Each Openmail win against MS Outlook will open another
enterprise niche to Linux as the server platform of
choice.
“Hewlett-Packard Company and Sprint PCS have announced an
agreement to jointly market and sell HP Openmail Anywhere as part
of the Sprint PCS Wireless Web for Business. The combination will
offer employees of companies that choose to deploy the HP Openmail
Anywhere solution the ability to wirelessly access their corporate
email, look up names in their directories, and manage their
corporate information on Sprint PCS Internet-ready Phones anywhere,
anytime on the Sprint PCS all-CDMA, all-digital nationwide
network.”
“And Openmail’s Linux support means that any company adopting it
has the option of deploying Linux as the server platform, replacing
the NT 4 or Win2k servers that are required by MS Outlook.”
“The HP wireless email solution uses the award-winning HP
Praesidium Virtualvault Web server platform to provide secure
remote access through the corporate firewall. Sprint PCS business
customers will have the benefit of this built-in security measure
when accessing their corporate email whether they use their Sprint
PCS Internet-ready Phones or laptops connected via Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection.”
