Cemaphore Defines and Delivers Email Continuity in the Cloud making use of the trusted, cloud-based, rich collaboration features of Google Apps
March 26, 2008, San Mateo
Cemaphore Systems, Inc. is reshaping the e-mail industry with the announcement of MailShadow® for Google (MailShadowG) that instantaneously synchronizes email, calendars and contacts between Outlook, Exchange and Gmail. MailShadowG is the first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) email continuity and disaster recovery solution utilizing the Google Apps cloud-based services. This breakthrough offering makes these business-critical services affordable and accessible to end users, SMBs and enterprises.
MailShadowG provides a unified view of e-mail, calendars, and contacts for enterprises, SMBs, and consumers that use Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. Leveraging the functionality of the enterprise version of MailShadow, MailShadowG provides any e-mail user with continuity, content management, and portability of their rich email. MailShadow’s transaction-based architecture synchronizes all content bi-directionally in real-time. Content is protected and can be viewed transparently from Outlook or via Google’s web interfaces for Gmail, Calendar and Contacts.
“Our industry leading transaction-based architecture, coupled with our deep expertise in Microsoft Outlook, Exchange, MAPI, and Active Directory make this solution possible,” said Tyrone Pike, Cemaphore President and CEO. “We expect this development will have a significant impact on the implementation, management, and archiving of e-mail content in the future. Initial response to MailShadowG has been exceptional among enterprise organizations. We plan to work with other rich email providers to offer similar SaaS services as MailShadow for Google.”
”The ability to integrate Outlook and Gmail will be extremely useful for a large number of users,” said Michael Osterman, founder of Osterman Research, Inc. “Outlook is the most widely used messaging client in the workplace according to our research, and Gmail is widely used for both work and personal email, as well as calendaring and contact information. Integrating these two very popular systems will benefit a wide range of users and organizations.”
For enterprises, the ability to eliminate the infrastructure, hardware, co-location facilities, and management of internal mail systems that are currently required to ensure continuous messaging uptime makes today’s announcement a watershed event. This news gives SMBs access to the same powerful continuity, disaster recovery, and support the largest enterprises depend upon.
These SaaS-based solutions will be available in coming months through a simple and affordable monthly subscription. While the first version of MailShadowG serves Gmail customers, Cemaphore plans to provide SaaS-based MailShadow for other key Email Service Providers as well.
Concurrent with the announcement of MailShadowG, Cemaphore is launching a beta program for users from any size company—large or small. Organizations and users who would like to join MailShadowG’s beta program can register at www.cemaphore.com.
