Linux Virtual Server Centos
Why you should consider an alternative electronic platform
About First White Paper
In this White Paper GeCAD Technologies, the developer sponsored by AXIGEN, an alternative to Microsoft Exchange. Although Exchange is a solid and robust platform for email, 150 million users at its base is installed, has a total cost of ownership higher than AXIGEN and offers no support for a variety of operating system or server-mode client access. It is important to note that the objective of this White Paper is to compare only the features and benefits of Exchange and AXIGEN not to denigrate the many features and functionality Exchange.
What should a second mail server-Do?
Email is essential for users and organizations. Virtually everyone who uses email at work understands the importance of this capacity for work. For example, we found a survey by Osterman Research conducted March 2009 study in which the typical user spends 152 minutes each day in the email. Based on itself in a day's work nine hours nine minutes in this survey, the typical user spending 28% of their day to do something in your email client. Interestingly, we found almost identical results for large and small organizations with only a minute difference in the average time spent with e-mail on a typical day.
Also to spend more than a quarter of his life in e-mails, most users can also view work email from home on weekdays after of hours and weekends. In addition, a large proportion of users accessing your email at work license.
Third Stage Deployment
While there are some similarities with the requirements of the system in small organizations, large corporations and companies, which are free email services, differences in the requirements that have any type of organization by e-mail features.
Low-end enterprise environments
To meet the needs of small and medium enterprises, e-mail address of the server must have a variety of important functions. These include the basic features and functions necessary to meet the needs of general email, including:
- It should be easy to install, configure and manage, especially for organizations or branch offices of larger organizations without dedicated IT staff.
- It should require as little additional expertise and infrastructure as possible.
- There should be a low cost, and management.
- You must be robust to protect security and filtering options against the growing variety of malware and spam traversing the Internet.
While Exchange can satisfy the demands of email to smaller organizations, has a much higher total cost of ownership (TCO) compared with AXIGEN. At the same time, the installation and server management can be time consuming for an inexperienced administrator. In turn, this adds no additional support costs, or formal training is required at the beginning of the solution of the base price. This is an important decision factor for most midsize organizations, particularly during the current recession economic.
AXIGEN, however, has a much lower TCO baseline and a free license for up to five accounts with unlimited support tickets one year is available. Despite the five-license is not sufficient to account more of the smaller organizations, a variety of online resources and sessions Free online training, the introduction of the AXIGEN for inexperienced administrators can support.
For smaller environments, change has to be applied also a significant number of requirements and dependencies. For example, the deployment of Exchange also requires the use and configuration of Windows server and a controller domain. While this is a reasonable requirement for Exchange and simplifies the management of the advanced features available with Exchange, you can not really justify a bet very small.
AXIGEN help achieve a much lower total cost of ownership is the fact that it is a variety of low cost or free operating systems such as Ubuntu, CentOS, and several UNIX-based operating systems. Beyond AXIGEN runs on 32-bit hardware, for a reorganization in a spare server.
Both Exchange and AXIGEN offers very good security. AXIGEN seems certain to be more, there are only two security holes have always been reported for the system, and both were treated within 24 hours. But it is unfair to the exposure of change compared to the malicious user community due to the dramatically increased number of servers Exchange in the operation and prolong the life of the server. In the end both systems should be relatively safe for smaller environments and larger.
High-end enterprise environments
Large companies with hundreds or thousands of email users have advanced requirements and are based on e-mail to a greater extent than smaller organizations, largely because many users are distributed geographically in these organizations. Besides the need the same requirements of low-end enterprise environments, large organizations in general, a sophisticated quality of service and more features and functions, including the following:
- Shared Calendar and permissions
- Detailed reports and utilization statistics
- Filters personalized message rules
- Easy to use with advanced features that emulate webmail complete customer experience
- Integration other network systems
- High availability and clustering based
Although it is actually a much broader list of features and functions e-mail of the larger companies listed above should be more than adequate to the nature of the requirements to be imposed scheme has been secured by a high-end email solution.
