Collax is now a Solution Alliance Partner of Fujitsu Siemens Computers

BEDFORD, Mass., June 28, 2006 – Collax, Inc. has announced a strategic partnership with Fujitsu Siemens Computers. The European leader in Linux-based server solutions is now a Fujitsu Siemens Computer’s Solution Alliance Partner in Germany. As part of the Solution Partner Program, Collax will receive marketing assistance, as well as benefiting from shared national and international sales contacts.

“Fujitsu Siemens Computers is Europe’s largest IT manufacturer, with a particularly strong public sector presence. The same profile applies to Collax with its Linux-based server solutions", explains Collax CEO Olaf Jacobi. “This collaboration will thus provide both companies with a solid basis, enabling them to use the combination of hardware and software to recruit new customers.”
“With a market share of over 22%, we have the second largest share of the German server market, and have been successfully working the Linux market for some time", notes Jens-Peter Seick, vice president, Enterprise Server Business of Fujitsu Siemens Computers. “And it is precisely in this market sector that our collaboration with Collax will facilitate the development of synergies which will primarily benefit resellers and system integrators.”
Collax develops Linux server solutions which can be operated and maintained without Linux know-how. Thanks to the broad function range, which includes file, web, e-mail, proxy and database servers as well as groupware, firewall, VPN (Virtual Private Network) and security (anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-phishing) functions, Collax's robust and cost-efficient server solutions are often used in public sector institutions.
