Many high-quality Linux distributions, both open source and professional, currently exist and are widely implemented, especially in the area of servers.

Most of these distributions are designed for workstations (desktops), including traditional office tools, or for servers (application, web or data). However, some cases require the development of a Linux distribution for a specific purpose or to work under special hardware conditions.

openTrends has experience in creating and adapting specialized Linux distributions for a variety of purposes:

• Distributions designed for specific business sectors, including applications and tools specific to the workstation.
• Specialized distributions on embarked systems, for applications that need to work on reduced-performance machines, such as on-board computers for transportation and automobiles.

openTrends has the knowledge and experience to incorporate the construction, maintenance and evolution elements of these distributions, such as proprietary installation systems, auto-updates (mirrors) and the development of drivers for special devices.

We also have the methodology required to help our clients migrate to these new open source software-based solutions, advising them on the system and application software products that meet their professional needs and avoiding risks related with the change.
