All networks wired or wireless are built with experience and skills gained over twenty years. The more modern wireless networks one has to keep abreast with as they are constantly evolving to improving throughput and coverage. There is no connection like a physical connection though. This is a prefered standard in the industry. Wireless devices should be connected to the local network using a physical link. Wireless repeaters are not going to give you the best performance due to retransmission losses. Please read our wireless fidelity README.
Reliability: Linux systems are well known for their ability to run for years without failure.
Security: Linux is also innately more secure than Windows is, whether on the server, the desktop or on an embedded environment.
Total cost of ownership: There's no beating Linux's total cost of ownership, the software is generally free. Even an enterprise version purchased with corporate support will be cheaper overall than Windows.
Freedom: With Linux, there is no commercial vendor trying to lock you into certain products or protocols.
There are many aspects to ensuring the three pillars are met. Physical security is important and often the cause of information loss or damage. Loss through negligent administration and the lack of understanding is also high up on the list. Hacking is a crime but a crime where the scene of the crime is often undefinable due to the extent of the Internet. All these risks can be countered by investigation and evaluating the risks.
Many systems need automation: via alerting and monitoring. We develop based on the requirements you have. We can push / pull readings to databases and produce graphs of most measurables. Not only can these be viewed but acted on based on value.
Applications were always based on the server or pc however with the advent of faster more available networks web-apps are now more practicle. Also the fact that databases can handle intense traffic and servers can be spinned up instantly in the cloud.
