Fedora is a very popular Linux-based OS. Created as a general-purpose operating system, Fedora is a secure and stable option to run on your new CyberStore Storage Appliance. Widely accepted as one of the smoother Linux distributions around, it is used by large number of developers around world.

Installation of Fedora is pretty simple and quite painless, however if you would like to avoid the process altogether you can have one of our skilled Broadberry engineers handle the installation process for you.

Fedora offers the most cutting-edge features, allowing you to use some of the latest and most advanced software. Both stable and flexible, this operating system would be a great choice to run on your new appliance.

Fedora comes with DevAssistant. It's a great tool that can help you set up the development environment and publish the code, all via very simple commands.

Fedora is one of the better performing operating systems available with strong performance matched with impressive efficiency allowing for smooth and consistent performance.

Well known for its speed, Fedora is one of the fastest booting operating systems around. Virtualisation and graphics are two areas where Fedora performs very well.

Its 6-month rolling release schedule is great for those who want a good balance between regular updates and stability.

Fedora is a secure OS with strong security features. The system includes a firewall that can limit connections, both incoming and outgoing. The kernel memory access is restricted, protecting it from being wrongly overwritten. Full disk and file level encryption are provided by Fedora.

Being open source, Fedora has an advantage over proprietary software as its source code is free to view. The chances of security flaws and weaknesses being missed by developers is less likely when there are a large number of eyes on it. Whereas with proprietary software the source code is unavailable to the public and can only be viewed by a handful of developers, increasing the risk of security tools slipping through.  

The latest version features a new modular repository. It allows users more choice over their updates, as you will be able to updates specific elements at your own speed.

You can install thousands of different software apps that have been created by the wider Fedora community. These apps are regularly updated, however by upgrading you will also automatically receive the updates, saving you having to find and update them yourself. 

As per the declaration of the Fedora Project, Fedora software is "always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.". As it is open source, it enjoys many of the advantages that come with that.

Because the source code is free for anyone to view, the software is more reliable and secure than it would be if it was a proprietary software. You already know what you are getting into when you use Fedora, everything is out in the open and there are no hidden secrets.

This option is very cost-effective, saving you money that you could have spent on paid software.

There is a large community of developers and users around Fedora. Finding answers to queries is easy, as online forums and social media is full of active developers and Fedora users that can quickly provide help.

Fedora is a very popular Linux distro, second only to Ubuntu. This popularity is a critical factor in why the community around this software is so large and active.

Lower Cost, Same Components

Broadberry enterprise storage appliances are on average 86% lower cost than EMC and 55% lower cost than DELL although built using the same leading-brand server components such as Intel processors and Samsung memory. HPE hard drives are rebadged Toshiba enterprise-class drives, the exact same models as found in Broadberry storage appliances.

Hard Drive Caddies Included

When you buy a Broadberry storage appliance all drive bays are supplied with caddies - so if in 6 months time you decide to expand the storage you can source it freely from the marketplace or ourselves if you wish. The only way to add hard drives to HPE servers is to buy the drives along with caddies from HPE for 200% the price of Broadberry's price.

No Ongoing Licence Costs

Broadberry storage appliances come with enterprise-grade features like IPMI included, whereas HPE charge large fees for perpetual licences for the same features.

Instant, Accurate Quotations

Our website allows you to configure your server online with accurate prices, as opposed to NetApp who require several face-to-face meetings with them before they'll give you a price.

Market Moving Away from Tier 1 Vendors

Over recent years there's been a massive move from the world's largest organisations such as Google to purchase their servers from the likes of Broadberry rather than DELL and HPE. This move is fuelled by the rise in commodity hardware.
