Linux Migration Agent Network Server Edition simultaneously migrates multiple desktop computers from Windows to Linux using a centralized, programmable server. Thin Client Migration Agent simultaneously migrates multiple fat client systems to thin client systems using a centralized, programmable server.

Interviewed by SYS-CON.TV at Web Services Edge East 2005, VP of Engineer Luis Aguilar Lemarroy told interviewer Jeremy Geelan that the role of Alacos is often likened to being "the aspirin of the IT world."

Alacos, based in Seattle, develops state of the art migration software and provides professional Linux migration assessment and consulting and has spent the last 18 months developing a robust software program to automate and manage desktop and server migration.

"The program saves businesses and individuals time and money through increased efficiency," said Aguilar in his previous interview, who pointed out that the factors involved in a successful migration include eliminating fear of change among the executives concerned, assuring them that the transition will be smooth and the result will be a better system.

"A lot of corporations ask us when is Linux going to be ready for the enterprise," he added. "But I always say, well when was Windows ever ready for the enterprise?"

Aguilar will be interviewed again today by SYS-CON.TV at LinuxWorld Expo 2005 in San Francisco.
