Clean Up Before You Start-Up - With Linuxcare !

It's a bit strange to think about cleaning up your plate before you start to eat - but with services from Linuxcare, you can do exactly that ! You can clean up a potential tangle of IT problems off your and concentrate on your launch, your products, and your customers.

Linuxcare enables you to select a package of "most needed services" for start up companies. In a word it removes temptation. And that's a good thing.

Start-Up Temptations


With the ready accessiblity of computer power and applications, it is a real temptation for a start-up company to draw on skills from "techie friends" who have computer skills, a bit of knowledge, and are expressing lots of interest in your new venture. Costs appear to be low, and there are "lots of free open source software" from which to choose. The problem is, if you yield to the temptation to go down this path, you may end up spending more time, energy, and money - in the form of lost business than you have ever imagined.

Web site ? You'll find that bargain hosting for your web site is no bargain. You will find that "unlimited bandwidth" is unlimited until you start to use some bandwidth. You will find that you are put on a server thousands of miles away with literally hundreds of other "$10 a month" sites and have put your business in danger if just one of those sites gets put on a blacklist for spam or unsavory content and the entire server IP address gets blocked. And, for $10 a month, expect to wait a very long time on the service call in line .

CRM ? : Installing is one thing - configuration is quite another. Making sure it works with your email and website ? That's even harder.

Linuxcare's Solution


Linuxcare offers a way to solve one management headache before it starts: For less than a trip to an industry trade show for one or two people, you can add a staff member from Linuxcare who will install, configure and maintain Web, CRM, and email systems for you on cloud-based hardware for your entire first year as a startup company. Plus, the use of standard enterprise ready open source packages such as Sugar CRM Customer Relationship Management and Joomla Content Management will insure that your investment will have the depth to carry on for years.

No Risk to Learn More


Click on the Shopping Cart Icon then the Linuxcare Test Drive and invest $50 for a one hour live discussion of your IT situation. And if you don't agree after the online conference that starting with a clean plate and keeping your focus on your business makes sense - you'll get a return credit, no questions asked. And, if you do go with the 1 year Ignition Pack, you'll get DOUBLE CREDIT with ORDER.

That's the way to Clean-Up before you Start-Up .

Questions ? Everyone Has Questions !

Dr. Scott Elliott, CEO Linuxcare

OK, so you have heard about the Cloud and the benefits it promises in the reduction of IT costs and complexity for your business. But how do you even get started? What platforms run out there? What are your best choices for the applications you need?  What can you port to the Cloud from your legacy systems? What do you have to build from scratch – and how can you build it? How can you get all these apps to work together? Do you need an internal army of geeks to get it running and keep it up?

At Linuxcare, we have assembled a global team of experts to help you get started, and to grow and improve your Cloud computing applications. Just as the Cloud represents “on demand”, scalable computing power, think of us as “on-demand”, scalable IT staff – use us when you need us, and not more. We have built our Website User Interface to be as simple as possible – just buy a block of time through Google Checkout and submit a ticket to get your job done. Our Technical Services Representative will review your ticket, clarify any questions, give you a time estimate, and dispatch the job to an appropriate expert. That expert will execute your required task quickly and efficiently, following-up to make sure you are satisfied with the result.

We have also provided some specific deliverables, such as:

  • Launch an instance in the Cloud with your Applications

  • Create a Security Configuration so your data are safe

  • Set-up the Elastic Block Storage you will need

We can then help you configure, customize and integrate your apps to run smoothly, so you can concentrate on the heart of your business.

It’s simple – just enough technical help! And at a very reasonable cost.
