“The Connecticut Hospice, Inc. provides services to patients
with advanced, irreversible illness and their families and employs
365 staff and 575 volunteers. They are using e-smith’s Linux-based
internet servers for their corporate headquarters in Branford,
Connecticut and their five remote office locations throughout the
state of Connecticut.“
“When the Connecticut Hospice needed to update internetworking
services for their employees, they evaluated their options.
Although their IT team had experience primarily in Novell and
Microsoft solutions, they were drawn to the price performance of
Linux and curious about reports that it offered superior
reliability. They were, however, concerned about implementing a
technology for which they had limited internal experience.”
“That was when they discovered the e-smith server and gateway.
The e-smith server and gateway is an easy to use Internet server
based on Linux. The software is installed on standard PC hardware,
which is automatically configured to provide email, web services,
ftp, file sharing and an unique feature called i-bays (which
provide a convenient mechanism for hosting intranets, extranets,
customer download sites, etc.) “
