“Corridor Software, a provider of innovative Linux-based
software for small businesses, today announced it will release its
Connection Server software on February 28, 2001. The first beta
versions are undergoing internal testing and will begin shipping to
qualified testers and resellers around the country in the next two
weeks.”
“The Corridor Connection Server is the first of several
components which will comprise the Corridor Small Business Server.
The Connection Server provides features which allow small
businesses to secure their sensitive data and network
transmissions, to connect their local area network (LAN) to the
Internet, and to allow secure remote access into their corporate
LAN via a secure and intuitive Virtual Private Network (VPN)
component. Using a flexible and powerful Java-based interface,
users can manage their server, connection, and firewall settings in
the familiar graphical Windows setting.”
“Corridor is built on the Linux platform in order to harness the
power and stability afforded by the open source software, currently
the second largest server operating system in deployment. In
addition, Linux boasts superior performance and lower cost of
ownership than either Windows NT (Nasdaq:MSFT) or Sun Solaris
(Nasdaq:SUNW). Corridor currently supports the Redhat (Nasdaq:RHAT)
distribution of Linux, with plans to support other distributions in
the future.”
