Linux email provider expands globally
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Several hundred enterprises around the world have purchased Scalix for email since it became available early last year. The free, unlimited use version called Scalix Community Edition has been downloaded more than 5,000 times in two months.
Scalix, the leading provider of new generation enterprise email and calendaring on Linux, has announced that several hundred enterprises in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim have purchased Scalix for email and calendaring since it became commercially available in early 2004.
In addition, Scalix Community Edition, the free, unlimited use version has been downloaded over 5,000 times since its introduction two months ago and continues to gain momentum among a growing community of enthusiastic supporters.
Scalix was recently chosen Best Messaging Solution at LinuxWorld, making it a two time consecutive winner of this award.
Half of Scalix's customers are replacing Microsoft Exchange, with the remaining half replacing Lotus Notes/Domino, Novell GroupWise, SendMail and POP/IMAP email systems.
"First, they have either standardized on or want to move to Outlook, but they want to avoid the excessive costs and complexity of a Windows messaging infrastructure.
Second, many organizations are thrilled to provide a large percentage of their users with a robust web mail client that combines the power of desktop mail and calendaring with the ease-of-use and ubiquity of the Internet."
Customers include SAS/Radisson Hotels, Concordia Bus (top European transit system), the Cleveland Indians baseball team, Leoni Cable (global supplier of cable and wiring systems), Maico (premier provider of building technology systems), Optovision (German Optics firm) and a worldwide leader of network equipment.
Customers include the State of Massachusetts Trial Courts, Massachusetts State Police, City of Grand Rapids, City of Garden Grove, University of Florida MSE and Roger Williams University.
Scalix also recently expanded its global distribution by partnering with the world's largest reseller of OpenXchange, RICIS, Inc., which sells, installs, services, and supports Scalix through its partner network in 64 countries.
