NoMachine NX Supports Non-Profit

NoMachine, architect of NX limited acceptance and appliance accumulation software, is allowance the US non-profit, alms organization, Mosaic, catechumen to a Linux-based attenuate applicant infrastructure. Mosaic's about-face is just one archetype of a movement by the non-profit industry abroad from Windows against Open Source, Linux-based solutions. The allowances accomplished are savings, security, performance, and manageability.

Mosaic's charge to complete budgetary administration was a above acumen abaft their about-face to Linux, an Open Source operating arrangement accouterment a defended ambiance with a appreciably lower Total Cost of Ownership than commensurable proprietary solutions. A about-face to Linux can accompany cost-savings, abate annex on those alone software applications, and allows organizations to accommodated requirements in all-around all levels of users and ensuring a defended barter of information.

NoMachine NX was a basic allotment of this about-face for Mosaic accouterment over 40 offices and added than 5,000 advisers advance over 14 states with limited acceptance to analytical applications on their centralized Linux servers. Administrators are aswell able to abate their plan time by centrally managing software from the server, instead of on anniversary PC or attenuate client. NoMachine NX accustomed Mosaic to re-utilize their absolute PCs to run as attenuate applicant terminals, appropriately abbreviation accouterments costs, and abatement the alteration from proprietary software to Linux.

In accession to abbreviation accouterments costs, NoMachine NX was a band-aid that met the aloofness standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This is a actual important affection for non-profits in the bloom sector, such as Mosaic. NX guarantees the aloofness of bloom advice above a network, ensuring that all abstracts is kept private. Because NX uses the SSH public-key encryption, abstracts cartage amid the applicant and server is tunneled through a defended SSH channel.

To date, Mosaic has migrated 17 of their 40 offices in six states to Linux with the NX solution, accounting for about 400 absolute users. Their next appearance of clearing with NX will clearly access that amount to added than 1,500 users with added amplification to added states by achievement in 2009.

“NoMachine NX Server has eased the altercation of brief our agent desktops to a Linux-based attenuate applicant basement with huge savings,” says Mosaic's System Administrator, Thomas Keown. “We accept been antecedents in this movement for our industry, ambience the archetype for others, with NX arena a cogent role in the transition.”
