Worldwide Online Corp. Launches Linux Development Division

Worldwide
Online Corp.
recently unveiled its Linux Development Division with the focus of bringing
Linux-based application solutions to mid- and large-sized clients.

The
firm’s Linux experience dates to the company’s beginning in 1995. Since
then it has dealt with Linux and Linux support issues, and the new Linux
Development Division is an outgrowth of that experience.

“We’ve always dealt with Linux support issues, but until now most of our
customers have not been made aware of our expertise. There are a lot of
companies which understand the value of installing Linux servers, using
Linux as a network device, or even as a router or VPN enabler, but they
are intimidated because of the lack of commercial support,” said David
Emmerson, VP of Strategic Development and head of the new division. He
added that the company will guide clients through Linux related design
or implementation issues.

The new division’s first sale is a Linux/Apache-based firewall solution
for a large, national client.

“Our firewall solution, which we’ve dubbed LnxFirewall,
will block intruders, act as a DMZ for the client network and as a
repository for the latest, anti-virus protection software,” said Romeo Colacitti, president of Worldwide
Online.

Worldwide Online Corp. is a Toronto-based ISP and Internet Business
Solution Provider. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worldwide Data,
Inc.
