BlueSpace and Sun Microsystems Expand Partnership
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
BlueSpace Software Corp., a provider of messaging systems, and Sun
Microsystems announced that BlueSpace has become a Global Connect
Partner and that Sun Federal Systems will resell BlueSpace TransMail
Trusted Edition to defense and intelligence customers.
Sun Federal will be demonstrating TransMail Trusted Edition at the
DoDIIS Conference in San Diego, CA, the week commencing 17th March.
Sun and BlueSpace have been closely collaborating over the introduction
and rollout of TransMail Trusted Edition which fully leverages the
multi-level capabilities of Solaris 10 with Trusted Extensions and the
Sun Ray desktop. TransMail Trusted Edition provides the defense and
intelligence users with a unified messaging experience across multiple
security domains. The result is much greater user productivity and
collaboration without compromising security.
"Multi-level messaging is such an important collaborative and knowledge
based application for the intelligence community," said Bill Vass,
President of Sun Federal. "Our partnership with BlueSpace provides our
customers with infrastructure and critical applications that enable
them to meet their mission objectives faster, with less risk and at
lower cost."
"Sun has made major investments and as a result is a leader in
providing the infrastructure for secure, multi-level applications,"
stated Justin Marston, CEO of BlueSpace. "By leveraging the unique
capabilities of Solaris with Trusted Extensions and the Sun Ray desktop
we were able to bring a much needed solution to this market in record
time."
Edward Bryant, Technical Director at UCDMO, commented, "I see the
BlueSpace application taking advantage of the multi-level capabilities
of currently deployed multi-level clients, and this is a critical
capability needed to meet information sharing requirements."
In addition to TransMail Trusted Edition, Sun and BlueSpace are
collaborating on the BlueSpace Trusted Client Framework (TCF) which
significantly reduces the time and effort to create multi-level
applications. The TCF enables "mashups" of data and applications
running at multiple security levels into a single user experience
without sacrificing confidentiality or requiring expensive cross-domain
management, certification and accreditation processes.
Klaus Weidner, Principal Consultant at Atsec (a Common Criteria Testing
Laboratory in the US) commented that, "The Trusted Client Framework
uses a core trusted component which connects mutually isolated,
single-level application services to provide what appears to the user
to be an integrated multi-level application. This makes it feasible to
pursue a high assurance level with minimized security testing and
accreditation footprint."
Under the expanded partnership, Sun will resell TransMail Trusted
Edition and the two companies will work together collaboratively and
with other Sun Partners on sales, marketing, services and support.
