NethServer 8 (abbreviated as NS8) is a `GNU/Linux

10-
small offices and medium enterprises. Applications can be managed from a

NS8, is the evolution of `NethServer 7

NethServer 8 (NS8) is an application server specifically designed for
9+
small offices and medium enterprises. It facilitates the management of
10+
applications through a user-friendly web interface. NS8 operates as a
11+
container orchestrator, a system that can manage and coordinate the
12+
deployment of various applications.
13+
14+
One of its key features is the ability to host different applications on a
15+
single machine or distribute the workload across multiple nodes. This
16+
flexibility allows for efficient resource utilization and scalability
17+
based on the organization's needs.
18+
19+
NS8 represents the evolution of NethServer 7, which was a complete Linux
20+
distribution based on CentOS. However, NS8 departs from this model and can
21+
now be installed over different Linux distributions, providing users with
22+
more choices and compatibility options.
