Team communication on a Russian operating system: Pachca is certified for Astra Linux

The developer of the Pachca team chat app and Astra Group have announced a technology partnership agreement. As part of the partnership, Pachca has been certified for the Astra Linux operating system and added to the official Ready for Astra partner program in the communication software category.

"The Ready for Astra program was created precisely to give our users, from government institutions to businesses, a wide choice of proven, reliable software. Pachca's certification strengthens the ecosystem of secure enterprise solutions on Astra Linux by offering a ready-made tool for modern team communication," said Kirill Sinkov, head of the technology partnerships department at Astra Group.

Astra Linux is Russia's flagship operating system. It's built on Debian with a focus on information security and import substitution. Developed by Astra Group, it's widely deployed across security agencies and state corporations, as well as in education, healthcare and industry.

"Astra Linux certification makes things easier for our current users and for the companies we're now discussing a rollout with. It's also one more confirmation for us that all of Pachca's features run reliably on Astra Linux for our enterprise customers," said Grigory Lyubachev, business development director at Pachca.

The partnership guarantees full compatibility and stable performance of the team chat app on Astra Linux, which makes rollout much simpler for government agencies and commercial companies already using this OS.
