Ruffdogs, a divison of Holonyx Inc., is one of North America's leading Linux-based technology companies. Our long standing expertise in Linux development has led to Ruffdogs' achievements such as becoming a Novell Platinum Partner and being named the U.S. support provider for Mandriva's (formerly Mandrakesoft) North American customer base. Ruffdogs has also developed our own family of products and services modeled on the Open Source development platform.
Our long-standing role of supporting the growth of Linux is very important to Ruffdogs. As we have grown, so have our many contributions to the Linux community.
Ruffdogs delivers a unique blend of expertise to our channel partners. This includes systems design, software testing, custom software and database development. We have exceptional Linux expertise, our engineers and programmers have over 50-years of combined experience working with and developing for Linux. We have written much of our own documentation, migration plans as well as training programs. Being an early adopter of Linux also led to our working with many traditional integrators to whom Linux has been an unsupportable platform. Our support and expertise has made it possible for value added resellers (VARs) who provide for small and medium sized businesses to have affordable systems solutions. This has evolved into Ruffdogs Channel Partner Program where we deliver the finest Linux solutions to our Channel Partners (VARs).
