Zentyal, developer of easy IT solutions for small business, announced today a change in its release policy, adapting it to its clients’ needs. Zentyal will now release a new edition of Commercial Zentyal Editions every 24 months, allowing Official Zentyal Partners to offer top quality, fully tested and reliable products to their customers.
Each new commercial release from Zentyal will include the latest Ubuntu Server LTS (Long-Term Support) version, and will be periodically reinforced with Service Packs, upgrading the editions with new, fully tested features, security and software updates.
Under this new policy, Commercial Zentyal Editions extend their life cycle, receiving technical support during 4 and a half years, and will benefit from security updates through repositories specifically dedicated to these editions.
“This new release policy allows us to continuously raise the quality and reliability of our products, and our Authorized Partners will have the best tools available in order to deploy the perfect IT solution for each client”, commented Beata González-Blanco, Vice President of Global Sales at Zentyal.
Zentyal Community Edition also undertakes a change in its release policy, reviewing new features, improvements and software updates in three-month intervals – always including the latest available version of Ubuntu Server. Thus, Zentyal Community Edition becomes the technological laboratory where new features are first being deployed. When these new features are deemed to be stable, they will be integrated in the Commercial Editions via Service Packs, ensuring a long term quality service for all the Zentyal products.
“Our new release strategy represents a major step forward to all Zentyal users by giving our products a wider life-cycle through the integration of fully tested functionalities”, commented Julien Kerihuel, CTO at Zentyal. “The Community Edition becomes our technology showcase, where users can enjoy with – and contribute to – its development”, adds Kerihuel.
The new Commercial Editions of the Zentyal Server are already available from Zentyal’s Authorized Partners. Find more information about the Zentyal Partner Program and you will receive an invitation to to an exclusive webinar on Zentyal’s new offering.
