Turbolinux Widely Adopted in China(Comtex Business Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) BEIJING, Jun 16, 2006 (SinoCast China IT Watch via COMTEX) --Turbolinux lately announced the deployment of Turbolinux products to build a reliable, high-quality platform for the Luggage and Parcel E- Government System for Qingzang Railway, and the adoption of Turbolinux server products for China Mobile Wireless Music Portal. The products to be launched for Qingzang Railway are Turbolinux Server OS and a high-availability cluster solution, Turbo HA, to provide an open and complete computing system platform solution. The hardware consists of an IBM server based on Intel Xeon Processor and IBM storage system. Qingzang Railway is located at an altitude of 4,500 meters and is part of the China Western Development strategy. The complete Turbolinux system is maintenance-free with automatic management, and features minimum running time, high- reliability and availability, ensuring uninterrupted 7/24 hour operations as required by the Qingzang Railway Luggage and Parcel system. To meet its requirements, Qingzang Railway selected Turbolinux to develop a consolidated digital infrastructure and operation management system. The operation will begin July 1. For China Mobile Wireless Music Portal, Turbolinux launched Turbolinux OS, known for its large-scale access and high load generation, Turbolinux HA, and a load balancing cluster solution, Turbolinux Cluster Software, with an IBM server based on Intel Xeon Processor that supports between eight and 16 CPUs. The launch is just in time for the 2006 Chinese New Year Spring Festival produced by China Central Television. "These projects demonstrate an important market expansion for Turbolinux," said Koichi Yano, CEO and President of Turbolinux, Inc. "We are committed to continuing to provide state-of-the-art Linux operating systems in China." This year, the Festival will provide CRBT (Color Ring Back Tone) service to enable the audience to download the performances. CCTV selected China Mobile to handle this service. Color Ring Back Tone (CRBT) is a personalized mobile music service that enables the caller to hear songs or other sound clips rather than the traditional switchboard ring tone. Festival goers can also send and receive short messages, color pictures, animations and WAP services. Turbolinux is providing much of the needed infrastructure for China's digital transformation. Linux software solutions from Turbolinux and its partners are helping form the backbone for both government and private networks that provide the crucial network infrastructure for China. Turbolinux distributions are designed from the ground-up specifically for enterprise computing. Turbolinux 7 Server was the first-ever to conform to Internationalization standards to help simplify development of applications that require multiple language support - a critical requirement for software distributed globally. Turbolinux 8 Server supports the Large File Support (LFS) standard for working with applications that manage or handle up to four terabytes of data - a common requirement for infrastructures serving Fortune 500 and larger companies. Such industrial-strength environments provide the basis upon which Turbolinux innovations were created. Turbolinux Linux operating environments run on a wide range of hardware platforms and configurations - on processors from Intel to IBM, and systems from thin clients to mainframes - and the company has partnerships and global support from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, AMD and Intel. Turbolinux embraces the best of Open Source, industry standards, and commercial software with products that integrate into existing IT environments to leverage and protect an organization's computing investments.
