PostPath Demonstrates Significant Advances in Email and Collaboration Server Technology at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2006.

PostPath 2.0 - Linux Enterprise Email and Collaboration Server Demonstrates Advanced Interoperability and Infrastructure Support Using Open Technologies at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo

ORLANDO, Fla. -- PostPath, creator of the Linux-based PostPath Email and Collaboration Server, will demonstrate PostPath Server 2.0 at the Gartner Symposium/ITXpo in Orlando, FL -- October 10-13, 2006. PostPath Server 2.0 is the only Exchange[TM] alternative to deliver drop-in enterprise compatibility at the network protocol level with Microsoft[R] Outlook[TM], Active Directory[TM], already installed Exchange Servers[TM], and other email ecosystem applications such as BlackBerry[TM].

PostPath is pleased to demonstrate PostPath Server 2.0 (Booth #502) at the Gartner Symposium/ITXpo in Orlando, FL. "The Gartner Symposium/ITXpo is a great opportunity to show IT professionals from large enterprises how PostPath Server 2.0 dramatically improves the performance and reliability of their email and collaboration systems while slashing costs," said PostPath CEO, Duncan Greatwood.

Built around best-of-breed open-standards components, the PostPath Server solves the core architectural issues seen with Exchange, eliminating the need for a proprietary database, inflexible MTA, and last-generation Microsoft-specific web client.

For instance, the PostPath Server simplifies and improves the archival process by using the proven, open-source Postfix MTA to deliver internal and external traffic directly to the archive prior to saving it the server store. The benefits of this approach include message envelope archiving and distribution list expansion in a simple and failsafe fashion.

Disaster recovery is another headache for IT where existing email systems are concerned. PostPath Server 2.0 provides disaster recovery out-of-the-box using standard Linux technologies. Specifically, PostPath Server 2.0 supports on and off-site server replication and hot failover using DRBD and Linux HA, two open-source technologies built into Linux. The result is significantly better reliability and reduced complexity -- business continuity at a vastly reduced cost.

For users, PostPath offers the open-source Zimbra AJAX web-client adapted for the PostPath Server, enabling Web-2.0-style browser-based access to email, calendaring, contacts, and other functions, independent of the type of web-browser or client platform being used. PostPath web-access works seamlessly in mixed Exchange and PostPath server environments, allowing a web-client user to see free-busy calendar information for any co-worker, regardless of whether that co-worker's data is hosted on a PostPath Server or on Exchange.

"High-availability and advanced web mail represent just two areas where PostPath combines open systems with proprietary interoperability to deliver the best of both worlds, allowing IT to move away from lock-in and take full advantage both of their proprietary product investments and also of powerful cost-effective next-generation infrastructure," concluded Greatwood.
