A Perfect PC Pty Ltd (Created in 1998)

A Perfect PC Pty Ltd (APPC) was created by Non Volatile Technologies (NVtech) to gain hands on experience in providing computing support of all natures to small and medium sized businesses as well as to promote the use of Open Source Software within the Australian Business Community. This company provided the means by which it was possible "field-test" the concepts and developments created within NVTech; particularly those theories relating to the cost-effectiveness and practicality of utilising Open Source Software in small business, largely populated with employees who had had little formal training in computing. A Perfect PC installed first Linux server at Materialised Pty Ltd, Blakehurst, followed in quick succession by another one at Brooks Irrigation in Sydney, Bryant Strata Management at Sans Souci and Strata Title Management at Kirrawee. Others followed at Materialised at Blakehurst, Ibbco at Cronulla and so on. Over a period of 8 years APPC installed more than 30 LINUX servers into small and medium sized businesses within the Sutherland Shire (South of Sydney, Australia). It is noteworthy that, unlike the Windows servers the company also maintained, none of these Linux servers ever crashed as a consequence of Operating System failure, nor were they ever penetrated by either viruses, Trojans or unauthorised visitors.
