(PRWEB) October 25, 2006 -- Technology has given small businesses an unprecedented ability to compete with their larger rivals. But when it comes to the office server, that critical piece that brings business technology together, small businesses have been treading on shaky ground. Security was iffy, backup was cumbersome, downtime was common and professional maintenance could put you in the red. Those days may be over. For a rapidly increasing number of small businesses, an innovative self-repairing server system called Nitix is putting them on stable ground.
"We were in a bind," said Chris Maskill, Principal of Builders Capital Mortgage. "You depend on your server to keep the business running, but it would have taken an IT guy watching over it to make it actually dependable. With Nitix, though, we've been running it for about three years without a hitch. It's practically bulletproof."
The stability of the Nitix platform is one of its most distinguishing features. In fact, PC Magazine recommended Nitix for small businesses which lack "highly qualified IT staff for maintenance and management."* And, according to a 2004 study based on Microsoft's own testing methodology, in the category of Installation of the Operating System and Core IT services, Nitix was found to be almost 17 times better than Microsoft's Small Business Server.**
And that's good news for business owners, most of which are one server failure away from disaster. According to the IT Association of America, only 20% of small to medium sized businesses have adequate backup. And recent META Group study, for the average small or medium sized business just one day of lost data costs about $8000.
"If you ask me, Microsoft really dropped the ball when it comes to small businesses," said Kevin Selkowitz, Nitix specialist and owner of Bellevue's Selkowitz Computer Services. "Their servers include too much complexity small businesses don't need, yet don't provide the core functionality small businesses actually need. The Nitix servers, though, are incredibly reliable, easy to use and come fully-integrated and tested right out of the box."
From the ground up, Nitix was designed to be used in the small business environment. Not only is the interface simpler and more intuitive, it is also designed to diagnose, repair and optimize itself. As the first truly autonomic server system, Nitix uses artificial intelligence to perform a wide array of critical tasks that previously required onsite support.
Net Integration Technologies Inc. (NITI) is a software developer that delivers autonomic, Linux-based server operating system (OS) solutions to the SMB market. The company's revolutionary Nitix server OS sets new standards in stability, security, affordability and ease-of-use for small to mid-sized businesses.
