LightningFAX™ for Sun® Solaris™ Released
Montreal, Quebec, September 8, 1998
Interstar Technologies Inc.® (Interstar Technologies), a leading developer of advanced fax solutions, is excited to announce the launch of LightningFAX™ for Sun® Solaris™ as a first step in its commitment to developing a strong and clear affiliation with Sun Microsystems Inc.
LightningFAX is a comprehensive, reliable and scalable fax server solution that addresses the needs of organizations seeking high volume, mission-critical and enterprise-wide fax solutions. Interstar Technologies has adapted its LightningFAX product to provide seamless integration with both Sun’s Solaris and Java technology, while including special drivers for Brooktrout Technology® Intelligent Fax Boards (IFBs). Among future plans is the inclusion of similar drivers for Dialogic/GammaLink® IFBs.
With a firm belief in the future of Java technology and the importance of cross-platform environments within the marketplace, Interstar Technologies has tailored this new version of the LightningFAX product with a Web-based front end that enables non-Windows-based environments to benefit from a superior fax server solution.
“Interstar is fully committed to Sun in every way,” says Eric Melka, Senior Vice-President of Sales and Business Development. “We are certain that this is just the start of what will become a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.”
The company's already impressive ranking by IDC® (International Data Corporation) of 3rd in UNIX fax server sales in North America and 4th worldwide, coupled with its intention of nurturing its relationship with Sun by accommodating itself to Sun’s market and direction, will surely result in a substantial increase in revenue when combined with Sun’s rapid growth and acceptance as the world’s foremost UNIX vendor.
Interstar's commitment to providing industry-leading network messaging solutions is a natural complement to Sun’s proven ability to meet the needs for full spectrum products within the marketplace, especially within the demanding Telecom, ISP (Internet Service Providers) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) sectors. With Interstar’s reputation of consistently meeting customer needs, LightningFAX will deliver the power, performance and scalability that is in keeping with the high standards that these sectors have come to expect from Sun’s developers.
LightningFAX's powerful foundation includes an E-Mail Gateway Module which fully supports SIMS (Sun Internet Mail Server), therefore rendering fax transmission as easy as sending an e-mail message and enabling organizations to provide users with a unified inbox for mail and fax messages - an important feature for both Interstar and Sun’s continuing efforts in providing value-added services and high performance.
Interstar Technologies is recognized as the innovative leader in the fax server industry. Strategic partnerships with established vendors include IBM Corporation®, Microsoft Corporation®, Sun Microsystems Inc., Ericsson®, Dialogic Corporation, and Brooktrout Technology Inc. These alliances have enabled the company to develop the most powerful, integrated fax messaging solutions available today. Serving as the superior platform in desktop faxing, Interstar Technologies' scalable and robust enterprise solutions have been implemented by organizations worldwide.
