The server hardware couldn&#8217;t be repaired, and because the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Small Business Server<\/a> software was only for the supplied hardware (OEM version), the only option was to purchase and install a completely new server.<\/p>\n<p>Keith Metcalf from North Tyneside Carers\u2019 Centre told us, &#8220;We were unable to get the Microsoft <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Small Business Server<\/a> repaired, and were without IT services for two weeks. It was a complete nightmare. We decided we would look for a more reliable alternative, which is when we came across the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Igaware Linux Small Business Server<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Igaware Linux Small Business Server<\/a> offers a direct upgrade path from Microsoft <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Small Business Server<\/a> offering the same benefits of Exchange Email and File Serving, but on a more reliable and secure platform. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Igaware Linux Small Business Server<\/a> includes Internet and Email Security, and Data Backup options.<\/p>\n<p>Keith added, &#8220;We have been using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igaware.com\/products\/linux-small-business-server\">Igaware Linux Small Business Server<\/a> for over five years and it has proved to be a far more reliable and cost effective server. We have only ever had one problem when a hard disk went bad.\u00a0 It only took 5 minutes for an engineer to replace the disk. The support we receive is excellent. &#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Tyneside Carers\u2019 Centre is an independent charity supporting people caring for others on an unpaid basis.
