Comodo, a global Certification Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, announced today the release of their FREE CentOS and Red Hat-based Linux server suite, Zero Touch Linux (ZTL). This Linux server suite contains applications centrally controlled by a user-friendly web-based interface, like File Server, Print Server, Domain Controller, DNS, Mail Server, Web Mail, Database Server, Web Server, Proxy Server, DHCP server, Content Filtering Server and a Firewall.

While Zero Touch Linux is free of charge, it offers industry-leading server software pre-configured on a choice of Linux distributions. ZTL server suite can be quickly installed on network servers and it's the perfect solution for small businesses looking to achieve an easy way to migrate to a Linux driven back office infrastructure.

ZTL server suite uses a familiar Windows style GUI instead of a command line interface to administer Linux based servers and the best part is that companies don't necessarily have to re-train IT personnel and can continue to utilize their existing Windows trained staff to administer the new ZTL server infrastructure.

Highlights of this release include:

■ Highly intuitive GUI - ZTL's point and click interface vastly simplifies administration of Linux servers ■ Ability to remotely install and configure Web, Mail, DNS, LAN, Database, Firewall and other server types ■ SSL secure, web based interface means ZTL can be used to administer Linux servers from Windows workstations and clients ■ Choice of Linux setups - the ZTL control panel and best of breed package selection is available as a pre-configured install with either Trustix Secure Linux, Red Hat or CentOS ■ One click upgrades of all server packages - ZTL intelligently updates all packages in a particular deployment with one click

"Many businesses are aware that Linux is the most stable, secure and cost effective server operating system available - but are often reluctant to migrate because they also perceive Linux as difficult to configure and use." - stated Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO Comodo, "Zero Touch Linux helps to ease this situation by providing a single clean install of an entire back office server infrastructure that is effortlessly managed through a central web interface."
