| AJAX-based email software vendor deploys millionth mailbox |
Jun. 19, 2006
Scalix, which makes email and collaboration software for Linux desktops and servers, announced June 15 that it has deployed more than 1 million mailboxes using its AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) based software. Scalix's Linux email client software offers full-featured desktop and web-based email and calendaring, the company said.
According to Scalix, the combination of well-received new versions of Scalix, broad geographic growth through channel partners, and increased demand for Linux and open standards solutions have contributed to the rapidly growing adoption of Linux-based email and collaboration software in general.
"Hitting the one million mark in mailboxes is a milestone both for Scalix and the industry, suggesting that email on Linux has reached the tipping point," said Glenn Winokur, Scalix CEO. "We want to bring AJAX-based webmail, transparent Outlook compatibility, and open messaging standards to the enterprise -- while fully meeting customer needs for reliability, robustness, security, and lower cost of ownership."
Over 350 enterprise customers around the world have purchased and deployed Scalix, Winokur said. Among them are some of the world's largest IT, retail, and service-oriented corporations as well as numerous government agencies and universities, he added.
Scalix's free Scalix Community Edition, which has been downloaded more than 30,000 times since it was launched eight months ago, has proven to be a popular item, Winokur said.
