ClearOS is based on CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ,[5] designed for use in small and medium enterprises as a network gateway and network server with a web-based administration interface.[6] It is positioned as an alternative to Windows Small Business Server .[7] ClearOS is the successor to ClarkConnect. The software is built by ClearFoundation , and support services can be purchased from ClearCenter .[8] ClearOS 5.1 removes previous limitations to mail, DMZ , and MultiWAN functions.[9]
As of the ClearOS 6.1 release, the distribution is a full-featured operating system for gateway, network and servers built from source packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.[10] [11] [12]
ClearOS aims to replace, as a small business server, Windows SBS .[13]
