Open software in open hardware To paraphrase the famous Greek sentence "healthy mind in healthy body"; Java-System uses "Open Source in Open Hardware" to indicate what's the final objective for an open system Usually we hear people talk about Open Systems but they are talking about software only but it's very important to understand that the system is not just the software Using a small unit not open inside a system (either software or hardware) compromises whole system freedom Open software in standard hardware Surely life is fulfilled of compromise Usually we do a compromise using hardware standard, hardware is standard when it is built by more than one company and there is no way to stop that companies to build that hardware (this is the case of PC compatibles hardware) This is not real freedom, but it's almost tranquility Usually develop a complete open system require a huge money investment and usually this is not what a customer want to pay, so it's better to use proven standard units trying to keep our choices as far as we can from monopolies The common compromise made by developer and designer all over the world is to use PC compatible hardware to develop open source software PC hardware is right now the most common used hardware, proven, affordable and absolutely cheapest available Java-System ethics You own what you buy You are not owned by the seller Java-System main business is to offer open systems to solve customers problems When a customer buy a product he need to become the real owner of that product, usually who sell products try to give as few freedom as possible to keep customers fasten to seller In this way the buyer is not the owner of the product, but instead he/she is owned by the seller and he/she sometimes must follow the decision of the seller Java-System as final integrator of systems feels this need for first, because even Java-System risk to follow this way; so Java-System quickly moved to manage as much open systems as possible our goal is to offer to the customer maximum freedom in choices of products and solutions from Java-System Out customers choose our services and systems because we try to continuously offer them new solution and competence and leave them maximum freedom in future decision
