June 27, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Santa Barbara, CA — Versora announced today a distribution partnership with South Korean based IgetLinux, Inc. for its Windows to Linux migration software tools: Progression Desktop, Progression DB and Progression Web.“Linux adoption in South Korea is a major priority within many organizations and enterprises,” notes IgetLinux, Inc. CEO HeeTak Moon. “Our customers are asking for solutions that ease the transition from Windows to Linux and Versora’s software tools meet that demand.”
Progression Desktop is an enterprise-ready tool that migrates data and settings from Windows desktops to Linux desktops in a predictable and repeatable fashion. Progression Desktop automates the migration of data, email, user settings, office productivity suites, music, pictures, instant messaging, and Internet browsers.
“Versora is pleased to partner with IgetLinux to distribute Progression Desktop, Progression DB and Progression Web in South Korea,” notes Versora CEO Mike Sheffey. “Migration to Linux has been gaining significant momentum in many Asian markets and we feel our automated migration tools coupled with IgetLinux’s domain experience and local market presence makes for a great fit.”
Winner of a Linux Product Excellence Award at the recent LinuxWorld Boston Conference & Expo, Progression DB automates the migration from Microsoft SQL Server to databases running on Linux including MySQL, PostgreSQL and Ingres r3.
IgetLinux, Inc. will also be distributing Versora’s Progression Web which automates the migration from Microsoft IIS Web Server to Apache on Linux.
“Given Microsoft IIS Web Server’s costly licensing fees, security vulnerabilities and lack of flexibility, there has already been a massive migration to Apache web servers,” notes Sheffey. "Progression Web provides companies an automated method of quickly and accurately moving websites to the highly stable and secure Apache environment. What typically is a major project involving several days of manual reconfiguration and programming is reduced to a few hours when using Progression Web."
