| + | The <span class="plainlinks">[http://koozali.org '''Koozali Foundation Inc.''']</span> is a nonprofit corporation that governs the open source Koozali SME Server project. Koozali SME Server is a stable, secure and easy to use/manage linux server that provides common server functionalities out of the box. Many open source contributions are available that can extend the default server functionality making Koozali SME Server an even more powerful and flexible business server solution. Thousands of Koozali SME Severs have been deployed as real or virtual servers and in the cloud to serve many small to medium enterprises, and this number is growing day by day. The Koozali SME Server is '''free to use''' but it takes a lot of '''effort and money''' to develop, make, and maintain. We therefore ask you for your considerations. |
