Open Source Support

Darq support and recommend the use of open source software wherever possible. Not because it's free, because it's simply better.

To start with it's easier to support. When something doesn't work right, we can open it up and see what's going on. We can confer with the development community and help with a solution. It's more flexible. If you're trying to streamline your business with IT, open source software provides an ideal foundation. Take our solutions for example - they're built on FreeBSD. Right from the word go we have rock solid stability and a point of departure that we can rely on. Due to FreeBSD's inherent openness, we've been able to customise our installations to suit us. You can do the same with the software that helps you get your work done.

In the past, Open Source software has been used primarily in server type scenarios. In the last few years however, as a result of the concentrated effort of a number of open source groups, that's changing. Open source desktop software is now commonplace, and is often the superior choice.

High profile projects like Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice bring high quality desktop software to your organisation for free. All you need to do is make the leap.

Now, making leaps is fine for dynamic companies that are up to speed with the latest tech. What if you're more conservative though? Darq can remove the risk of changing software by helping decide what to move to, and being on hand to migrate all your data to the new environment.
You can call our helpdesk with any teething problems, and our experienced staff will help you get to the bottom of the issue, and understand how to avoid it in the future.

Sun Resellers
2008-01-07

Darq recently became a  Sun Reseller as part of our shift towards being more energy efficient. Sun equipment tends to use less power, so we're now able to sell Sun servers, storage and Sun Ray desktop replacements. We're investing heavily in Sun Ray Thin Clients, which use just 4.6 watts (compared to 90 watts for a Mac Mini). Give us a call to see a demo at our Old Street office
