HELIOS UB+ Available for Test Drive

June 25, 2007: The first public previous of the HELIOS Unbreakable Server, HELIOS UB+, has been released, giving curious companies a chance to test drive the anticipated solution before its full release later this year.

Free to download, HELIOS UB+ is a cross-platform solution that includes HELIOS WebShare UB+, a file server for web clients that the company claims offers “the highest security and performance” for enterprises, government, universities and prepress sites.

The solution takes advantage of Web 2.0 technology and features customisable user interfaces, extensive access controls with audit trail, and extremely fast file searching. Next to these features, the company says that WebShare’s action scripts enable custom processing of files and integration with HELIOS ImageServer, PDF HandShake and PrintPreview for remote image conversion, PDF preflighting, and print job proofing.

“WebShare UB+ offers a completely new approach to file sharing,” said Dr. Martin Reinders, head of development at HELIOS. “WebShare UB+ now offers customer branding, custom action scripts, and a new preview and proofing mode… [enabling] companies of every type to increase service to customers while increasing profits.”

“UB+ continues the success of HELIOS Software's fast, reliable, and secure server software,” said Helmut Tschemernjak, president of HELIOS Software GmbH. “By providing a public preview of UB+, we invite everyone to explore the great new features and to provide feedback.”

The preview will run on all major server platforms, including Mac OS X, Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UNIX and Windows Server.
