Lacking a better place, I think it’d be better to continue here.
I agree that the name “Enterprise” was not a good choice, but English in not our mother language and we are big fans of Star Trek.
Here’s the better definition of NethServer Enterprise I’ve come up with:
NethServer comes in different editions: a free version called Community and a set of products (which can be mixed together) collectively named Enterprise edition.
The Enterprise edition differs from the Community in 4 areas:
- Updates: automatic daily upgrades, field tested
- Support: professional support, by mail and phone, knowledge base
- Monitoring: remote monitoring and real time alerting, weekly reports
- Additional products: proprietary software runs only on Enterprise
A Community install can be upgraded to Enterprise with a single command.
Nethesis, the company sponsoring NethServer has above 1000 installations of the Enterprise version in Italy. Work is in progress to translate commercial material to English, together with a commercial offer targeted to SME consultants. The product “NethServer Enterprise” is ready and selling since two years, but the “control center” website and the KB are in Italian. We are now ready to offer support in English, but we still need time to translate the control center and the knowledge base.
I’ll try to answer all the questions, but, please, remember I’m a programmer not a sales guy.
