Attachmate Corporation today announced that it is leveraging its expanded internal development resources to ensure that the company’s host access and terminal emulation products will provide the functionality needed to seamlessly integrate with, and take advantage of, the enhanced security, manageability and productivity features within Microsoft Windows Vista.



ebizQ received the following details:

Backed by a highly skilled team of technology experts, the aggressively funded Attachmate also announced plans to launch EXTRA!® X-treme v9 in November 2006. Attachmate expects that EXTRA! X-treme v9 will be its first “Certified for Windows Vista” host access offering, and is committed to ensuring that the entire Attachmate® host access product family meets Windows Vista logo criteria.

At the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2006 in Boston, Attachmate will showcase how the Company’s host access products will enable customers to secure data in motion and boost user productivity while easing migration to the new Microsoft Windows Vista platform. The launch of EXTRA! X-treme v9 will reaffirm Attachmate’s commitment to providing industry-leading terminal emulation and host access solutions that help organizations extend the value of their host assets while minimizing management costs and maximizing end-user productivity.

“The launch of Microsoft Windows Vista comes at a time when demand for new business processes and initiatives is requiring that customers increasingly rely on and leverage their valuable mainframe assets,” said Eric Varness, vice president of marketing at Attachmate. “Attachmate has the resources to ensure that our products provide the functionality and Windows Vista support needed to streamline emulation projects and drive business productivity. The launch of EXTRA! X-treme v9 will serve to further highlight our deep commitment to helping our customers maximize the value of their IT assets while taking advantage of new and exciting technologies.”

Support and certification for Microsoft Windows Vista will serve to enhance the entire Attachmate host access product family, including Reflection® and EXTRA!, helping mutual customers streamline host access projects to drive business productivity and lower total cost of ownership. With certification for Windows Vista, Attachmate’s EXTRA! X-treme, backed by the Company’s award winning technical support, will provide customers with a powerful and reliable host access technology.

"The Certified for Windows Vista logo program is a call to action across the software, device and component industry to help ensure our mutual customers have a great experience when using the latest software and hardware with Windows Vista," said Dave Wascha, Director of Windows Vista Product Management at Microsoft Corp. "By working to provide products that meet the Certified for Windows Vista logo criteria, Attachmate is helping to assure our mutual customers that its products are certified for the Windows Vista standards of security, reliability and compatibility, as well as ease of installation.”

More than 40,000 customers, representing over 16 million desktops worldwide, use Attachmate host access products to securely connect to and efficiently work with the data and applications required to run their businesses. Attachmate remains committed to helping customers maximize the value of their mainframe assets while minimizing management costs, enhancing end-user productivity and safeguarding critical business data.
