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.
