Open Source and Free

The open source revolution in the software industry has made it possible to provide ClearOS at no cost. Among other features, antivirus, antispam, VPN and content filtering are built right into the software -- no need for expensive third party add-ons. With ClearOS, you can avoid costly vendor lock-in and proprietary formats; instead, you can embrace open standards and protocols.

Professional Support

Along with online documentation, you will find an active community ready to help find your way. Open source is great, but where do you go for help with installation, support, consulting and professional services? Let me introduce you to ClearCenter. Not only will you find 24x7 ClearCARE support from ClearCenter, but also a growing army of ClearCenter partners to help with installation, onsite support, professional services and that all important ongoing maintenance.
