ClearFoundation unveils ClearOS 5.1

SALT LAKE CITY, USA: ClearFoundation has announced ClearOS, a next-generation Linux server operating distribution.

Historically known as ClarkConnect, ClearOS has been made open and free by ClearFoundation, including software such as MultiWAN which allows multiple, balanced Internet connections.

Linux developer base boosting up

The ClearOS Operating System tightly integrates dozens of leading open source applications in a single management interface and the distribution is free to download and use and redistribution is encouraged.

"ClearOS, a Linux distribution that is an entirely open and free operating system platform, is being actively expanded by a large community of developers dedicated to meeting simple IT needs," said Michael Proper, chairman of the ClearFoundation.

Open Source is our next level: Microsoft

"ClearOS offers the highest level of integration and openness available in the open source community. Many elements, including MultiWAN, HotLAN, and unlimited mailbox support, are now available for use and further open development. Soon a day will come when all networking gear runs open software and services," added Proper.

ClearFoundation's ClearOS provides an optimal IT solution for environments through integration with "in the cloud" services from ClearCenter and others like Google Apps. Adding value to ClearOS, ClearCenter offers free software and bug fixes for the current versions of ClearOS.

Myths about open source developers

"No other Linux distribution provides the tightly integrated services of ClearOS 5.1," said John H. Terpstra, President of ClearFoundation.

The open ClearOS API allows a flexible platform for connectivity to third-party open and closed applications, both locally on the platform and in the cloud.
