Proginet Introduces CyberFusion Integration Suite Support for Linux on the IBM Mainframe12 July 2006
Proginet Corporation (OTCBB: PRGF), a leading developer of enterprise security software, today announced that CyberFusion Integration Suite (CFI)(TM), the company's flagship solution for advanced managed file transfer, now offers full support for Linux(R) on the IBM(R) mainframe. The company also stated that a major institutional lender has licensed CFI specifically for use with Linux in its mainframe environment.
"Linux is the fastest growing operating system in the world," said Kevin M. Kelly, Proginet's President & CEO. "Organizations continue to migrate to Linux en masse because it offers significant cost savings over proprietary operating systems, as well as greater flexibility."
"Linux on the mainframe is very important to Proginet's plans going forward. IBM has thrown its weight behind Linux and is aggressively promoting the platform across all of its server platforms including the zSeries(R) mainframe," he continued. "With Gartner reporting 'the number of applications supported by zSeries Linux to be up significantly over the past two years', CFI's support for the platform aligns us closely with IBM's strategic direction."
"Because Linux is open source, it enables organizations to drive down operating system costs - a significant corporate expense," said Kevin Bohan, Proginet's Chief Information Officer. "But substantial additional cost benefits are also being realized at the operational level through server consolidation. More than 95% of the Fortune 1000 are running mainframe computers in their enterprise; zSeries Linux promotes virtualization making it a great consolidation platform for these kinds of organizations. They get the reliability of the mainframe with the flexibility and cost savings of zSeries Linux. Bringing CFI to this fast-growing market presents significant new opportunities for Proginet," concluded Mr. Bohan.
