UCS is a reliable, pre-configured Linux server operating system featuring:
Active Directory-like domain services compatible with Microsoft Active Directory; a mature and easy-to-use web-based management system for user, rights and infrastructure management; a scalable underlying concept suited for single server scenarios as well as to run and manage thousands of clients and servers for thousands of users within one single UCS domain; an app center providing single-click installation and integration of many business applications from 3rd parties and Univention; management capabilities to manage Linux- and UNIX-based clients; command line, scripting interfaces and APIs for automatization and extension
Thus, Univention Corporate Server is the best fit to provide Microsoft Server-like services on the cloud or on the premises, to run and operate corporate IT environments with Windows- and Linux-based clients and to extend those environments with proven enterprise software, also either on the cloud or on the premises.
The complete source code of Univention Corporate Server is provided under an Open Source licence. The software is tried-and-tested and regularly updated. For private users, UCS is free of charge with infinite use for up to 5 users and support is provided via the Univention forum. Commercial users can obtain UCS at reasonable prices and have guaranteed, individually adjustable support.
UCS features user, group and rights administration, an integrated IP management (DNS, WINS, DHCP), file and printer services. The included tool Univention AD Takeover allows the simple migration of a Microsoft Active Directory to UCS via the integration of Samba 4. The component Univention App Center provides further Univention solutions based on UCS, such as Univention Corporate Client (UCC), a centrally managed client operating system. The App Center also provides numerous Open Source products from third-party manufacturers, such as the groupware solutions Zarafa.
