PostPath Emerges From ''Stealth'' Mode: Announces the Only Drop-In Alternative to Microsoft Exchange(TM)
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2006--Today marks the official debut of PostPath, creators of the only Linux-based email server to offer drop-in plug-compatibility with Microsoft Exchange. Formerly Apptran Software, and backed by Worldview Technology Partners and Matrix Partners, the company was founded in December 2003 to address the growing frustrations of organizations locked into Microsoft's cumbersome, expensive, and inflexible email server.
Until now, Exchange was the only email server to support Exchange network protocols -- the protocols required for full-featured interoperability with Outlook(TM), Active Directory(TM), other Exchange servers and ecosystem applications such as Blackberry(TM). As a result, enterprises have been forced to buy Exchange to support their preferred infrastructure and client desktops.
PostPath created an alternative by combining publicly available documentation with packet-level protocol decoding to implement the Exchange network protocols on the PostPath Linux email server. As a result, the PostPath Server is the first Exchange alternative to be able to drop into an existing Exchange farm without disruption. It is the first to interoperate with the server-to-server functions of already-deployed Exchange servers -- including cross-server free-busy -- and the first to provide full-featured Outlook interoperability without the need for plug-ins, connectors, or reconfiguration.
"It's no secret that companies would like to see an alternative to Exchange," commented PostPath's CEO, Duncan Greatwood. "This is the seamless interoperability and co-existence that IT departments require to enable migration."
The PostPath Server also solves the fundamental problems of existing enterprise email infrastructure. "We appreciate that the PostPath Server was designed to be simple, reliable, and cost-effective compared with Exchange. Moving the information store to the Linux file system simplifies storage, replication, backup and recovery," said Henry Jenkins, CTO of First American Trust. Continued Jenkins, "It's clear PostPath's Server was designed with business continuity and disaster recovery in mind."
"Enabling a five-times performance increase over Exchange and a six-fold reduction in storage costs, granular backup and restore, standards-based virus-filtering, archiving, clustering, replication and disaster-recovery, AJAX web-client support, and drop-in compatibility, the PostPath Server is the first truly enterprise-class Exchange alternative," concluded Greatwood.
PostPath, Inc is headquartered at 1200 Villa Street Suite 150, Mountain View, CA 94041-1106.
