PostPath Utilizies EMC CLARiiON

PostPath, creator of email
and collaboration server (other than Exchange itself) that seamlessly
operates with Outlook, Active Directory and Exchange, announced that in conjunction with EMC it has completed
integration work between PostPath Server and the EMC
CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale
series of networked storage systems. This collaboration provides
customers with new levels of performance, protection and operational
efficiency to manage email ecosystems.

The PostPath file-based architecture offers users high performance and
greater efficiency over those email systems that use proprietary and
complex databases. In particular, with the PostPath Server, customers
can easily scale their CLARiiON storage system, and leverage EMC tiered
storage, including Fibre Channel or SATA drive technology. In addition,
PostPath customers can take advantage of the EMC Navisphere
management suite, including snapshot and replication, to ease backup,
improve uptime and facilitate disaster recovery. PostPath’s
file-based email storage is designed from the ground up to enable
flexibility, operational efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership.

“Many PostPath Server customers already
deploy EMC CLARiiON CX3 networked storage systems, and our collaboration
enables them to leverage the potential of this combination of products,”
said Steve Erbst, vice president of worldwide sales and alliances,
PostPath. “This integration expands the
appeal of current PostPath products, making them a natural fit for the
many corporations that rely on EMC CLARiiON. What’s
more, over time we expect to find additional ways to make our products
work together even more closely, further improving and easing customers’
email data management.”

The PostPath email solution uses the file system directly to store data,
with no intermediate database. The store is very fast, with up to 95
percent latency reduction in comparative tests, backup is simple and
incremental, and restores can be granular to individual email. EMC
CLARiiON CX3 systems exploit the file-based nature of PostPath’s
storage scheme to maximize per-server data density, and to, for
instance, enable cost effective large — even ‘bottomless’
— mail boxes in the Enterprise. The PostPath 

“The integration of PostPath and EMC CLARiiON
CX3 series provides customers with a cost efficient way to manage their
email ecosystem by taking advantage of EMC tiered storage to protect
their growing information assets without compromising performance,”
said Paul Brown, vice president, Integration and Interoperability, EMC
E-Lab. “We look forward to working with
PostPath to ensure that our mutual customers have the highest level of
support possible for their information infrastructure initiatives.”
