The Easiest Way to Manage User and Network Resources!

Distinct Intranet Servers bring quality server power to your network with no additional hardware investment. These servers allow you to make use of your PCs to share important services among your users. You can exchange files with the advanced Distinct FTP Server, share printers with LPD, share files, folders and applications with NFS, facilitate network configuration with BOOTP and more. All these servers have an administrator login feature to protect your network setup from internal hackers.

Share Files and Applications through the NFS Server

Distinct NFS Server allows you to set up any PC in your network for file and program sharing by other authorized PCs in the network. By doing this you no longer need to install all application programs on each machine, simplifying the program upgrade process. From a central NFS server you can run as many licenses of a particular application as you have available. You can also share documents and other files such as databases on the NFS server and let the system take care of locking files and records as needed.

Upload and Download Files with the Distinct FTP Server

Printer Sharing

Reduce your hardware investment by sharing your current printers. Just install LPD on a PC and turn it into a network printer server. Any other system on the network running the Distinct network printer driver or any other LPR-based driver capable of printing to an LPD server can use Distinct LPD as its print server. You can even use the same PC running LPD for other tasks as it does not have to be dedicated to just handle the printer. Distinct LPD allows you to monitor the print queues, enable or disable spooling, configure job priorities. All in real time.

Remote Booting with TFTP and BOOTP Servers

With these utilities you can boot routers and communication servers off your PC. Your job as network administrator is simplified as you can use a single database to provide each system on the network with its IP address, system name, serial number, subnet mask and domain name server.
