FITS is an ITIL derived support system developed by Becta. For more information on FITS itself, please visit the Becta FITS pages.

Becta have provided extensive resources to help schools implement FITS including guidance on monitoring servers, but have not had sufficient resource to provide guidance on any open source server solutions.

The FITS team have welcomed offers of assistance on open source solutions, and will add any materials provided to their documentation. So, on with the work...
