TRADE AND SOFTWARE SALES

25 years of experience in open source innovation

ULX Hungary is a leading company specializing in purely open source software technologies. With a quarter of a century of experience, we help our customers increase their efficiency using the latest enterprise technologies, avoiding vendor lock-in.

Open source technologies require commercial activity just as much as proprietary software solutions, if not more. In the case of open source software, it is not licenses that are sold, but software subscriptions, which are complemented by commercial services that turn this software into a large-scale enterprise solution, a functioning system, or part of a project.

ULX's commercial and software sales service implements traditional commercial activities, during which these software programs and related services (such as implementation, consulting, training, and support) to our customers. In addition, our commercial activities ensure ongoing commercial relations with manufacturers and the search for and integration of new technologies and software products that are always characteristic of open source code into the software systems we offer. 

Global vendor background, local expertise

Our commercial activities are based on close partnerships with leading open source manufacturers in the global market. We don't just sell licenses, we deliver validated systems backed by manufacturer support.

  • Our key partners: As Hungarian partners of Red Hat and EnterpriseDB (EDB), we provide the highest level of access to enterprise software.

  • Complementary ecosystem: Our portfolio includes all manufacturers and software solutions that organically complement and complete Red Hat and EDB environments.

Focus areas: Data Center and Modern Cloud

Modern data center IT has moved beyond servers and operating systems; today, the primary issues are technologies that provide flexibility and scalability. At ULX, we recognized early on that changing expectations require a new approach and a technological and commercial focus to implement it. That is why we believe and put into practice that we should focus on the areas of the future (which, of course, will become the areas of the present over time), sometimes even ahead of customer demands:

  • Cloud-native and containerization: We are specialists in OpenShift and Kubernetes-based systems. We help you transition from monolithic applications to microservice-based architecture.

  • Hybrid Cloud Strategy: We deliver solutions that enable workflows to be moved between your own data center (on-premise) and public cloud providers.

  • Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC): Automated, software-controlled network and storage capacity deployment on an open basis.

Value-added commercial services

Purchasing a software license (subscription) from us is just the beginning of the process. Our sales team supports the purchasing process with engineering precision:

Licensing advice and compliance

Open source subscription models can be complex. Our experts:

  • Optimize license costs (Cost Optimization).

  • They ensure lawful use.

  • They help maintain manufacturer compliance.

Project management and system integration

We provide professional project management for our clients during the implementation of more complex systems, as we believe that a system can only be truly successful if it is managed by experts who are well versed in the products and technologies involved. We do not just deliver "boxed software," but in most cases we also undertake integration with existing corporate environments and systems, as well as the coordination of custom development tasks.
