NitroDesk has informed us that it has signed a licensing deal with Microsoft that will allow it to fully integrate Exchange Activesync “Direct Push” technology into its current Touchdown Exchange client for Android.

Initially the new push functionality, which alerts users to new messages as soon as they are recevied by the Exchange server, will be available in a beta release of NitroDesk’s software. The company has said that it plans to put full Direct Push support into the next commercial version of its Touchdown software.

Nitrodesk has also said that the new Activesync license will allow for such enterprise secutiry features as remote wipe and restricting Exchange related databases from being stored on removable media cards.

Touchdown can be purchased direct from NitroDesk.
