About Helmer Computing Corp.
Helmer Computing Corporation is focused on designing custom solutions for all your computer needs, based on principles of secure and reliable computer design.

Over the last 30 years, computers have gained a deserved reputation for being difficult to use, unreliable and a nightmare to maintain. The constant cycle of upgrades, patches, reboots, viruses, system crashes and the resulting downtime make all the vendors' talk of 99.999% uptime laughable for all but the largest of enterprises.

At Helmer Computing, we've turned the traditional ideas of system design on their head. Using StrongBox Linux, we create partially embedded systems, that beat traditional systems hands down for reliability and uptime. StrongBox is designed based on the following principles:

Fault tolerant: handling power cuts and data corruption
Easily reproducible: systems should be able to be replaced or reproduced
simply and painlessly
Fully Customizeable: able to be configured for exactly to your specific needs
Seamless: All services should operate seamlessly and easily, with less need
for constant maintenance
Secure: Breakdowns and breakins are largely able to be prevented through
tightly integrated access and change control


Our end goal is to create computers and networks that work like appliances. Take your toaster for example: it does one thing, and you don't care how it works. That's how computers should be; they should do their job of enabling your work, without you having to spend all your time adapting your work to your computer systems.
