The Web is Meant to be Open

Since Voxel was founded in 1999, we have had a firm belief that open standards and open source software represent a better way to power and build Internet infrastructure. To us, avoiding proprietary solutions had little to do with dollars and cents, and has always been about empowering our customers through choice and control. Linux and its halo of related technologies simply fit the bill.

By supporting our customers with deep in-house knowledge of leading open technologies, Voxel's open solution stack tips the scale for customers in favor of transparent technologies. Voxel customers are able to link their applications and services with greater ease and speed while utilizing the tools that they want. With open source software, customers scared of vendor lock-in have found the greatest insurancy policy available.

It all Comes Down to Results

While philosophical issues are interesting, they're not sufficient to explain Voxel's obsessive attitude about your infrastructure. We're 100% commited to powering your infrastructure in the most scalable and reliable fashion, regardless of the brand name on the software box.

But the culture that breeds open technologies has also created the world's best web software -- from Linux to Apache to MySQL, and we're there to tune, tweak and support it as part of our managed hosting stack. With open standards, the results for our clients have simply been fantastic.

Linux - What's a Mascot doing on my Software?

Times have certainly changed. When Voxel first started in sleepy Troy, NY, we ran into resistance selling managed Linux solutions to Enterprise customers. The little penguin that could was viewed with distrust and confusion. However, 8 years and thousands of successful Linux deployments later, Voxel's managed Linux platform is known as a rock solid and high performance hosting platform. Startups to the largest multinationls power web infrastructure using Linux and enjoy:

  • No more vendor lock-in.
  • No more interoperability issues.
  • Complete control.
  • The best performance and scalability available, at any price.
  • All supported, top to bottom, 24x7x365 by Voxel.
