IceWarp Introduces All-in-One, High Performance Merak E-mail Server Suite for Linux-based Networks

IceWarp Software Ltd., makers of the popular and globally deployed Merak E-mail Server Suite, today announced its award-winning e-mail server for Linux-based networks. Five years in development, the new Merak E-mail Server Suite was created specifically for the Linux community using its highly-regarded and industry proven Merak version 8.2. Tuned for power and reliability, Merak has already been certified for use with Linux RedHat, as well as Suse, Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, and Ubuntu, among others. Merak for Linux is available now for a full preview prior to its official worldwide availability in September.

Merak for Linux combines stability, performance, scalability, and value. Packaged as an all-in-one suite, Merak features anti-virus, anti-spam, groupware, and instant messaging for increased productivity. It provides desktop, Web mail, and remote access for almost every onsite and telecommuting application. For large-scale enterprises and ISPs, Merak offers support for up to 100,000 accounts per server at up to 20,000 messages per minute and even much more when configured for a load balanced operation. E-mail and IM can run in secured mode, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which is a critical feature for protecting intellectual assets and user data in business, enterprise, and ISP applications.

“Merak is the highest performing and most comprehensive communications solution for enterprises, SMBs and ISPs running Linux,” said Ladislav Goc, CEO of IceWarp Ltd. “As Linux has gained traction within the enterprise and ISP markets, Linux users have been demanding a much more powerful, robust, and reliable email solution. We designed Merak for Linux to combine all of the elements that businesses need and much more, to give them a one-stop-shop, secure communications solution. We will also introduce a complete discussion forum dedicated to supporting Linux users with their email needs as well as providing them with a productive venue to help each other.”

Merak creates backups of all communication, including IM, to help 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.

Merak is incredibly quick and easy to install and offers integrated migration tools to help experienced and novice Linux administrators simplify the process. Merak also offers a unique, flexible and affordable licensing system that can be customized based on only the components required by customers. Licenses can be used on the Linux or Windows operating system, enabling seamless switching between each OS.

Merak is packaged in three specialized configurations for small businesses, medium to large enterprises, and ISPs looking to provide email solutions to employees and customers.
