Tarantella, SiS Deliver Server-Based Solution In Asia

Tarantella Inc, a leading supplier of secure application-access software, announced that is has signed an agreement with SiS Technologies, one of the largest distributors of computer systems, software, peripherals and networking products in Asia. SiS Technologies will distribute the New Moon Canaveral iQ software from Tarantella in Hong Kong and Singapore.

New Moon Canaveral iQ from Tarantella is an application management platform that allows both expert and novice IT managers to centrally deploy and manage Windows-based applications. In the past few years, Canaveral iQ has garnered significant worldwide attention as a simple to use, intelligent and cost-effective application management solution.

Enterprises and government agencies large and small throughout Asia are embracing server-based computing for the value it contributes to the bottom line. Canaveral iQ reduces the time associated with managing and upgrading remote worker's systems and provides detailed, real-time reporting about application usage. By centralizing applications, administrators can easily manage the network and the timing of upgrades as well as allocate the ideal number of software licenses based on actual usage.

"Our reseller community has a dire need for products that both maximize budgets and ease burdens for our customers," said Kiah Meng Lim, North Asian president of SiS Technologies. "Canaveral iQ fills the void perfectly by providing an easy to manage and cost effective solution."

"Enterprises in Asia are rapidly turning to application management solutions and thin client devices to maintain peak IT performance at a reasonable cost, but also to address the pain points faced by employees and system administrators," said Edmundo Costa, vice president of worldwide sales of Tarantella. "We are delighted to work with SiS Technologies to expand our presence in Asia."

New Moon Canaveral iQ from Tarantella takes full advantage of the power of server-centric computing. In addition to reducing PC support costs, Canaveral iQ provides a centralized and highly scaleable way of managing software licensing and monitoring application usage. IT managers gather important usage information needed to help reduce the overall cost of excess PC software acquisition and service-level agreements.
