Email is The Top Form of Business Communication
Email is critical to many revenue operations, and operates as Tier 1 infrastructure for the enterprise. The rise of this channel has produced a wave of requirements in security, compliance, performance and support for various types of traffic and business unit functions. Email has moved from a communication utility to an essential business process platform, with an array of services and near-perfect SLAs required to perform successfully.
A New Messaging Foundation
ColdSpark provides a new foundation for email network traffic management and services in the enterprise user network:
- Attached Services: Open integration with external processes and applications

- Lanes of Traffic: Virtual "lanes of traffic" for providing differentiated processes, policies and service level to different traffic streams (e.g., by business unit)
- High performance, high-availability, n-tier scalability
- Advanced, centralized Management
This foundation enables ColdSpark to provide higher-performing, better managed point solutions for security, compliance and routing, while laying the broader foundation for a unified environment for all email (SMTP) functions in the enterprise.
