Eukairos Technologies Corp.’s new Intel AppUpSM Small Business Service Lets Small Business Users Pay as They Grow

ORLANDO, Fla. – Eukairos Technologies Corp has launched the Intel AppUpSM Small Business Service to provide leading technology solutions to small business users at a lower cost.

Karl H. Muhlbach, president and chief executive officer at Eukairos Technologies said the Intel AppUpSM Small Business Service is a result of a partnership with Intel Corp.

“The Intel AppUpSM Small Business Service allows small business users to access leading technology solutions without the initial capital expense of hardware and software purchases,” Muhlbach said.

Muhlbach said the Intel AppUpSM Small Business Service provides a locally hosted Intel-based server with a comprehensive catalog of business software, including Microsoft Windows Small Business Server, available through an affordable monthly subscription.

“The Intel AppUpSM Small Business Service is remotely managed and maintained by Eukairos Technologies via the cloud,” Muhlbach explained.

But Eukairos Technologies offers a critical distinction: data is securely housed on the user’s premises rather than an off-site data center.

“This feature provides users with greater accountability and security,” Muhlbach said.

Eukairos Technologies is a member company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation program at Central Florida Research Park in East Orlando.

SeaGate Homes Leads Again in Palm Coast New Construction Permits

PALM COAST – SeaGate Homes, Flagler County’s largest homebuilder, led the 2011 construction in Palm Coast by pulling 34 percent of the single-family home permits issued in the city.

Of the 20 builders who were issued a total of 79 permits, SeaGate Homes requested 27 of them, according to Michael Sawdai, SeaGate’s vice president of operations.

“Despite a slow economy we are happy to have pulled 27 permits,” he said, adding that the figure is as many as the next four builders’ numbers combined.

The strong 2011 finish even surpassed the previous year when SeaGate led the competition with 31 percent of permits issued.

Sawdai said he believes the high numbers for the 18-year-old, family-owned company partly are due to the variety of homes the company builds for a range from between $100,000 to more than $400,000.

“It also shows the confidence so many homebuyers have in our company because of the quality we put into all of our homes,” he said.
