Storage, Backup, Availability

(Get the pdf of the Storage, Backup, and High Availability Whitepaper).

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

Email's strategic importance as an information resource continues to grow as do the requirements for storing, backing up, and restoring mission critical information. Similarly, email archives act as a central repository for the organization's important business and communication records and often must be retained for long periods and protected against loss or failure. Even smaller organizations are watching storage capacity grow from gigabytes to terabytes.

As a result, customers are demanding a flexible, reliable, and cost-effective approach to storage while maintaining a corporate resource that ensures fast, reliable, access to a tier-1 mission critical resource. This Whitepaper will review many of the basic architectural design, features, and capabilities of how the PostPath Server leverages its storage methodology to enable very large, fast data stores, flexible yet simple low-cost backup and restore, and a variety of high availability configurations that add a new dimension to the capabilities of modern enterprise email servers.
