eBox Platform
Based on the popular Ubuntu Server distribution, eBox is designed to be an easily managed and monitored server platform for small to medium businesses. eBox provides modules to manage the mundane — users and groups, file and printer sharing — and the more exotic — Voice over IP, Virtual Private Networks, Multiple Gateways.
As it is Ubuntu-compatible, a 'multiverse' of Open Source applications are also available.

Manage easily and efficiently your offsite backup storage! eBox Platform integrates the eBox Backup Storage option that allows you to purchase the backup storage space you need for all the data you keep on your eBox servers.
Once you have purchased the necessary storage space, you can start backing up your data directly from the eBox Platform user interface. Please note that the storage space is sold in packages of 10G per month: if you exceed your limit, you will be noticed so that you can purchase additional space.
Imagine a technology that lets you manage easily any service in a corporate network, no matter how large or small, saving tons of time and avoiding errors. Imagine that you can easily adapt it and extend its functionality. Imagine that it is open source. Well, that's eBox.
- Review from June 2008 looking at eBox Plaform version 0.11.100 - so it is fairly old. However, it is a positive review, and many of the issues mentioned have been resolved.
I have over fifteen years experience in systems and network configuration and support. For most of that time I have been working with Open Source Software, and believe that Open Source software provides the best solutions for business, educational and personal use.
