PostPath, Inc. is the creator of the Linux-based PostPath Server™, the first and only email and collaboration server that is a drop-in alternative to Microsoft Exchange™.

The PostPath Server's™ drop-in interoperability means that it delivers full support for the Exchange™ ecosystem. Users can take advantage of the rich functionality of Outlook™ without client-side changes or user disruption. It works seamlessly with Exchange™ ecosystem applications like BlackBerry™ Enterprise Server and ActiveSync™, and can be managed with familiar Active Directory™ tools.

Further, interoperability at the network protocol level means that the PostPath Server communicates peer-to-peer with existing Microsoft Exchange™ servers; in fact, to the network it simply appears to be another Exchange™ server. This brings a number of benefits. For example, it enables server-to-server sharing of free-busy information between PostPath and Exchange™ servers. In addition, users can perform a controlled migration, with PostPath and Exchange™ servers operating simultaneously in their environment.

PostPath Server™ provides simple, cost-effective email archiving, flexible high availability and redundancy configurations, granular backup and restore, support for virtualized environments, and support for standards-based anti-virus and archiving systems. It provides up to 5-times performance improvement compared to Exchange™, cost-effective bottomless email boxes, greatly simplified manageability, secure high performance email routing with Postfix, and Web 2.0 collaboration.
