About MailShadow™
MailShadow eases the pain of Microsoft Exchange Server centralization by restoring LAN-speed messaging to remote offices. MailShadow intelligently replicates all Exchange content, including calendars, contacts, public folders and remote user mailboxes. Messages and other Exchange content can then be retrieved at LAN speeds by Outlook users who work at that remote location.
MailShadow is deployed on a Windows server at each remote site. Pricing is based on an annual fee for each Outlook client using the Exchange transaction cache.
