Mission Critical Email Server Features
|
Business Email Messaging
This solution configures all components with redundancies to provide a 99.9% uptime. Active Active relay servers: The MX pointers for the domains are pointed to the public IPs of Relay servers at the site in equal priority.
These servers either are Connect XF servers or may be third party security appliances or could even be a third party mail cleaning service. These relay servers or service receivs the mail from the internet, cleans the mail and delivers the mail to the Mail server for storing the user's mailbox. Similarly outgoing mail is delivered via the relay servers in fall back mode or the relay service.
Multiple Internet links:In such a setup it is recommended to have strong and redundant Internet links which terminate in a firewall that can do the load balancing amongst the links. Additionally the data center has to be carrier grade to offer higher reliability to the servers being hosted there.
Active Active Mail servers: Multiple state less mail servers are available to process any request by any user to provide hands free switch over in case any of the mail servers is to fail.
Clustered Load Balancer servers/appliance: These handle the switchover when a mail server is to fail using their built in quality of service algorithms to pass connections by users to the mail servers.
Scalable Storage: A NAS storage provides the scalability and reliability required to store the sensitive mail data and archive data.
