Microsoft Corp. and Linux platform provider Xandros announced a messaging protocol license and collaboration agreement that will enhance the interoperability of Scalix e-mail servers with various mobile and personal computer-based e-mail applications that utilize Microsoft e-mail protocols. This agreement expands on the ongoing Microsoft-Xandros collaboration.
Both companies' commitment to protocol licensing and technical cooperation will help to provide more e-mail choices and value. By continuing their focus on mixed-source solutions, Xandros and Microsoft are demonstrating how protocol-level collaboration can benefit customers who rely on a mix of Windows-based and Linux systems.
By licensing the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol and the Outlook Exchange Transport Protocol, Scalix Mail Servers can now synchronize data over wireless networks with Microsoft Exchange Server as well as various e-mail clients that use these and other Microsoft protocols.
