One.Tel Upgrades E-mail Platform With Mirapoint

Mirapoint, the messaging infrastructure specialist, has announced that One.Tel has successfully completed the upgrade of its e-mail platform. Mirapoint's technology was chosen to enable the delivery of advanced e-mail services to its customer base. This enhanced platform has significantly increased One.Tel's mailbox capacity and is easily upgradable to accommodate the ongoing expansion of its narrowband and broadband customer base.

One.Tel has deployed Mirapoint's Message Servers and Message Directors to increase the overall capacity and performance of its existing messaging platform. It will also enable One.Tel to reduce costs by consolidating its e-mail services onto fewer systems and reducing the amount of data centre space required. The enhanced e-mail platform will allow One.Tel to launch new e-mail services and support its growing broadband customer base.

"This platform will enable us to offer many more value-added online services to both existing and future UK customers," says Paul Harris, Director of Operations at One.Tel. "Mirapoint's systems offered us the scalability, flexibility and resilience we need, with the support of a comprehensive Service Level Agreement. Our mailbox capacity can now be easily increased by simply plugging in another Message Server."

"One.Tel is committed to delivering an advanced and constantly evolving service to both its narrowband and broadband customer base. Mirapoint's solutions form an integral part of this," says Nigel Brooke, VP EMEA of Mirapoint.

One.Tel implemented Mirapoint's Message Director MD400 and Message Server M4000 dedicated messaging systems. The Message Server M4000 provides an end-to-end infrastructure for secure and reliable message storage and access. The Message Director MD400 works with any internet messaging environment to provide scalable routing services. It can support millions of e-mail messages daily and provide protection from e-mail borne viruses and spam.
