NEW YORK, NY -- 06/04/08 --
Scalix, the Xandros award-winning Linux
e-mail, calendaring and messaging company, today announced the release of
Scalix "Software-as-a-Service" (SaaS) solutions for Managed Service
Providers (MSPs). The Scalix Hosting Edition enables MSPs and other B2B
service providers to offer Scalix e-mail and calendaring solutions to their
business customers at half the cost of comparable Microsoft Exchange
solutions. In contrast to the subscription model of Microsoft Exchange,
Scalix has a perpetual one-time license fee. As a result, Scalix service
providers can pass savings on to customers, yet approximately double their
return on investment (ROI).
"The beauty of Scalix is that it provides full Exchange compatibility and
the broadest range of client choice, enabling us to support the needs of a
diversity of customers," said Alexander Pelz, founder of United Hoster, a
leading hosting company in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and
Ireland. "We can offer Scalix Hosting Edition as the scalable hosted
Exchange alternative to SMBs, SOHOs, and professionals."
"MSPs can now host award-winning Scalix SaaS solutions to deliver secure,
stable and compatible messaging services to their customers at an
aggressively competitive price," said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO.
"Successful delivery of SaaS requires intuitive software that elevates user
acceptance. Efficient e-mail and calendaring services are critical to
today's fast-paced competitive businesses, especially to the millions of
SMBs that lack in-house resources to set up such systems on their own."
This new Scalix solution enables Windows-centric MSPs to easily deploy and
administer Linux e-mail and calendaring services without the need for
in-house expertise or professional assistance, thereby eliminating one of
the greatest barriers to Linux-based hosting solutions. For further details
