Scalix Rolls Out First Stage of Next Generation Collaboration Model

NEW YORK, NY, Jun 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
Scalix, the award-winning Linux email, calendaring and messaging company, today
announced the implementation of the first stage of a new, flexible,
workgroup collaboration technology with a new 'Proxy Folder' feature in the
latest 11.4 Scalix release. Proxy Folders enable Scalix administrators to
channelexternal data feeds to any Scalix-supported client of choice. This new
technical capability marks the beginning of a paradigm shift that will
ultimately transform Scalix from a back-end email system into a central
collaboration platform and management hub through which users can access
anexpanding array of data, either managed within Scalix, or channeled from
external sources.

The new Proxy Folder facility enables Scalix administrators to set up
server-side subscriptions to in-house and external feeds of news, events, and
WebCal calendars, which users can access anywhere they go. Unlike competitive
collaboration solutions, that either require all data to be stored directly
within the system or connect to existing data only through desktop-side
integration of a limited set of clients, Scalix will provide a universal
server-side solution with centrally controlled access via any email client of
choice. Supported clients include Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird,
Sunbird
and Lightning, Apple Mail and iCal, Novell Evolution, and Scalix's own
award-winning
AJAX-based browser client, Scalix Web Access. The system also supports
popular mobile device clients from Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, and Apple, as
well as well as Blackberry devices through a third-party add-on. Microsoft
Windows Mobile devices will be supported through upcoming ActiveSync support.

Future Scalix enhancements will provide collaboration workspaces with
enterprise social networking features, integrated instant messaging, and
Voice over IP, as well as full, two-way Proxy Folders for accessing file
servers, Enterprise Content Management systems, and email archive repositories.

The new Scalix 11.4 release further offers optional Scalix AntiSpam and
Scalix ZeroHour
AntiVirus, utilizing Commtouch's real-time Recurrent Pattern Detection
technology
to stop viruses upon initial release, blocking up to 97 percent of incoming
spam without any configuration or spam filter training. The Scalix Web Access
client has a fresh new look, higher performance, and the ability to overlay
multiple calendars, making it easier than ever to organize a multitude of
events and appointments.

"With every Scalix upgrade we are striving to solidify our leadership
amongalternatives to Microsoft Exchange and stay ahead of our customers' needs.
Scalix 11.4 tops past versions with additional features and a
sharp-lookingWeb client," said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "I find the
overlay calendars
and Proxy Folders enormously helpful in arranging my continent-hopping
schedule and tracking a multitude of external and internal event and news
sources. I can access the latest updates from anywhere using my mobile device
or Scalix Web Access, and thanks to built-in, real time antivirus and
antispam, my inbox is now refreshingly clean."

"Whether you're using a PC, a laptop, a hand-held device, or simply
accessing
the web via your friend's computer, email and calendaring are likely to be at
the hub of your everyday work experience. Today, most people live inside the
client-side applications that deliver this information, and Scalix is now
taking advantage of this ubiquitous presence to turn all supported clients of
choice into universal workplaces, where people can collaborate by using
advanced methods of information exchange," said Florian von Kurnatowski, Scalix
Director of Product Management. "The result is an elegant, cost-effective,
universal replacement for the current crop of bloated, proprietary,
client-specific, corporate collaboration suites. This server-side,
client-agnostic
solution forms the heart of the Scalix collaboration suite. It will be simple
to administer, and open to existing and upcoming forms of backend
integration, based on industry and open standards."
