Philadelphia, PA — 25 February 2010 — LinuxForce, Inc. of Upper Darby, PA and IVAR Systems, LLC of Media, PA today announced a strategic partnership aimed at helping clients do more with technology at a lower cost. The partnership will provide customers with one source for a broad range of vital IT (Information Technology) services. LinuxForce℠ and IVAR Systems focus on applying advanced open source technology to lower licensing costs and develop more effective computer applications for business functions such as automation, communications and eCommerce.

The new partnership combines LinuxForce's expertise in remote management and support of in-house and hosted computer systems with IVAR Systems' executive IT management capabilities. IVAR's Managing Partner Laird Hariu is particularly recognized for his skills in systems development, network engineering, database application development and systems management in his 35 year IT career.

"The complementary strengths of LinuxForce℠ and IVAR Systems will allow our companies to execute complex IT projects more effectively," said CJ Fearnley of LinuxForce℠. "IVAR Systems is recognized for its expertise with FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) solutions such as PostgreSQL, an open source database; Slony-I, a PostgreSQL redundancy solution; firewalls; the Apache web server, OpenOffice.org, the office productivity suite, systems programming in Perl, C, and with the GCC compiler toolchain. IVAR's decades of experience managing IT projects will help LinuxForce℠ deliver more intricate FOSS solutions to our customers particularly those involving integration with more traditional software and hardware systems."

Businesses throughout Philadelphia and around the world are using open source IT tools to increase flexibility and control while lowering licensing costs.
