Scalix 10 sports new features E-mail and calendaring are among the top mission-critical applications, yet many IT managers are frustrated with their current infrastructure’s reliability, complexity, and high TCO. Launched last week, Scalix 10 addresses these concerns with new features, including high-availability clustering, 64-bit OS support, and a refined management GUI. Version 10 also gives the Linux desktop a boost with rich support for Novell Evolution. To achieve maximum uptime, Scalix 10 incorporates Suse Heartbeat and Red Hat Linux clustering — both included at no extra cost in the Enterprise Edition. For example, you can run an active/active configuration (on 64-bit servers) for performance; if a service on one server fails, e-mail traffic is automatically routed to another server. Like previous editions, Scalix 10 gives users a number of client choices. SWA (Scalix Web Access), the included AJAX-based (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) client, is virtually indistinguishable from thick clients such as Outlook. Added functions, including personal distribution lists and address books, mean that SWA can be the main e-mail application for many workers. Scalix Connect for Outlook lets existing Microsoft users transparently access the Scalix system, while adding digital signature support and faster search. In the same way, the new Connect for Evolution gives Novell Linux users full-fidelity rendering of messages created on other e-mail systems. Scalix 10 employs iCal protocol for notable cross-platform calendaring and scheduling. Users of Outlook/Exchange, Notes/Domino, GroupWise, and other iCal-compatible systems can view the busy time of someone on the Scalix system and initiate a meeting request.On the server side, Scalix 10’s new AJAX-based Administration Console promises to ease common tasks such as password and mailbox management.
