National managed Linux services provider and Open Source software specialist Synaq has entered into a partnership with Scalix, a US-based international messaging infrastructure company, to provide the local market with new Linux-based server infrastructure.
The industry alliance presents Synaq with an immediate opportunity to distribute and implement a new generation messaging platform that is a full Microsoft Exchange replacement on Linux and provides companies with the capabilities to collaborate in the workplace, including, for example, the sharing of calendars, online/offline synchronization and mobile device access.
"This is done at a fraction of the cost of Exchange with more stability and security," says Yossi Hasson, sales and marketing director at Synaq.
The product is targeted at a broad spectrum of organizations, with capacity to support businesses with thousands of users and those with less than one hundred.
Hasson describes the partnership as a major breakthrough for the company and the local market.
"We are very excited about this development. It offers us a significant opportunity to extend our reach into the market with a new offering that will add value," says Hasson.
"The introduction of new infrastructure will certainly add value to local businesses and presents options to enterprises that are planning to invest or those already investing in Linux or Open Source infrastructure. The solution is scalable so it adapts easily to the changing needs of the environment and grows with the company. The foundation is solid and cuts down on messaging costs by consolidating workgroup servers," he adds.
