire back-office server infrastructure that is effortlessly managed through a central Web interface."</p>
