Benefits of High Performance

PostPath has created the PostPath Server, a commercially-supported Linux-based email and collaboration server that is the only plug-compatible drop-in alternative to Microsoft Exchange.

A key element of PostPath's approach is to enable lean infrastructure. Part of enabling a lean infrastructure is to create a high performance core software architecture that avoids the need for expensive hardware and systems that might compensate for a less efficient software approach while it also enables server consolidation where applicable.

A streamlined high-performance email architecture offers several important benefits:

Enables use of modestly priced server hardware
Enables server consolidation, reducing server and OS maintenance
Allows lower cost storage
Combined with easy backup and restore, allows higher capacity storage (more space for user data)
High capacity low-cost storage enables enterprises to reduce or eliminate the use of PST files if desired (PST file storage is effectively displaced by server-side storage), easing data management issues
Increases reliability - high performance comes from simplicity, and from a clear understanding of system operation, both of which are prerequisites when designing for reliability
