NEW YORK, NY and SAN MATEO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 27, 2007 -- Xandros, Inc., the leading
provider of intuitive end-to-end Linux solutions, and Scalix, the leading
Linux email, calendaring and messaging company, today announced that the
forthcoming Xandros Server 2 will ship with Scalix 11 pre-installed. The bundled solution brings enterprise-class email and calendaring to the
SMB market, providing a broad selection of true enterprise clients such as
full feature support of Microsoft Outlook and Evolution, a Web client with
desktop functionality, and a Mobile Web Client that allows a broad base of
users to stay connected while mobile. A special Xandros plug-in provides
full, remote graphical management of Scalix 11. Xandros Server with Scalix
11 provides SMBs with a powerful and easy-to-use alternative to
Windows-based messaging systems, and will ship in April 2007.
"Scalix 11 ups the ante for enterprise-grade Linux collaboration and
provides Xandros Server with a 'killer' alternative to Microsoft Exchange,"
said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "Both Scalix and Xandros have a strong
commitment to the end user and a focus on practical bridging solutions of
today's mixed Windows/Linux network environments. Together, Xandros Server
2 and Scalix 11 provide a uniquely robust and practical solution both for
companies setting up their first collaboration solution, and for those
looking to escape their current proprietary lock-in by transitioning to a
standards-based open solution."
"The plug-in architecture of Xandros Server makes it incredibly easy to set
up and manage the Scalix messaging solution," said Glenn Winokur, Scalix
Chief Executive Officer. "We are seeing a tremendous upsurge in interest
from companies seeking Linux-based email and group calendaring with a full
set of true enterprise clients. The award-winning usability duo of Xandros
and Scalix puts an affordable solution within reach of hundreds of
thousands of small and mid-size businesses who have little or no prior
Linux experience."
Xandros Server 2 with Scalix 11 integration will be launched in April 2007.
