Bielefeld, Germany (March 24, 2010). SEH, a leading network solution vendor, announces compatibility with cloud printing solution, Cortado Worksplace. The complete SEH print server portfolio is the ideal hardware supplement for Cortado Workplace. For wireless networks, the SEH WLAN print server PS54a-G is ideal. When PS54a-G is installed in wireless networks, users send documents via their smartphones directly to the printers. The ThinPrint Mobile Division Cortado released the free application Cortado Workplace in February for Blackberry smartphones. A version for Apple iPhones is now also available. SEH has successfully tested the use and interplay of Cortado Workplace with the SEH print server portfolio, especially with the PS54a-G.
Cortado Workplace allows users to store important documents in an online repository hosted on a Cortado server. Users want to print their documents directly from their smartphone in many situations, such as training classrooms, hotels, in mobile and temporary networks during trainings, trade shows etc. Combining the PS54a-G WLAN print server with Cortado Workplace is a solution which is simple to install and easy to use in such cases. If the document is to be printed in a wireless LAN all the BlackBerry or iPhone user has to do is connect. Users can then automatically access all printers in the WLAN attached via PS54a-G to print their documents. With a base of more than 6,000 installed printer drivers, the Cortado Server provides the required printer driver for correctly processing the print job. This solution also works with all other SEH print servers and in wired networks, too.
"This is a really simple solution for everybody who wants to use cloud printing for their smartphones," Peter Herden, SEH General Manager, explains. "The combination of our print server and the free Cortado application works plug and play."
"We are excited to extend our longstanding and successful cooperation with SEH into the field of cloud printing," says Frank Hoffmann, Director Strategic Relationships at ThinPrint.
The PS54a-G WLAN print server is available for about 225 Euro excluding VAT. Cortado Workplace is available for free download at http://www.cortado.com/euen/EN/Products/CortadoWorkplace.aspx. Cortado offers the software solution Cortado Corporate Server for enterprise customers wanting to use cloud printing behind the protective circumference of their firewall.
