Kerio MailServer 6.5 Leads the Way in Open Standards Calendar and Message Synchronisation

New Features Increase Performance, Enhance Synchronisation and Provide Greater Access to Data Anytime from Anywhere

San Jose, CA, USA – February 19, 2008 – Kerio Technologies Inc., a provider of award winning Internet security and messaging software, today announced the release of Kerio MailServer 6.5. Kerio MailServer™ is a leading solution that allows organisations to deploy secure, highly available, collaborative, flexible messaging and calendaring with minimal administration. The major enhancements include a cross-platform CalDAV server and expanded Kerio Outlook Connector.

Kerio MailServer’s CalDAV server is the first CalDAV implementation to address the lack of interoperability in businesses with mixed platforms. Other calendaring systems limit businesses to certain calendaring applications, inhibiting collaboration and business. Kerio MailServer is a bridge translating proprietary and open calendar standards for multiple scheduling solutions, including Microsoft Outlook™, Microsoft Entourage, Apple iCal or Windows Mobile and Palm Treo smartphones.

“With the robust CalDAV offering built into Kerio MailServer 6.5, every PC or Mac user in a collaboration-centric organisation has the freedom to choose virtually any calendar application to schedule and accept meetings,” said Michael Osterman, Osterman Research. “In today’s dynamically changing market, interoperability between proprietary and open standards is critical for growing organisations where people use tools of choice to achieve their goals.”

“As a key member of the CalConnect consortium, we contributed to the CalDAV protocol initiative, an open calendaring standard in the industry. Due to our deep expertise with proprietary and open groupware protocols, we have added the ability to connect MAPI and CalDAV environments, enabling calendaring interoperability among Windows, Mac and Linux,” said Martin Viktora, CTO of Kerio Technologies, Inc. “With our high performing Kerio Outlook Connector, we are the only competitive alternative available to replace Microsoft Exchange for the SMB market. Our solution removes the burden of Exchange and provides innovative groupware collaboration.”

The enhanced Kerio Outlook Connector, Kerio’s extension of Outlook, synchronises email with Kerio MailServer, and provides users with total access to email and PIM data. Groupware information saved in the new offline data store enables mobile Outlook users to easily transition between locations with and without Internet access. The local data store significantly improves the full-text search capabilities. This new search option allows users to instantly locate messages using keywords in the text or subject header either directly inside Outlook or using Google Desktop. The Kerio Outlook Connector supports Outlook XP, 2003 and 2007.

“Kerio MailServer 6.5 provides the Outlook capabilities that users demand, without the hassle of managing Exchange,” said Chris Saylor of The Ncisive Group, an IT consulting firm. “Kerio’s enhanced support for Outlook’s groupware client makes critical data immediately accessible to our field technician and sales people while they are on the road.”

Kerio MailServer provides direct connectivity with Microsoft ActiveSync enabled mobile devices such as Windows Mobile, Palm Treo, and Symbian. The solution delivers innovative mobile groupware functionality, anti-virus and anti-spam protection, user management through Active Directory or Open Directory and integrated automatic backup and archiving.

Kerio MailServer 6.5 achieved the highest quality standards with the Certification for Windows Vista. The certification designates KerioMailServer 6.5 as an application that has passed rigorous testing for reliability, security, and compatibility to run on Windows Vista and future operating systems.

Pricing and Availability
Kerio MailServer 6.5 is immediately available on the following platforms: Windows, Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux, Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The base license for the product includes 10 user accounts and starts at $499 for the standard version or $599 with integrated McAfee Anti-Virus for bi-directional scanning of all email.
