Visit ClearOS

ClearOS is a Linux-based operating system for servers, gateways, networks, virtualization, and business IT management. It addresses the need to assemble a tailored server environment by combining the operating system with an application marketplace, so users can select the applications they need and pay only for those applications and support. Administration is handled through a graphical web-based interface.

The product is offered in several editions: ClearOS 7 Community Edition, supported by the ClearFoundation Community; Home Edition, focused on home office use with commercial add-ons and optional Professional Support; and Business Edition, built on tested code for production and critical deployments and professionally supported by ClearCARE. ClearOS Desktop and ClearOS Mobile are also listed, with ClearOS Mobile providing digital identity, privacy, and security controls alongside access to Android applications. Legacy ClearOS 6 Community and Professional editions remain available. The marketplace contains more than 100 applications, and ClearOS is offered alongside HPE ProLiant servers.
