Features available on the Third Light IMS ApplianceWhat our customers are saying...
"Third Light's installation package and PDF walk-through made installing the server a cinch. When we subsequently wanted to make changes our disk layout, Third Light's support team couldn't have been more helpful. Altering the location of the main data store and even porting the whole installation to a different virtual disk were all handled expertly, efficiently and apparently effortlessly. I commend Third Light for a thoroughly professional response. We couldn't be more pleased with the support we have received."
Ian Tolley - IT Manager, The British Postal Museum & Archive
"Third Light's IMS is built around a Linux operating system known for its rock solid stability and together with a high performance XFS file system our image library is reliable, scalable and delivers images fast to end users.
