The Right Tools for the Job

Over the last 15 years of working with just about every kind of Unix system in business settings, we've come to know a lot of what works and what doesn't.

Pananix experts have selected a range of products designed to get the most out of Linux systems for business. Professionally configured and supported, these components can comprise either a single part of a corporate network, or an entire system of servers, desktops and firewalls.

That expertise has been applied to offer commercial support of Linux on most computer hardware, from Intel systems to Sparc to Alpha! We've been supporting Linux installed on business computer systems in Panama since August 1999.

Put our skills to work for you!
