The first version of the Mandrake Linux Corporate Server, introduced in September 2000, was greeted enthusiastically throughout the enterprise sector. Today, MandrakeSoft presents its latest version -- 2.1. The new Corporate Server offers all the tools needed to create a full-featured enterprise network, complete with the latest up-to-date software and security updates.

The Corporate Server is unique among MandrakeSoft's range of products due to its extensive 12-month minimum development cycle. This longer than usual development and release cycle ensures unprecedented product stability and quality, as well as facilitating the certification process of enterprise-class applications.

"The first Corporate Server proved that MandrakeSoft was serious about answering the demanding needs of business and enterprise environments. With the new Corporate Server's longer development cycle and extended support offerings, our product fulfills the requirements of several groups of the industry's players", explains Frédéric Bastok, MandrakeSoft's Director of Marketing. "The Corporate Server 2.1 is specifically designed to be an 'all-in-one' enterprise solution that includes everything needed to rapidly deploy world-class Linux server applications."

Available now at MandrakeStore ( http://www.mandrivastore.com), the Corporate Server is sold under a subscription basis which includes the product, support and direct access to software updates. Two support options are available: the "Standard" option ($749) is valid for five incidents within a one-year period, and the "Unlimited" option ($1499) is valid for unlimited incidents during a one-year period.
