Legacy open-source email infrastructure can no longer meet the demands of large enterprise email networks.
March 15, 2007 (Press Release) --
BROOMFIELD, CO, March 15, 2007 — ColdSpark™ announced an upgrade campaign focused on enterprise deployments of legacy open-source mail transport agents (MTA’s). The company has also made available a white paper that details why an enterprise should upgrade its legacy email infrastructure with ColdSpark’s SparkEngine™ Mail Transport Platform.
Legacy open-source MTA’s, such as Sendmail and Postfix, are among the most widely deployed applications in history. Given the demands of increased email volumes, security threats, compliance necessities, management requirements and operating performance, these traditional systems are becoming less efficient and more expensive to maintain.
"Today’s enterprises have email network infrastructures that are often significantly less advanced, scalable, or reliable than other business systems,” explained Kelly Wanser, CEO of ColdSpark. “Our customers are modernizing their mail networks to ensure they can meet all of their requirements while simultaneously leveraging email as a strategic asset across their businesses. The adoption of the SparkEngine by the operators of the world’s largest mail networks, including top financial institutions, indicates the importance of a new approach and the power of the platform approach to enterprise email infrastructure.”
The SparkEngine platform replaces legacy MTA systems with a powerful, flexible software-based mail transport platform. The platform offers an array of functionality and capabilities to support new requirements and improve architecture and management models. Key functionalities include inbound and outbound message delivery, internal message routing, policy-based processing, security, authentication, encryption, failure-processing, delivery optimization, advanced traffic management and logging and, most importantly, the ability to readily integrate applications and services onto the email network infrastructure.
The SparkEngine platform allows customers to:
• Intelligently process, route and deliver email rapidly, efficiently and successfully
• Average a replacement ratio of one SparkEngine for every seven legacy MTAs, dramatically reducing hardware and energy costs
• Optimize compliance with industry regulations and corporate policies
• Secure the email network perimeter, encrypt message traffic, improve trust for email correspondence and mitigate fraud
ColdSpark has published a new whitepaper, Beyond Postfix and Sendmail, which discusses aspects of legacy, open-source email applications that every enterprise should consider. This whitepaper can be downloaded by visiting www.coldspark.com/legacyupgrade.
ColdSpark has created the next generation of enterprise email infrastructure, based on the SparkEngine™ Mail Transport Platform (MTP). Founded in 2001 by email technology veterans, ColdSpark’s customers include Fidelity Investments, JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual Bank, Bear Stearns and Equifax.
