“White Pine Software, Inc., (NASDAQ: WPNE), a leading provider
of multimedia conferencing applications for the Internet and
intranets, today announced plans to support the Linux operating
system for its MeetingPoint conference server, the industry’s
leading software for multipoint IP conferencing.”
“White Pine has joined as a Developer Partner with Red Hat,
Inc., the market leading Linux developer and service provider.
MeetingPoint, which is currently available for Windows NT and Sun
Solaris operating systems, will be the first IP conferencing server
solution to support Linux. White Pine has the flexibility to
develop for dynamic new operating systems such as Linux because
MeetingPoint is a software-based server solution. Other
videoconferencing suppliers operate on proprietary hardware
platforms, making future Linux support problematic.”
