Scalix this week at the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco announced its Scalix 11 email, calendaring and messaging platform for Linux, featuring Web services capabilities and a mobile client.
New in version 11 are two Web services: Scalix Messaging Services and Scalix Management Services. Messaging Services features REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs for email and calendaring application integration; users can integrate Linux messaging with applications such as content management, mobile solutions, CRM and ERP. Management Services features SOAP-based APIs to enhance the ability to manage resources from the Scalix Administration Console.
Also highlighted is Scalix Web Access, which is a Web client featuring a server-side search capability for finding information across mailboxes. A Google-style user interface lets users locate information such as attachments. Performance has been improved as well.
Scalix Web Access Mobile, meanwhile, is a lightweight Web interface enabling mailbox access for cell phones, PDAs and hotel set-top boxes.
New SmartCache technology insulates mobile users form fluctuations in their network by keeping information flowing continuously.
Scalix includes transparent Outlook support, featuring indexed search and improved mobile performance. Version 11 also features a migration tool to migrate data from the 5.5, 2000 and 2003 versions of Exchange and from other legacy systems.
