Founded in 1987, Castelle develops and markets products that enable organizations to easily implement Internet and Intra-office messaging, data storage and printing over local area networks. Castelle is one of the pioneers of application server appliances and over the years developed expertise to integrate most complex functions into very ease-to-use and maintain, "plug-&-forget" shared devices. Castelle products are more economical than comparable software-only solutions and do not require a large technical staff to install, operate and maintain them. The "plug-&-forget" nature of Castelle products makes them well suited to distribution through on-line resellers.

Castelle offers a wide variety of products. The recently introduced OfficeDirect family of server appliances includes a unified email/fax Messaging Server and a network attached Storage Server for small and medium size offices. The OfficeDirect Web Suite product bundles allow small offices to quickly implement shared internet access, email, fax, file/data storage, and print services. These convenient bundles combine OfficeDirect Messaging and Storage servers with an Internet router and a recommended DSL Internet service from one of our partners.

Castelle's FaxPress fax servers, designed for Microsoft Windows NT/2000, Novell NetWare and Linux-based networks, allow integration of fax into a unified corporate messaging environment. Castelle's LANpress family of multi-protocol print servers allows simple integration of printers into local area networks, and is compatible with industry leading administration software from HP.

The ease-of-use, reliability and cost effectiveness of Castelle "plug-&-forget" products appeals to both enterprise and small companies alike.

Castelle products are available through a worldwide network of distributors, value-added resellers, systems integrators, e-commerce retailers, and the Castelle On-line Store.
