The current enhancements include new operating system support for the six major Linux distributions: Red Hat, Suse, Mandrake, TurboLinux, VALinux, and Caldera. "Interoperability in all distributions is a must if we are to successfully expand our geographical reach among Linux users," Senior Marketing Manager Gigi Resurreccion said. By supporting the most popular Linux distributions, IMA aims to dramatically expand its marketing thrust for IEMS5. "Few major messaging servers could match the extensive features of IEMS5. Its anti-spam engine and anti-virus module makes IEMS5 ideal for mission critical applications, while it's ability to be operated in a distributed environment provide added scalability and performance" Resurreccion added. IEMS 5 focuses on providing a system that anticipates the varying needs of end users and system administrators alike. Through the use of advanced storage management, multiple and flexible access methods, user-defined pre-sorting and filtering, high performance message transport system, and a robust distribution list engine, IEMS 5 addresses the messaging requirements of most corporate users. The IEMS Beta Program is open to all interested sites. Complete product and beta information including free downloads can be found on the IMA web site. The beta program is expected to run through mid-June, 2001.
