* Point-of-sale (POS) terminals
* Wireless and mobile devices
Benefits of Expanded Platform Support
For the enterprise, expanded platform support on Volution Manager simplifies software distribution and enables easy updates to many locations and platforms. For resellers, broadening platforms gives much-requested support for Windows, enables management of existing customer environments and adds additional value to reseller services. For customers managing point-of-sale, wireless and mobile devices, Volution Manager facilitates software distribution to thousands of devices in remote locations, easily creating system uniformity.
“Caldera’s move to extend support of Volution Manager beyond Linux and Caldera UNIX to heterogeneous environments stems from the requests our customers continue to make – they value Volution Manager and want to use it throughout their network,” said Drew Spencer, CTO, Caldera. “Whether pushing updates out to thousands of POS terminals or managing a multi-state and multi-platform network, systems administrators will soon have the manageability and control that has become synonymous with Volution Manager.”
“As a solutions provider, we are faced with the increasingly difficult task of helping our customers manage multiple platforms,” said Deepak Thadani, president of SysIntegrators, LLC. “Our customers are demanding a solution exactly like the one Caldera is creating. By extending support of Volution Manager to the Windows platform as well as major UNIX systems and wireless and mobile devices, Caldera is providing a greatly needed solution for stabilizing and simplifying IT management and security.”
Early access for Volution Manager on Solaris and IBM eServer zSeries will be available at http://www.caldera.com/products/beta/ by the end of May, and early access for Volution Manager on Windows is expected by Fall 2002.
