Stratos Chooses IceWarp for Major Next Generation Broadband Satellite Services
Infrastructure Project
With nearly a decade on the market, IceWarp delivers the messaging platform of
choice for next generation data centers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ --- Pressing forward with next generation
messaging, Stratos Global Corporation, the leading global provider of advanced
mobile and fixed-site remote communications solutions, has forged an alliance
with IceWarp, a key messaging leader that has garnered respect within the
industry and is the platform of choice for nearly 100,000 businesses and
institutions around the world.
The new IceWarp messaging platform ensures that the next generation
AmosConnect from Stratos will enhance the benefits of the new satellite
broadband connectivity services.
AmosConnect from Stratos integrates vessel and shore-based office
applications. It is an easy-to-use, yet highly sophisticated email service
that seamlessly integrates email, fax, telex, GSM text, interoffice
communication and access for mobile personnel into a single messaging system.
Nearly 20,000 AmosConnect from Stratos licenses have been issued, and the
service is used by more than 200,000 officers and crewmembers at seagoing
vessels. Stratos is the largest supplier of mobile satellite services in the
maritime industry, with communications to more than 40,000 maritime terminals
worldwide.
AmosConnect NextGen delivers email, data synchronization, remote access,
reporting, web acceleration, and security to the fleet - helping to ensure
streamlined operations, cost efficiency and optimization of available
bandwidth. It supports all narrow band satellite connections as well the new
broadband generation of IP based satellite services as FleetBroadband, BGAN,
SwiftBroadband, Iridium OpenPort and the VSAT solutions OceanVSAT and Stratos
ITek.
Greg Moss, Director of Stratos' Technical Program Management, expressed his
own optimism: "We analyzed many competing solutions on the market, and IceWarp
was the only product that met nearly all of our requirements in a single
package. We have been working with the suite for a while, and we continue to
discover more of its capabilities that have allowed us to speed up deployment
safely and plan for the future."
The esteem that Stratos Global has developed for IceWarp is common among
existing users of IceWarp Server. The software has been on the market for
nearly a decade and currently reaches over 50 million end users. It is widely
regarded as a premium solution that is extremely budget savvy.
What started out in 1999 as an email server for high volume ISPs, quickly
evolved worldwide into a total messaging and collaboration solution for
corporations and institutions.
"The Stratos Global deployment validates the radical scalability and
unprecedented versatility of IceWarp Server," said Christopher Grady, CEO of
IceWarp, Inc. "Not only does it run some of the largest modern data centers
across multiple industries - it is also deployed by tens of thousands of
corporations around the world, from SMB to enterprise. That said, our alliance
with Stratos Global proves the platform's enormous ability."
Moreover, officials said that the company has formed a number of best
practices for optimizing message handling in high load environments, and these
best practices give customers a head start that ensures that they can maximize
their investment from the very beginning.
Because Stratos Global has chosen IceWarp Server to handle its underlying
messaging complexities, the maritime powerhouse is able to focus more on its
core competencies and deliver next generation satellite communication services
required by the shipping industry. IceWarp is the most adaptive and robust
server of its kind on the market today and provides the foundation that
organizations need in order to deal with the challenges that secure messaging
will present in the future.
"IceWarp's total cost of ownership is extremely attractive," said Moss of
Stratos. "IceWarp Server's advantages create the likelihood that even if a
competing platform offered its product free of charge, it would not be able to
beat IceWarp's TCO."
With the IceWarp-Stratos alliance starting out on such certain footing, the
future of each venture remains strong. Stratos has fulfilled its objective of
revamping and invigorating its messaging system, and IceWarp has again
demonstrated that its scalable platform is the solution of choice for even the
most demanding of projects.
