Logical Solution Newcastle

With the launch of Windows 8, Microsoft has been trying its hardest to usher in a new era of desktop computing, but many businesses are opting for the increasing number of viable alternatives out there. One obvious alternative is Apple Mac systems, however many businesses are beginning to discover the power that Linux can offer. Benefits include tougher security and superior customization—not to mention that Linux is usually free.

Linux can be used in many areas of business, from desktop and internal server systems, application servers and of course running web servers. The combination of Linux and Apache accounts for more than 60% of all web servers on the Internet.

eastQuayIT employs certified Linux technicians and can provide Linux Support and Consultancy for your business. Our co-founder, Giles Wright, spent the decade before setting up eastQuayIT working in Linux environments for companies like JP Morgan and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

eastQuayIT have been working with some of the North East’s biggest high tech firms to help develop systems to process large volumes of scientific data. We have used the same kinds of technology in use at organisations like CERN where they use it to process the data collected by the Large Hadron Collider. We developed a system to leverage the power provided by Amazon’s EC2 platform to allow us to run simulations of particle physics on up to 2000 servers at any one time.

Linux is not only of use to high tech, scientific organisations – more and more white collar and creative organisations are using Linux in place of a the traditional Windows desktop environment.
