- Zero-Downtime Email Migration: The Mirapoint Migration Toolkit enables easy email migration and email implementation from legacy email environments to the Mirapoint Messaging platform.
- Our proven email architecture methodology lets you quickly, easily, and safely migrate from your legacy email solution, including Sendmail®, Openwave®, iPlanet®, Novell® (versions 6, 6.5, 7, 8), Critical Path™, Microsoft®, and other commercial products or freeware.
- We migrate all elements of a user’s email account, including the message store, individual preferences, mail filters, forwarding rules, and address book entries.
- Nothing gets lost in the transition, and an unlimited amount of data can be migrated.
- Our fail-safe approach includes rigorous quality assurance and detailed reconciliation reports to ensure accuracy and keep you informed.
- The four components of the Mirapoint Migration Toolkit include:
- Mirapoint MailSync component migrates email data to the Mirapoint Message Server.
- The source platform-specific C++-based Extractor extracts data from a source server to an intermediate format.
- A common Perl-based Importer imports data to the Mirapoint Message Server. – The customizable VB-based user interface provides a front end for the migration tool.
- Upgrading Your Infrastructure: If you are a current Mirapoint customer, we can help you quickly and easily upgrade to new Mirapoint software features – with no disruption to your operations or users.
- If you want to expand your capabilities to meet new service requirements or increase system activity, our capacity planning services will achieve your objectives.
- We can take you into the future with a Secure Messaging Infrastructure™ that will evolve to meet your continuing email migration needs.
- Remote Site Replication™ (RSR): In case of a disaster, this easy to administer solution ensures that your email operations can be up and running with minimal downtime and data loss.
- It allows you to take periodic snapshots of your production mail and calendaring data and replicate it on a shadow mail service which is staged at a different location.
- When your production data center is lost, a quick transfer of your mail services to the alternate location gets you back and running in a few minutes.
- Wide Area Site Replication: Enterprises that cannot tolerate even short email downtimes – especially financial, healthcare or government organizations – may need an off-site replicated email server that synchronizes or “shadows” the data on the local Message Server.
- This “hot backup” solution can limit data loss to less than four hours.
- If a disaster should occur, less than an hour is required to restore users’ access to email data.
- In order to meet the stringent needs of customers requiring such a solution, Mirapoint can provide Wiide Area Site Replication of Mirapoint Message Servers.
- Disaster Planning: Some methods of disaster planning allow organizations to immediately replicate what they need, while others use cold backups to restore data, reducing the overall total cost of ownership (TCO) of their disaster recovery solution.
- Best practices should be followed for failing over and returning back when your original services or equipment come back on line
