ZYTRAX, Inc. announces a new initiative in the Open Source domain

ZYTRAX, Inc. today announced its entry into the Open Source solutions market. The company will develop a range of high-grade 'active' support packages to assist users to install and maintain Open Source solutions. The solutions will target applications hosted on Windows, *BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD) and Linux platforms.

"We have been Open Source users for many years and have built up a considerable skill base" said Ron Aitchison, President of ZyTrax, Inc. "This year has seen the release and maturity of a number of very high quality Open Source applications available on a wide range of platforms - notably including Windows platforms."

ZyTrax, Inc. has a long history of developing hardware solutions and products for its customers. As with all modern product development over 90% of resources are devoted to software development - using PC based tools and cross-compilation and de-bugging techniques. ZYTRAX in-house development and support systems are almost wholly based on Open Source tools and platforms. However ZYTRAX, Inc. is not only a user of Open Source software but has carried out a number of projects to enhance and customise Open Source solutions.

"We believe our acquired skill base can assist organisations and companies to leverage the advantages of Open Source solutions" said Aitchison "Our own experience is that these solutions can have a significant effect of profitability and we can help others to realise these benefits."

ZYTRAX, Inc. has created an Open Source section on its web site to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using Open Source in a number of markets.

The company will be launching a number of specific product offerings and packages over the next few months tailored to specific markets and varying sizes of organisations.

ZYTRAX, Inc. was founded in 1994 and is based in the historic district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The company specializes in IP networks and the Internet in particular.
