 New in 11.4.3

 

SAC has been extended in Scalix 11.4.3:

  • Delegated Administration - Allows the admin to define sub-administrators that can manage certain groups of users, as defined by a so-called mailnode. This allows departmental administrators to be defined. Also available in Hosting Edition, providing for full self-management of a hosted domain.

 

SWA offers the follwing new features in Scalix 11.4.3:

  • Overlay Calendars - Allows the user to see multiple calendars at the same time in day, week and month views. This makes it much easier to organize events and appointments in multiple personal calendars. It also allows the user to combine personal, public and other people's calendars in a single view for easier planning and scheduling.
  • Calendar Planning Mode - Allows the user to see multiple calendars in a planning sheet view at the same time at various scales, e.g. day, week, month. This allows for easy planning in teams, managing holiday calendars or doing team resource allocation.
  • Performance - Better useability through improved load times and multiple performance optimizations
  • Firefox 3 Support - SWA in Scalix 11.4.3 has been enhanced to work with Mozilla's latest browsers.
  • Theming - The look and feel - colors, logos and fonts - of SWA can now be customized to better match corporate identity or to blend in Scalix Web Access with overall portal design in hosted architecture. In addition, Scalix now comes with a new default theme, providing for a fresh look.
  • Theming and Localization Kits - Allows customers and Scalix partners to provide support for other languages, customized look and feel through themes and package these up to be shared and deployed in a clean and modular way.

Scalix Proxy Folders offer new functionality where it is possible to setup server-side subscriptions to in-house and external data feeds.

  • WebCal and RSS/Atom - Subscribe to newsfeeds and publicly available calendar data such as national holidays, industry events listings or sports schedules.
  • Public or Private folders - Feeds can be mapped to a personal folder in a user's mailbox, then taken offline or re-shared with other users. They can also be applied to a public folder for company wide available information.
  • Available in all Clients - While feeds currently need to be setup by an administrator, they can be seen in all clients once established. The server will manage the feed, providing user access through Outlook, SWA, IMAP, CalDAV and more.

 

Connect ActiveSync enabled wireless devices directly to the Scalix server without additional software needed on the device and use them for push Email and wireless calendar and contact synchronization.

  • Wireless Clients of Choice - ActiveSync support is available on Windows Mobile devices as well as leading smartphones from many vendors, including Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, Palm and Apple.
  • Flexible Deployment - The wireless service can be implemented right on the Scalix server or on a separate SWA or dedicated wireless gateway server.
  • Based on Microsoft Technology - The Scalix ActiveSync wireless solution is based on technology licensed from Microsoft, ensuring best compatibility and investment protection for future versions.

Note: Scalix ActiveSync is currently in closed Beta and will be released in 6-8 weeks

One of our clients Redhat Linux servers passes 550 days without a reboot. All of our Redhat servers have been extremely reliable. With the exception of changing UPS, Power failures and cleaners unplugging servers all Redhat servers have had uninterrupted services since they were put in. This represents an excellent ROI for the businesses that own these installations. Even when updating or installing new software on the server a reboot is normally not required.
