Last week, we wrote about Research in Motion's 4.0 release of its BlackBerry Enterprise Server. This issue, it's Good Technology's turn. The company last week launched its GoodLink 4.0 server software with a raft of new features, including: * Good's Global Connect technology, which provides support for ��GoodLink on any CDMA or GPRS carrier in any country around the ��globe. * Management of devices through its Zero-IT-Touch Administration ��feature. The feature lets organizations deploy and upgrade the ��GoodLink software and other applications for Palm OS or Windows ��Mobile smart phones entirely over-the-air, with "no need for IT ��to physically touch the mobile devices - even the first time ��they are deployed," Good says. The Secure Over-The-Air (Secure ��OTA) technology aims to lower total cost of ownership and the ��complexity of managing wireless applications, the company added. ��Device support for the Zero-IT-Touch management feature include ��the PalmOne Treo 650, the Treo 600, XDA I, II and III (including ��Sprint's PPC 6600 series), the Samsung i700, and HP iPaq 6300 ��series. * Additional security features, including support for Advanced ��Encryption Standard, password policy management, role-based ��administration and FIPS 140-2 certification. The Secure OTA ��feature also helps erase and restore data for lost or stolen ��devices, and policy updates for anti-virus, firewall and device ��security applications for Palm and Pocket PC smart phones. For ��example, the software can help ensure that users have the latest ��security application on their device, such as Symantec's ��AntiVirus for Handhelds, Good says. * End user interface enhancements, such as a 300% boost in the ��over-the-air synchronization speed, and up to 25% increase in ��battery life. The software also includes Outlook-like features, ��including a Preview Pane, Calendar Week View, a Flag For ��Follow-Up feature and Out of Office Assistant enhancements. Good says the GoodLink 4.0 software will be available in the middle of the first quarter of 2005.
