High-Performance Merak Email Server Now Available On Linux

Merak Combines Stability, Performance, Scalability And Value

IceWarp Software Ltd., makers of the popular and globally deployed Merak E-mail Server Suite for Windows, announced the availability of its e-mail server for Linux-based networks in SMB, enterprise and ISP environments. Tuned for power and reliability, Merak offers support for an industry-leading 100,000 accounts per server at up to 20,000 messages per minute and even higher when configured for a load-balanced operation.

The new Linux Merak E-mail Server Suite was created specifically for the Linux platform. Merak has already been certified for use with Redhat Enterprise Linux, and tested on Redhat Fedora Core and Gentoo. There are also numerous installations on Suse, Mandrake, Ubuntu and Debian.

Merak is the first email server for Linux that combines stability, performance, scalability, and value. Packaged as an all-in-one, out-of-the-box e-mail suite, Merak features everything a business or ISP needs including anti-virus, anti-spam, groupware, and instant messaging. It provides desktop, Web mail, and remote access for almost every onsite, subscriber, and telecommuting application. All protocols in Merak can run in secured mode, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which is a critical feature for protecting intellectual assets and user data.

“Merak for Linux has been in development for the last year based on the feedback from Linux enthusiasts, and through an initial wave of BETA testing, Merak has already proved to be the highest performing and most comprehensive e-mail solution for Linux users on the market today,” said Ladislav Goc, CEO of IceWarp Ltd. “Linux is gradually evolving into a legitimate backbone for enterprise and ISP networks. Similar to the Windows market, Linux users have been demanding a powerful, scalable, and reliable email alternative. Merak outperforms everything currently available and also expands the potential for email applications, secures corporate communications, increases productivity, scales with the business, all the while simplifying the overall IT management and administration process.”

Merak creates backups of all communication, including IM, allowing companies keep moving at today’s e-business pace. Merak also offers administration wizards, monitoring and statistics, enhanced folder management, and toolbar customization for instruction-free communications management.
