Introduction

The economic meltdown has severely affected all segments of the economy  across  the  world.There  is  all  round  cost  cutting  and  a seramble for lower cost alternatives. 

The  Presentation  purpose  is  how  we  can  well  manage  the  IT Infrastructure which is very complex and going to be, as passage of time. 

To know more about  the Softwares  that proven much better  then any proprietary software. Discuss some softwares available at zero cost, it is robust, reliable and widely used

F/OSS : Key Points

OS Easy to Use, Deploy and Test before Installation Open Office Support large number of File Extensions Easy Administration Tools, Less Virus, Less System 

stable problems Online Packages Repositories Huge Community Support Less Vendor Specific Drivers Required Easy Backup Tools Secure  No Cost to Use, Support and Upgradation 

   

Problems to Implement

• Weaning users from the traditional tools they 

      are accustome to.

• Study well before use.

• Patience 

• Hardware specific Softwares

• Well Internet/LAN connectivity

 

   

What we have done...

We have already overcome the few problems of F/OSS Implementation 

Except to replace each users desktop.

We are smoothly running...

What we require...

Rather then to pay companies we should move 

to F/OSS for that we require

• Support from Administration (Director/Management)

• Encouraging Faculty/Students.

• Build a team of motivated OSS Professionals.

• Training/Motivation to the Staff to use OSS. 

• A Helpdesk.

• Research & Development Department

   

Our Contribution in F/OSS

• We are the Various Linux ISO Image Tester and Distributor

• Educator 

• Developer

• Implementation Support Provider

• Institute MOODLE Administrator

• Desktop/Server Administration Support Provider

• We have own Mirror Server

   

Suggestions

• We can move User Desktop from Proprietary Software to 

          Linux Desktop

• Encourage to use Open Office, Firefox (Cross­Platform)

• Use Low­Hardware Machine with LTSP

• IP Chains to Setup Firewall, Squid for distribution of 

         bandwidth and SARG to monitor its consumption

• Linux Apache MySQL PHP for Programming Environment

• Webmin for System Administration and NTOP to manage 

          and monitor the entire Network

• Backup on NAS using FreeNAS and OpenFiler

• E­Mail Server using Q­Mail

• Library on Koha Software
