August 28, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Sendmail, Inc. (sendmail.com), a
r
leading provider of Internet messaging solutions,
r
announced yesterday the immediate availability of its
r
complete line of products for Linux on the IBM
r
mainframe. Sendmail Switch, Sendmail Advanced Message
r
Server and Sendmail Mobile Message Server on Linux for
r
the mainframe provide cost-effective email systems
r
with high scalability, reliability and manageability.
r
r
Performance tests conducted by Sendmail, Inc. and IBM
r
demonstrate that a single IBM eServer z900 mainframe
r
can support more than 2 million users, making it the
r
largest single-server email systems on Linux available
r
in the industry. For organizations requiring larger
r
environments, Sendmail’s cluster architecture allows
r
customers to harness multiple mainframes to
r
transparently serve an even greater number of users.
r
r
“Service providers and a growing number of enterprises
r
see centralized email hosting as the preferred way to
r
provide the scalability and reliability needed to deal
r
with increasing email usage and message complexity,”
r
said Mark Levitt, research director, IDC. “The
r
mainframe environment is a strong platform for
r
centralized email hosting, especially for
r
organizations already using mainframes for
r
mission-critical applications with high performance
r
requirements.”
r
r
Today large enterprises consider email as a critical
r
business system and require the high reliability and
r
low total cost of ownership. Impressive cost
r
reductions can be obtained for enterprises that
r
already host critical business applications on a
r
mainframe by adding the Sendmail solution as an
r
additional workload. Or, distributed enterprises can
r
consolidate multiple departmental or divisional mail
r
servers onto a single highly reliable platform. In
r
both cases, the company says the mail system
r
reliability improves while hardware and system
r
administration costs are substantially reduced.
r
r
“There is no debating that email is a vital
r
application for conducting business today,” said Greg
r
Olson, executive vice president business development
r
of Sendmail, Inc. “Most larger companies already run
r
their critical applications on the mainframe platform
r
because it provides a level of reliability unmatched
r
by any other system with a total cost of ownership
r
optimized over 30 years. For these companies email is
r
best served on their mainframes.”
r
r
Sendmail solutions on Linux for the IBM eServer z900
r
are available today. For product and pricing
r

r
Sendmail, Inc. will be exhibiting Aug. 28-30, 2001, at
r
Linux World in San Francisco in booth no. 1144.
