The French Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries chooses Mandriva
Corporate Server 4.0 for its servers.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries chose to migrate its local
servers (about 400 machines) from Windows NT Server to Mandriva
Corporate Server 4.0, within two years.

This migration comes with a complete range of personalized services
(training and support). Mandriva was chosen to provide these services
which will continue over a period of 18 months and will potentially
involve more than 200 people in the ministry.

Corporate Server 4.0 was launched in September 2006 and is Mandriva's
enterprise-level server solution. It enables the deployment of servers
in just a few minutes - in any type of environment - providing
enterprises and other large organizations with a simple, open and
innovative distribution.

"We are delighted to have won this invitation to tender. This success
validates our French public enterprises strategy and confirm the
quality of CS4," said Francois Bancilhon, CEO of Mandriva.
