Kingsley business server solution
Kingsley Business Server is a complete small business server solution for a windows or linux network at a fraction of the cost of proprietary solutions. It can be used as a primary domain controller on a windows network and provides many features required by small workgroups or businesses. Besides the features that come with basic Kingsley Business Server many additional moudles are available. Kingsley provides installation, configuration and maintenance support for Kingsley business Server.
The standard features of Kingsley Business Server include:
Ease of Administration
Kingsley Business Server software uses a web-based interface to enable easy administration from any web browser on the internal network, password protected and accessible remotely via SSH or PPTP.
File and Print Sharing
The core of any network environment is easy and simple access to shared files and printers. Kingsley Business Server software allows for the easy sharing of files and printers to Windows and Macintosh clients. The “Information Bay” (i-bay) feature provides easy and convenient information storage and retrieval by multiple groups via web, ftp, or file sharing.
Internet Connection
Small business customers are looking for a simple solution that works with different types of connections to the Internet. Kingsley Business Server automates the process of connecting to the Internet. Just connect the server and supply your ISP account information. The server solution acts as a gateway for your entire network and requires no additional client software and minimal configuration. Users can immediately start browsing the Web, using email, and access other Internet services.
With the pervasiveness of email, small businesses increasingly need to support email for all their employees. Kingsley Business Server provides a secure reliable email server and allows easy creation of individual and group addresses. For greater versatility, it works with any mail client that uses the industry-standard IMAP, POP3, and SMTP protocols. Secure webmail allows users to access the server from a web browser anywhere on the Internet, to send and receive e-mail via an encrypted (128-bit SSL) link. On top of that it is equipped with ClamAV Antivirus and SpamAssassin to reduce the amount of unsolicited mail.
Firewall
Security is always a priority when a company starts using the Internet. Kingsley Business Server offers a multi-layer architecture, protecting the external interface through packet-filtering and service restriction. It offers selective address or port binding, application-level access control lists, and protects the internal network from any intrusion.
Remote Access
Businesses with remote or branch sites or telecommuting employees require remote access to their email and to other resources on the local network. Kingsley Business Server provides multiple tools such as webmail access to email using any browser, 128-bit PPTP (for secure client-to-server VPNs) and open secure shell (SSH) to provide encrypted access to the internal network and server resources for administrators.
Directory Services
Companies typically require a central directory of email addresses that all users can access. Kingsley Business Server features a robust directory service that can be used by most email clients (including Outlook, Outlook Express, and Netscape Communicator). This feature is implemented using the industry-standard LDAP protocol.
Web Hosting
Small businesses also need a secure and reliable web presence and an intranet to communicate with employees. Kingsley Business Server includes the Apache web server used by over 60% of the Internet. The content can be easily edited and updated from desktop clients (including dynamic content). It also supports the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections for e-commerce.
Raid and Backup
Kingsley Business Server software supports both hardware and software disk mirroring (RAID 1), USB Disk backup & tape backup for additional data protection.
Automatic Updates
Almost all of the packages that the Kingsley Business Server includes from upstream vendors are included unmodified. The purpose of doing so is to take advantage of the stability that comes from the huge user base that uses these packages, for security, and to allow automatic updates as soon as an update is available from the upstream vendor. Security updates from Redhat/Centos should be available until 2012 for Centos 4
