There are 3 types of message store backends
- Those with a database
- Those with a file system
- Those with a mix
A store with a database backend is NOT a condition to have single copy messages store. Look for example at Cyrus daemon, Mirapoint, Critical Path and Sun... Still they 'of course' do support single copy message store. In addition Sun's message store supports single APPEND store which is of a KEY help when performing migrations from MS Exchange for example!
Concerning the question from Cliff from yesterday about an alternative to MS Exchange, very clearly Sun has 3 reasons for you to move:
- A backend software servers to support one million and many more users on the messaging, directory and groupware. Sun software servers are OEMed into many other vendors in the telco space for normal email, unified messaging, etc. etc. AND for some huge corporate levels. I won't list as well own many telcos serve B2B customers and do messaging hosting. Sun's software is here the clear leader.
- The Sun Outlook Connector that allows a user to keep MS Outlook client but see all Sun servers for mail, calendar, tasks, global addressbook, private addressbook, notes, journals, etc. like if this was an MS Exchange server. So no need to retrain your users and I can tell you it was exposed to the fire of real users!
- The Sun Groupware Migration Toolkit (SGMT) that allows you to SAFELY migrate the whole users data from MS Exchange (any version) with NO NEED to force users to change their passwords and no disk expansion on mail side with coexistence for user level, password, mail and even public folders. Again from real projects.
Let me know for an offline discussion if you need more details
Sun has the Sun Outlook Connector that allows MS Outlook to behave normally while there are Sun Messaging, Calendar, Addressbook and Directory serves instead of MS Exchange.
In addition Sun has a SAFE methodology and toolkit to migrate out of MS Exchange.
