Collax Moves To US, Gets Noticed
European founders take their open source startups to the US at pretty regular pace, such as Funambol, Xensource, and JBOSS. The latest is Collax, which is backed by Wellington and Atlas Ventures.
Its move appears to have merited coverage by several trade publications. In an article in the Linux Beacon, founder, Olaf Jacobi, delivers up some insight into the positioning and plans for this up and coming Linux vendor, while another trade journalist sees it giving Microsoft some new competition in vying for the server business in the small and medium sized business market.
Collax has on board Boris Nalbach, the former CTO of SUSE Linux, before Novell acquired it in 2003, and who was vice president of open source strategy in EMEA for Novell after the acquisition.
