Firegate Server
The Firegate Server from Wiresoft
is a self-managing server operating system designed for small and
mid-sized businesses. It securely connects offices to the Internet and to
each other, protecting valuable electronic information. Office staff can
securely surf the web, send and receive email, host the company Web site,
share files, host a customer database, and more. It is controlled through
a simple Web browser or mobile telephone interface and managed by an
artificial intelligence-based administration service. This package
is a Linux-based system which also contains proprietary software.
The Firegate Server, SMB
Edition 7.1, was released September 25, 2002.

Self-managing systems make much sense
Posted Sep 27, 2002 19:45 UTC (Fri) by wiresoft (guest, #4753) [Link]
Wanted to point out that without "self-managing" systems like Wiresoft has developed, the world will be a crummy place to compute in a few years. Read a study from IBM that says there will be over 1 Billion systems that will need over 200 Million admins in less than a decade. There is no possible way we will train that many people in time. There are currently around 20 million admins in the world today.
