| Source: Xandros, Inc.
HANOVER, GERMANY--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - CeBIT - Xandros, the leading provider of
intuitive Linux solutions and mixed-environment management tools, and
parent of Scalix, Inc., the leading e-mail server and solutions company,
today announced the preview of the all new Xandros BridgeWays Management
Console for Red Hat servers. The Management Console showcased at CeBIT in
Hanover and available for download from the Xandros web site brings
foolproof graphical administration of Red Hat servers to system
administrators that may have Windows Server skill sets, but with no prior
Linux experience, reducing overall costs by as much as 60 percent. The
workflow automation technology, developed for the award-winning Xandros
Server, has been adapted to the administration of Red Hat servers. Multiple
Red Hat servers and services are integrated into one single "Managed
Community" that can be remotely administered from supported Red Hat
servers, or from any Windows XP or Vista desktop.
"BridgeWays technologies hit the 'sweet spot' of businesses looking for the
best open solutions, but who may lack in-house Linux expertise and can't
afford costly outside consultants. Our ground-breaking solution saves an
estimated two-thirds of overall server costs by combining rock-solid Red
Hat Enterprise Linux with time-saving administrative tools," said Andreas
Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "BridgeWays Management Console for Red Hat is also a
giant step in our unfolding strategy to deliver cross platform management
tools that enhance the freedom of choice for administrators of today's
mixed system environments."
Xandros BridgeWays Management Console provides centralized user management,
system monitoring, and event viewing for administrators using 32- and
64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 or 5.1. The BridgeWays
Managed Community enables the management and administration of a host of
integrated Red Hat services, including high availability and load balancing
clustering, DHCP, DNS, file, firewall, FTP, print, proxy, routing, SELinux,
SSH, storage manager, virtual machine manager, Web, and Windows networking.
Showcased at CeBIT
The preview of the Xandros BridgeWays Management Console for Red Hat is
showcased at the Xandros booth at CeBIT Hanover, March 4-9, Hall / Halle 5,
Linuxpark, Booth/Stand G57. The unsupported preview release is also
available as a free download from the Xandros web site at www.xandros.com.
The full BridgeWays for Red Hat rollout is slated for the second quarter of
2008, with support for Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to follow.
