New Scalix SaaS E-mail and Calendaring Slashes Costs by 50 Percent

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 4, 2008) - 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.
