MailShadow For Google Apps Synchronizes Rich Email Content Between Microsoft Outlook & Exchange And Gmail For Enterprises, SMBs And Consumers In Real-Time
Cemaphore Systems, Inc. is reshaping the way people manage and protect their e-mail content with the announcement of MailShadow for Google Apps (MailShadowG) that immediately 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/Exchange and Gmail. 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, contacts and Google Calendar.
"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 Apps."
"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."
"The ability to integrate Gmail and Outlook into a host-based model enables a valuable set of new mail system architectures," said Peter Christy, principal in Internet Research Group. "Being able to fully integrate Microsoft Outlook with Google's hosted mail services lets smaller businesses enjoy the benefits of a fully protected e-mail environment without the IT resources and sophistication required to implement the non-hosted Exchange solution. MailShadowG gives them a chance to benefit from e-mail continuity, archiving and management while retaining full compatibility with Outlook leveraging a SaaS based model for a practical cost."
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 major 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.
