Consulting

Aguila provides consulting services to businesses and organizations that are planning, or already in the process of, migrating part or all of their computing technologies from Microsoft Windows® to Linux®. Linux is the most widely deployed operating system across the Internet and as such has become renowned for its reliability and superior security. Consider the advantages of employing Linux server(s) and / or Linux desktops in your business or organization — reduce or eliminate software licensing costs by using open source technologies.

We specialize in Linux/Windows integration, i.e. Linux-based network file / print servers for use with Windows-based desktops. Companies and organizations typically have a large investment in Windows-based technologies. Aguila can guide you through the integration puzzle to help you better utilize your Windows-based technologies investment by leveraging the many advantages of Linux and open source applications.

Intranet/Internet servers running Debian

Aguila uses Debian Linux for all of its own servers, and offers Debian server installation and configuration for intranet and/or Internet use. Intranet applications, for example, include office file/print server; internal web server; internal database; and/or application server. Internet applications include, for example: web server, ftp server, or email server.

And note that Linux/Windows integration is supported. You don't have to abandon Windows to take advantage of Linux. (Linux/Windows works for the Bank of Canada, see: Bank of Canada puts its money on Linux back end and Windows PCs.)

Desktop computers running Ubuntu

Ubuntu extends Debian Linux with a rich set of desktop features ideal for end-users. It has been dubbed "Linux for Human Beings" — currently the #1 rated Linux desktop distribution. Aguila offers Ubuntu desktop installation and configuration, plus user support by remote connection, phone, or onsite: in Vancouver, Nanaimo, or Victoria. Call to request an Ubuntu Live CD — you can test run Ubuntu on your current hardware: no installation required.
