Madison, WI --The Douglas Stewart Company (DSC), a leading provider of software and peripherals to the education market, announced today that it will distribute Kerio Technologies' Internet messaging and firewall software products for small to medium sized networks in K-12 and higher education institutions.

"The affordability and versatility of Kerio MailServer and Kerio WinRoute Firewall is well suited to the education market," said James Gudeli, Vice President of Strategic Business Relations. "As a leading technology distributor for education retailers and VARs, The Douglas Stewart Company is the ideal partner for introducing our products to the wide spectrum of educational institutions that could take advantage of them."

"As a premiere educational reseller, Technology Resource Center (TRC) has sold Kerio Internet security solutions to dozens of education installations with thousands of users since partnering with Kerio this past summer," said Jeff Weber, President of TRC. "With The Douglas Stewart Company now behind Kerio, at TRC we are excited about the additional support available to meet our customer's security needs."

Kerio MailServer 6 is the first messaging server to meet the needs of this market when it comes to collaboration. It features the Kerio Outlook Connector, allowing companies to use Microsoft Outlook for sharing and synchronizing calendars, contacts and tasks.

To ease migration from Microsoft Exchange 5.5, 2000 and 2003, Kerio MailServer includes the helpful Kerio Exchange Migration Tools that move all user data, email, calendars and tasks from Microsoft Exchange to Kerio MailServer. Unlike Exchange, Kerio MailServer 6 runs on Linux and Mac OS X in addition to Windows, making it an attractive alternative for any academic institution.

Kerio WinRoute Firewall sets new standards in versatility, security and user access control. It defends against external attacks and viruses and can restrict access to Web sites based on their content. Kerio WinRoute Firewall is scalable up to several thousand users and works with DSL, cable, ISDN, satellite, dial-up or wireless Internet connections.

"Kerio Technologies is a great fit for our K-12 and higher education resellers," said Jack Bahlman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at The Douglas Stewart Company. "Kerio MailServer 6 is a tremendous value, especially when compared to Microsoft Exchange in an academic environment. Kerio WinRoute Firewall delivers all of the security features schools need to safeguard their users and data, in an easy to administer product."
