Includes ODBC, JDBC, .NET, DBI and replication functionality. Again, without per-user or per-server license fees.

RT
RT is a request-tracker, or a helpdesk/customer service automation product. Customer communications are assigned ticket numbers and can be generated automatically from e-mail requests. Users interact with the system via a web interface or e-mail and all correspondence and telephone calls can be logged for future reference, time tracking and reporting. Perfect for making sure customer requests don't fall through the cracks and providing immediate feedback to your clientele.


XServe RAID
When you have large data storage requirements, you need a system that's fast, reliable, and affordable. The XServe RAID from Apple features a unix core, remote administration, Fiber-Channel storage, independent drive controllers for its hot-swapable drives, and up to 3.5TB of storage. All for the lowest per-TB cost in the industry.


Linux Network Appliances
When you have a dedicated application deployed at customer sites, support of the application can be the major on-going cost for your organization. For these situations a custom hardware and software solution can turn your application into a network appliance - a box as easy to use as a toaster. The customer needs simply plug it into an ethernet port, apply power, and forget about it. You have the option of secure remote administration. Built on embedded linux, these solutions are highly secure, customizable, and tamper-resistant. Low-volume solutions can be deployed on commodity hardware for maximum cost effectiveness.
