Apache WebServer Powered by GlobalSolutions
Apache is the most widely used web server software. It is fast, reliable, and secure. It can be highly customized to meet the needs of many different environments by using extensions and modules. At GlobalSolutions, we have made this web server production-ready with a hardened image — removing all existing vulnerabilities and enabling the required performance tweaks. You will also be able to monitor the server status directly from the desktop.
