Santa Barbara, CA – May 3, 2005 – Versora announced today an Asian Pacific distribution partnership with Singapore based Ferosys I.T. Consultants for two of its Windows to Linux migration software tools: Progression DB and Progression Web.

Winner of a Linux Product Excellence Award at the recent LinuxWorld Boston Conference & Expo, Progression DB automates the migration from Microsoft SQL Server to databases running on Linux including MySQL, PostgreSQL and Ingres r3.
"We’ve found that MySQL corners about 70% of the Asia Pacific open source database market and PostgreSQL the remaining 30%," said Ferosys International Partner Alliance Manager Julian Tan. "Progression DB is the perfect database migration tool for an Asia Pacific market that is rapidly adopting the Linux database platform."

Ferosys I.T. Consultants will also be distributing Versora’s Progression Web which automates the migration from Microsoft IIS Web Server to Apache on Linux.
"Given Microsoft IIS Web Server’s costly licensing fees, security vulnerabilities and lack of flexibility, there has already been a massive migration to Apache web servers," notes Versora CEO Mike Sheffey. "Progression Web provides companies an automated method of quickly and accurately moving their websites to the highly stable and secure Apache environment. What was a major project involving several days of manual reconfiguration and programming is reduced to a few hours when using Progression Web."
