An easy ECM appliance

Ingres, known for its open source database management software and support services, has announced the availability of the Ingres Icebreaker Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Appliance.

Powered by Alfresco's open source ECM software, Icebreaker is said to give businesses a reliable way to manage content more economically than proprietary software vendor ECM market solutions. As is the case with other commercial open source solutions, the Icebreaker ECM Appliance lets IT purchasers pay only for the software and support they actually need.

Ingres Icebreaker ECM Appliance seamlessly integrates the operating system, the database and the ECM technology. All are installed, managed and maintained as a unit, allowing companies to take advantage of an already integrated business-class open source software solution.
