To promote and advise on the suitability of modern day Linux as the refined and viable enterprise desktop client it has become MEBBI™ Solutions are working together with NTI Leeds to produce and run a regular “Desktop Linux” workshop for platform and system integrators. The day will be hosted at NTI’s superb training facility at Old Broadcasting House in Leeds and is presently introduced as follows..

Integrate to Enable
Across todays IT enterprise is a growing realisation for the alluring benefits of open source software.

Selective implementation can increase the security, stability and performance of existing systems, return direction & control to constrained service delivery and provide substantial reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO).

In this comprehensive single day workshop Desktop Linux provides system integrators with the prerequisite insight and skills needed to implement and deploy a secure, stable and cost effective open solution across a new or existing infrastructure.

Through a series of hands on installations and configurations we introduce the Linux operating system and bundled suite of open source business-ware, highlighting it’s suitability as a viable and supported enterprise client for Microsoft server based networks by demonstrating Active Directory integration and system deployment.
We explore commercial and third party support, vendor release schedules and view projected savings across TCO via real world case studies & comparisons against proprietary options.

Produced by sector experts in enterprise service delivery “Desktop Linux” is intelligently structured to provide the necessary overview and accompanying technical knowledge required for open source platform integration in a single day workshop, bridging a previously unaddressed niche of introduction to what although proven across areas of cost effective stability and security is an operating system choice still seen as perceptually difficult to integrate as a business desktop solution.

The “official” course title and agreed structure are still to be finalised however if you are interested in attending or would like to request expanded information on proposed content and scope, MEBBI™ Solutions would be happy to discuss any queries or arrange pre-booking.
