ClearOS (previously known as ClarkConnect) is a powerful network and gateway, CentOS -based Linux server designed for small organizations and distributed environments. Though ClearOS comes with an extensive list of features and integrated services (see sidebar), the solution is easy to configure thanks to the intuitive web-based interface.
Open Source and Free
The open source revolution in the software industry has made it possible to provide ClearOS at no cost. Among other features, antivirus, antispam, VPN and content filtering are built right into the software -- no need for expensive third party add-ons. With ClearOS, you can avoid costly vendor lock-in and proprietary formats; instead, you can embrace open standards and protocols.
Professional Support
Along with online documentation, you will find an active community ready to help find your way. Open source is great, but where do you go for help with installation, support, consulting and professional services? Let me introduce you to ClearCenter. Not only will you find 24x7 ClearCARE support from ClearCenter, but also a growing army of ClearCenter partners to help with installation, onsite support, professional services and that all important ongoing maintenance.
Updates, Monitoring, Management
One of the most important tasks when deploying server systems is the ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
ClearSDN offers a suite of Gateway and DNS services to make sure your system is up-to-date, secure and running smoothly. Follow the links in the side bar to view more information on ClearSDN services.
