Scalix Wins InfoWorld Best Open Source Collaboration Award
Scalix Named Best Open Alternative to Microsoft Exchange
NEW YORK, NY – August 5, 2008 – Scalix, the award-winning Linux email, calendaring and messaging company, today announced that it has received the prestigious 2008 InfoWorld “Bossie” award for the best open source collaboration alternative to Microsoft Exchange.
After a highly competitive review process, InfoWorld concluded: “‘Enterprise’ is the watchword here, since Scalix does a fine job using Linux clustering and failover features for maximum uptime. Scalix’s AJAX console makes administration a snap, while the included Scalix ActiveSync lets wireless devices connect directly to the server for push e-mail, contact, and calendar updates.”
“We are honored that our Scalix alternative to Microsoft Exchange has received this prestigious InfoWorld “Bossie” award two years in a row,” said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. “As Scalix continues to evolve into a central enterprise collaboration platform and information hub easily accessed via universal clients of choice, I’m sure it will have many more honors to come.”
Xandros and Linspire are the only Linux vendors with digital distribution warehouses that let users download and install both free and commercial applications with a single mouse click. Together, the companies will offer the best digital software distribution warehouse for a variety of Linux platforms, including Freespire, which will continue to be maintained as an open source project.
