Email is Essential to Businesses and Unforgiving
Email is the top form of business communication, 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.
Service Oriented Email Networking (SOA for Email)
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
- Policy: Policy integration that supports acting as a ‘universal message manager’ for attached applications and processes
- Lanes of Traffic: Virtual ‘lanes of traffic’ for providing differentiated processes, policies and service livel 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.
With a platform that can support all types of messages processes and enterprise systems, the new Email Backbone unifies network messaging processes, creating a new model for enterprise email infrastructure.
The new Email Backbone supports today’s requirements for security, compliance and management, and lays the foundation to meet new requirements flexibly for the future.
