Linux® Systems / Software
Station deployment working with Linux systems.
Open-source operating system.
The Linux® system is a quintessential example of the possibilities that open-source architecture and Internet collaboration tools provide between multidisciplinary development teams and their business users.
The operating system was introduced for the first time in the year 1991 at the hands of a young engineer named Linus Torvalds and since the beginning of this new period, the architecture of the operating system has constantly evolved. The Linux system follows in real-time all the innovations of the most different segments of Informatics and Information Technologies.
Servers and workstations with Linux Ubuntu®
The Ubuntu® operating system - in its different variations - is the only Linux® distribution with dedicated support from Pulsaris. Support is available in a standard format for customers with a total number of units of less than 20 workstations or in a corporate format for customers with a higher number of workstations.
* The Linux Mint® distribution was no longer supported by Pulsaris in April 2018. Support is only maintained on customer equipment and servers that have not been migrated to an Ubuntu® distribution.
