Collax Platform Server
Collax announces the next generation of office server technology: The Collax Platform Server!
The Collax Platform Server forms an extremely safe, reliable and scalable foundation for your whole business IT infrastructure and then delivers the functionality you specifically need.
For the first time, it is now possible to have an office server that meets your specific requirements perfectly. The Collax Platform Server adapts to meet you business IT needs by letting you simply selecting the functionality your company expressly wants. Just pick from a wide range of functional modules the features that you need and your server becomes exactly what you want: Full tailoring without the fuss or expense.
With this extreme flexibility you can have a server that can either be an addition to your existing infrastructure or as a holistic solution. The latter is especially interesting for smaller companies as it can significantly reduce costs originating from hardware, installation cost and later maintenance.
A point to note is that this server architecture is completely flexible even after construction and use. At any point of time you can extend the selected functionality or increase the user load without having to rebuild or reinstall anything.
In terms of flexibility Collax supplies a very wide variety of functional modules that can be used to tailor your office server. Collax believes that with this range of modules you can achieve any business function in any combination that you may need. This includes functions like Firewall, Antispam, Anti-virus, VPN, file and printing services, Unified-Messaging and Backup just to name a few. Also way to cut your costs (a cheaper server) and an alternative to Microsoft.
For more details on these functions and more please click here: Collax Platform Server Modules.
The Collax Platform Server forms the basis of a truly safe, scalable and adaptable server.
This business server can perform all functions that any modern day server may be asked to do, but with much more flexibility.
The sophisticated graphical user interface is not only secure, detailed and versatile, but it can be operated remotely from any network enabled computer containing a web browser.
The Collax Platform Server comes with standard networking functionality that enables it to integrate seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures, as does the user management feature that can either work locally or over LDAP/Active Directory imports.
The Collax Platform Server is tailored to your specific requirements by simply selecting the required functional modules that you need.

A few mouse clicks later and you have your very own tailored business scalable server.
The problem with most office servers is adaptability! Usually it is hard to expand the functionality of a working server, but with Collax it is as simple as selecting another module (or more users) and you have increased the functionality of your server.
Your Collax server is truly future proof! It also helps you to cut your costs (build a cheaper server) and an alternative to Microsoft.
Finally the Collax server is a Business IT Server. This means that uptime and reliance is vital to you. It is for these reasons that all Collax Platform Server based servers come with built-in self monitoring and backup functions.
You can relax in the knowledge that your office server is robust, built specifically to support your business and helps you achieve cost savings with your IT.
