*** Important Notice ***

Alero Technology stopped the development of Xtorm in 2005 and is only maintaining this product for customers that have not moved into Alero yet. As such, no new features have been added to this product. All new features are added to the new product, Alero, which is the next version and next generation of Xtorm (version 4.x). Xtorm products are only available in the Asian market and are distributed by Alero Technology Korea.

Xtorm was originally built by WindFire Technology in the USA (now Alero Technology) in a financial agreement with Alliance Systems Co., LTD. (now SpenoCom Co., LTD.) This product is used by fortune 500 companies in South Korea and Japan, including banks, telecommunications, insurance, government, and many other institutions.

Alero and Xtorm are very similar in concept, technology, architecture, and breadth. On the one hand, Xtorm is a proven technology characterized by its performance, reliability and manageability. On the other hand, Alero products are the next version of Xtorm, and the next generation. Xtorm source code was gracefully enhanced to extend the functionality of the product to a new level but still be 100% compatible with Xtorm.

Although these two products were exactly the same product (same source code), as time passes, the gap between both products will grow even larger. Alero Technology still maintains this product for our partners and customers in South Korea, but no new features are written for it. Every enhancement and feature written or fixed for Xtorm is also written or fixed for Alero, but any enhancement or feature written for Alero is only done to improve Alero.

Current Xtorm customers can swap the Xtorm software for the Alero software, gaining a myriad of benefits, and be running in no time without migrations, conversions, or application recompiling. All applications developed for Xtorm will run seamlessly in Alero. No changes in the applications are required. Alero Technology recommends that customers using Xtorm request Alero today and in the future. This product is far superior and provides a myriad of new features and functionality that Xtorm does not provide.
