AUSTIN, Texas, July 15, 2009 — Pragma Systems, a leading provider of enterprise-class remote access and security software for Microsoft Windows, announces the 2nd Generation (Gen2) release of Pragma Fortress SSH Server 5. The new Gen2 code adds a wide variety of robust new features including session reconnect, multi-session support, multi-language support and Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and PowerShell support, and significantly enhanced speed, reliability, scalability and performance improvements.
"At Microsoft we continue to support our Microsoft Certified Gold partners in their development efforts and I'm particularly pleased with the latest server offerings from Pragma Systems, comprising Telnet with SSL and a full-featured SSH Server, both leveraging Microsoft's Crypto," says Otto Helweg, Senior Program Manager at Microsoft. "The Pragma team continues to show their dedication to support the latest offerings from Microsoft which include compatibility with PowerShell and Hyper-V, as well as their recent achievement of Windows Server 2008 Certification. In addition, I look forward to their work in expanding their SSH and PowerShell integration."
With Fortress's new capabilities, users only logon once and sessions are started any time without having to re-type their logon credentials. In addition, multi-session support is more resource-efficient as there is only one secure TCP connection. Session reconnect provides customers the ability to get back to the exact point in their application when a session disconnects due to being out of Wi-Fi range or network outage. Special features in the server detect when a handheld client needs to reconnect versus explicitly disconnecting. Many of these features are in high demand for customers in the Retail and Supply Chain Management industry.
Key Features of Pragma Fortress SSH:
- New Gen2 architecture for high performance, reliability, scalability and robustness
- Session reconnect for SSH server
- Multi-session support in SSH, SFTP, SCP
- Supports all Microsoft Windows languages
- Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 support
- Windows PowerShell support including remote execution and loading of outputs into shell variables
- Supports over 1,000 concurrent sessions
- Faster file transfer speed using any SFTP or SCP client – 10X increases versus competitive offerings
- Available in 64-bit, 32-bit or Itanium 64-bit offering Mainframe class performance from Windows Servers
"The release of Pragma's new Gen2 server technologies proves, once again, the power of aligning with the best strategic partners," says David Griffith, president of Stay-Linked. "Among the many benefits of Pragma's new release of their best-in-class telnet and SSH servers is scalability and multi-session support – allowing users to maximize the number of application connections per physical server. In today's economy that translates to real value for our customers who take advantage of the combined offering of our Stay-Linked thin client terminal emulation software with Pragma's newest industry-leading server technology."
"Our Gen2 technology strengthens Pragma's role as the leading Windows SSH server provider," says Quamrul Mina, CEO of Pragma Systems. "Clocking the fastest file transfer time and the only Windows SSH server to have earned Certified for Windows Server 2008 status are achievements that are bringing new customers and partners into Pragma's fold every week."
