You cannot take a business software and add security,
like the icing on a cake. Security doesn't work that way,
it is not an additional feature.
Security is an integral part of a software solution and can
only be achieved if it is built into the service from the
start. And if security has top priority while using the online
business solution.
The Secure Booking Service
Booking online is a difficult process.
Of course, all online booking systems are secure, because they all use
https and expensive SSL certificates. Yes, but that is
not nearly half of the story. The really tricky part starts when the
information arrives at the server.
What happens to the information after it has arrived at the server,
that is the crucial question. All the measures taken on the server
to provide protection essentially determine whether the customer's
information given to book online remains secure or not.
With security in mind, we have developed a secure online
booking service that is available to hotels and guesthouses as a
software service hosted on servers that are controlled by Kerry Linux.
The booking system is designed to protect customer information as much
as possible. All information arriving at the server will be
encrypted again, so that only the hotel manager is able to use
the information, after an encrypted email has been sent to him.
The server will never store anything unencrypted.
Fortunately more and more people are beginning to appreciate such
measures to increase their online security. That's why a secure
online booking service can improve a hotel's website considerably,
when the benefits of the booking system are made clear to the potential
guests.

for more information about the secure booking service. It could improve
your website, too.
Secure Booking Is A Service Not A Product
Well, you don't own a hotel or guesthouse, right? That doesn't mean that
secure booking is not for you!
Another important benefit of the secure booking service is that it blends
with your website design perfectly, because it simply uses your
existing website code.
With some adaptation to your special requirements the secure online
booking system can be used to book anything not just rooms.
And it will give your customers a seamless booking experience to
ensure your booking process will be seen as an individual solution,
made for your special business.
Please consider this advantage, when you think
about how to stand out from your competition.
Yes, the secure online booking system will cost you money, but only a
very small percentage of the business it generates for you. There is no
monthly operation fee, so your costs are tightly bound to the business
you receive through the system. You can use it in addition to your usual
way of getting business, as another special service for customers who
value that you care for their online security.
Managed Business Software Online
We believe that a dedicated server in a professional data center which
is managed to provide both a carefully designed software solution and a maximum of
reliability and security is the best option for a small business today.
Instead of employing an in-house IT team, even small businesses can
gain all the advantages of using a data center.
With professionals who ensure that the server hardware is fully
functional and the software expert managing an open source software
solution businesses win reliability in addition to reduced costs.
Embracing this approach will lead to a more cost-effective use of your
available IT budget and to increased independence from commercial
software vendors.
Control and independence are the main factors in favour of
the managed business software solution on dedicated servers.
And deploying your open source software solution on dedicated servers
will also improve your security as the IT infrastructure is managed
by experts that control both, the operating system and the application.

Linux Servers as Virtual Machines
Linux servers are well known for their reliability and stability. It's no wonder that more
and more businesses wish to switch over to Linux as the benefits are becoming increasingly
obvious.
But there is the hurdle of installation and configuration which often prevent small businesses
from starting to use Linux in their office.
It is understandable that businesses wish to hand over the responsibility for an essential
but complex system to the experts.
To make using Linux as convenient and reliable as possible for small businesses, Kerry Linux
offer a Linux server as a virtual machine which is fully tested and ready to use.
You can start the virtual Linux server as a virtual machine inside the Windows operating system.
Alternatively, your secure virtual office server runs as a XEN virtual machine on a Linux computer.
In both cases you do not need to change your operating system to run the virtual office server,
all necessary files are provided by Kerry Linux and your new system is ready to go.
At Kerry Linux our main objective is to help you to access and use open source software
to its full extend. First of all you can expect to receive professional advice and consultation
to find out how to make your IT solutions more reliable and more powerful.
Whether it is immediate help, Linux installation support, Linux troubleshooting, custom
web programming or the modification of an open source software product, we offer email
or phone support to resolve your query. There are a number of ways in which Kerry Linux can
help you to get the most out of
open source software. We will always strive hard to make open
source software work for you.
Open Your Mind to Open Source Software
When people think about the benefits of open source software for their businesses, the first
thing that springs to mind is that there are no license costs at all. Open source software
is helping you to save a considerable amount of money. That is true, and for small businesses
with tight budgets for IT expenses it is a compelling reason to use open source software.
But there is an even more important reason to think about using open source and that is its
flexibility and adaptability to your special requirements. For some tasks you can safely use
the standard solution - and there are very powerful ones, if you think of Firefox or OpenOffice.org
to name only two of the prominent ones.
