A robust, open-source operating system (OS), Linux is increasingly the choice among savvy developers of everything from tiny embedded information appliances to server appliances to large-scale mission-critical applications. Linux delivers better performance and more reliability, along with a lower overall product cost, than other operating system alternatives.

If you're building products that rely on or that can benefit from open-source software, Linuxcare can help ensure your success in developing uniquely differentiated products which get to market faster. As the industry leader in designing and deploying open-source solutions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), and leading-edge enterprise companies, Linuxcare bolsters this OS with everything you need throughout the complete life cycle of product development, including:
strategy subhead
Linuxcare's Open-Source Strategy Consulting will help you get an early jump on the competition, by giving you a clear understanding of the business and technical benefits of Linux and the best way to leverage those benefits during development and product rollout.
development subhead
With our extensive experience in open-source development, we can guide you through the entire product development process. Linuxcare's Developer-to-Developer Support, for example, gives your engineers direct access to our open-source expertise during the crucial development process.

Deltabase, our comprehensive Web-based knowledgebase on every major Linux distribution and package, provides a central point of reference for critical information such as bug fixes, security audits, errata, dependencies, conflicts, and compatibility requirements across different distributions.

You can also off-load significant portions of the development process to Linuxcare Professional Services, which can port or develop device drivers for Linux. If you choose, we can even host and maintain those development efforts as open-source projects.

When time-to-market is the most important factor, Linuxcare can create a customized Linux distribution to precisely fit the unique needs of your product development or business environment. A custom distribution is a great way to jump-start your entry into the rapidly growing Linux market.

With Linuxcare as your partner, you can free up your in-house resources for your own valuable core projects, while resting assured that your open-source development work is on track.
integration subhead
Linuxcare's integration services allow you to concentrate on delivering your main product to your customers by letting Linuxcare focus on the elements that require open-source skills and experience. Our experts can accelerate development of products based on open-source by performing seamless hardware or software integration, building and adding drivers, even recommending hardware designs that take best advantage of the inherent performance and cost benefits of Linux and open-source technology.

Linuxcare can help you integrate Linux into embedded systems and network appliances or optimize the operating system for non-standard hardware and special-purpose devices. Perhaps you have a product running on Linux, but it's not running well. It might be a problem with a driver or it might be caused by an off-the-shelf-distribution that needs optimization. Wherever the bottleneck lies, Linuxcare can help identify and solve the problem by tuning the existing Linux implementation.

Linuxcare's expertise can also help you build, port or optimize parallel computing and clustering under Linux. We design and deploy open-source clustering solutions designed specifically for high-end mathematical and technical applications. We can also provide support for the system and analyze throughput issues to help improve overall performance.

Network attached storage (NAS) devices, where storage on a network is provided from a single node, are growing in importance. Linuxcare is poised to deliver NAS solutions, with skill and experience in all of the major competencies required for the development of the NAS software stack, such as integration, the Samba Appliance Kit, local storage and file system expertise, and remote management.
validation subhead
Before your product is released to the marketplace, it should be validated to ensure that it performs as advertised. Linuxcare Labs -- a distribution-neutral independent testing authority with proven testing methodologies -- provides a comprehensive suite of services to evaluate and certify hardware, software, and solutions that incorporate the Linux operating system. These services range from the free, downloadable Linuxcare Labs eTest tool, which offers a baseline look at a product's compatibility with Linux, to our Standard and Enterprise Certification tests to comprehensive validation of complete solutions for enterprise-wide and mission-critical environments.
product delivery subhead
Linuxcare can help you seamlessly deploy your solutions based on Linux and open-source technologies. We offer a wide array of technical support services that can increase availability, reduce administrative overhead, and improve overall business performance by facilitating the resolution of your Linux-based problems:
  • Developer-to-Developer Support -- puts your developers directly in touch with our technical experts while in the product development process.
  • High Availability Support -- guarantees you 24x7x365 access to support for mission-critical operations, with an initial response within 15 minutes and a continuous effort until your problem is solved.
  • Backline Support -- provides a cost-effective support solution for your internal product support staff by supplementing your help desk or serving as a point of escalation for Linux or open-source questions.
  • Life Cycle Support -- provides deep Linux expertise as an escalation point while meeting more involved needs such as creating or fixing code.
