April 22, 2010 at 13:20Alt Linux 5.0 Ark. Is anything else needed?
Despite the fact that the boxed version was released just the other day, the software product has already managed to gain popularity, since the free full-featured version has long been available for upload to FTP.
Alt Linux 5.0 The Ark is a set of two distributions, the Server and the Workstation.
In addition to standard features, such as virtualization, web-based management, a rich set of applications in the workstation, Alt Linux 5.0 Ark has two important features.
Centralized authentication in the domain
Data of all users is stored on the server, so any user of the system can log in to any of the machines on the network, as well as store data on the server. You can also get a user centrally.
Powerful backup system for both the server and
Alt Linux 5.0 workstation. The Ark has a backup function based on Bacula. Using the graphical interface, you can not only assign a partition for which you want to backup, but also specify the frequency of creating a backup. Example: every day, from 12 to 1 at night, the server copies all the data to a neighboring disk, or important user data is stored on a personal flash drive in the workstation.
What else?
Thanks to a special module, you can conveniently and quickly configure various filters, for example, anti-spam filters, set a size limit for incoming messages. An LDAP user receives a mailbox automatically when registering with a domain.
The system has the ability to centrally update all computers in the domain. To start the update procedure, you just need to choose the architecture of the machines and the repository from which the update should be made.
Well, a few words about virtualization. If iron allows, in Alt Linux 5.0 Ark this functionality can be used. Virtual machines are needed to share physical resources. In addition, each virtual machine is independent of the others, and in the event of a hack or virus attack, the remaining virtual machines remain intact. Virtual machines can be: created, adopted (attached ready-made), packaged (for transfer). Alt Linux Server 5.0 The Ark supports both kvm virtual machines (also with Windows) and OpenVZ.
Work station
The workstation is based on the GNOME environment and contains a typical set of useful programs needed for office work and leisure. Like all Alt Linux products of the 5.0 branch, the Workstation is characterized by complete Russification, the ability to integrate into the Server and a convenient interface for managing and configuring the system.
The boxed version, like the electronic one, contains 4 systems: Server and Workstation for two architectures. A significant advantage of the boxed version is the availability of technical support for 1 year, a license agreement and a paper book.
