Xandros SMB Server Beta Rolling Out
Diversity of Business Users to Test New Xandros SMB Server
Toronto,
April 19, 2005 — Xandros, the leading developer
of easy-to-use Linux solutions, today announced the beta sign-up
for their new, easy-to-manage SMB (Small Medium Business) Server.
The Xandros SMB Server is built upon the new Xandros Management
Console (xMC) which brings Windows-like ease of administration
to the Linux server market.
"Many
small to medium-sized businesses would like to migrate to secure,
stable Linux-based servers, but lack the Linux or UNIX server
administration experience to undertake the difficult task,”
said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. “With our new Xandros
Management Console, Windows server administrators can now make
the transition to Linux by using a familiar set of graphical
tools.”
“Building
a SMB server is a very tricky business, and each organization
comes with it’s own set of requirements,” said Ming Poon,
Xandros VP of Software Development. “We had to take many
uses and configurations into account in developing our server
toolset. Whether you need to set up an all-in-one server or
multiple servers running a variety of services, xMC will automate
many of your tasks and make administration a breeze.”
Xandros
is entering the final development phase of this exciting SMB
server project and is looking for beta testers with all types
of business application and service requirements, and all types
of existing core server infrastructures including Windows NT4,
Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and UNIX. The Xandros SMB Server
is slated for release in late 2005.
