Department of Education of the Government of Aragon  

80 Zentyal Linux servers are deployed in Aragon (Spain) within the School 2.0 Program

One of the main challenges of implementing the School 2.0 Program is the renewal of the network infrastructure of the schools to enable them to provide a safe and proper operation of the assigned computer equipment. To address this challenge, the Department of Education of the Government of Aragon decided to offer a common solution for all schools, with institutional support and choosing the Zentyal server as the technological solution. The main reasons for this choice were that Zentyal was open source software and professional technical support was available, provided by the manufacturer, making the project viable.

Moreover, as we now deploy a single server instead of many, we have noticed a reduction in the monthly electric bills. Zentyal is extremely simple to install, setup and configure. We have used the Microsoft product in the past and have found that the Zentyal is far superior in quality, functionality and most importantly, in stability.

OPAEF chooses Zentyal to manage different computer networks and users in an unified and easy way

This solution has allowed OPAEF to reduce significantly the time and costs required to manage network services of their offices. As the chosen technology solution is open source, all the software licensing costs have been removed. Moreover, the support for the deployment, training and maintenance was obtained directly from the Zentyal Development Team, but INPRO has all the freedom to manage the solution. From our point of view, this has greatly increased the quality and speed of the service provided to the end users.

Graham Cantin, System Administrator, Intrinsyx  

NASA subcontractor Intrinsyx uses Zentyal as a firewall

Zentyal allows Intrinsyx to leverage the Debian Code of Conduct to expose one of the easiest to use web interfaces, sanely setting up very complex services like LDAP, Email, and VoIP with a few clicks of the mouse. It does not prevent you from installing packages like vsftpd or kvm, and the up-grade to 1.4 was painless and quick!
