Dovecot Object Storage PlugIns available for online purchase

admin1 — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 07:25:58 +0000

The world of email storage is in transition: ISPs of the world are moving toward Cloud computing. Dovecot team has reacted to the market demand and has spent the last 18 months to enhance Dovecot with Object Storage capabilities. As the Email storage demand is growing 40% per year, the ISPs have to catch up with their capacity by adding more hardware, which is of course costly.

Dovecot Object Storage PlugIns can help by enabling the ISPs to store the email data into the Cloud, while still running the core operations in their own data centers.

We wanted to make it really easy to enable Cloud Storage for our customers, and now with the Dovecot Store, anyone can purchase the Object Storage PlugIns online and benefit from the affordable capacity available today.
The Dovecot Object Storage PlugIns are available for:
- Amazon S3
- Windows Azure
- Dropbox

More platforms coming soon…

Timo to speak about Cloud-based Email Storage at the Open-Xchange Summit

admin1 — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:45:37 +0000

Open-Xchange, our business partner is holding their annual summit 15.11.2011 in Berlin.

One of the key themes of the summit is how email services and storage are moving to Cloud. After fifteen years of very little change, the email user experience is being transformed. Technological advances in terms of “webification” of software, mobilization and cloud computing, combined with consumer demand are driving this change.

Timo will be talking about the next steps in email storage, explaining how Dovecot Object Storage Plugin helps to optimize the email server performance on Cloud storage systems like Amazon S3, Scality and Caringo CAStor.

Aalto University (Helsinki) solves their Microsoft Exchange problems with Dovecot IMAP Proxy.

admin1 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:50:40 +0000

As we all know, Microsoft Exchange, even if it is very popular on enterprise systems, is not the most IMAP compliant server. This is causing problems with various email clients and there is demand to increase Exchange server’s compatibility with the open world and the magnitude of email clients outside Outlook.

Aalto University got their problems fixed with the Dovecot IMAP Proxy. The installation took just a few days, and now the users can use whatever email clients they want.

Siiri Sipilä,  Account Manager  IT infrastructure services  Aalto University said:

„In Aalto University we provide Microsoft Exchange 2010 system as a centralized email solution. User base in the Aalto University is highly heterogeneous and supported operating systems include Linux, Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX and that is why we have several different email client software in use. The Project was completed on schedule and co-operation with Dovecot Solutions was very professional. The end result was that Pine and Thunderbird programs began to operate smoothly. Our goal was to give our users a better user experience, and I think it was achieved.”

„We created our IMAP Proxy to enable intercommunication with various IMAP servers and to increase IMAP compatibility of MS Exchange. Dovecot IMAP Proxy is a great tool for Microsoft System Integrators to help them to keep their Exchange systems to perform as expected“ says Markku kenttä, CEO of Dovecot OY.
