CommuniGate Pro and OpenVMS

• Is the OpenVMS Corporate Unified Messaging Server
  on Integrity and AlphaServer systems
• This product is fully endorsed by the HP
  Corporate OpenVMS Group
• CommuniGate Pro, featured in the HP OpenVMS
  Integrity production launch video first aired in
  January 05
• It is being marketed as the replacement for
  ALL-IN-1 and Office Server systems
• OpenVMS has a very close partnership with
  CommuniGate Systems encompassing
• the strategic relationship, technical support,
  benchmarking, marketing and partner programs
• With the assistance of OpenVMS Management and
  Ambassadors, CommuniGate Systems are signing up
  OpenVMS Partners and System Integrators to
  support CommuniGate Pro on OpenVMS around the
  World

ALL-IN-1/Office Server CommuniGate Pro
Interoperability options

• Options include
• Access from multiple Web Browsers to both
  ALL-IN-1/Office Server - via the Web Interface -
  and CommuniGate Pro
• IMAP4 and POP3 access to both Office Server and
  CommuniGate Pro
• Access from the native MS Outlook Client to both
  ALL-IN-1/Office Server - using the HP MAPI Driver
  - and CommuniGate Pro using the CGP MAPI
  Connector
• Ability to install CommuniGate Pro and
  ALL-IN-1/Office Server side-by-side on mixed
  OpenVMS AlphaServer and Integrity clusters,
  easing interoperability, data access and
  migration

Office Server message Migration to CommuniGate Pro

• It is possible to move messages from Office
  Server V5.0 and V6.0 folders to CommuniGate Pro
  using the IMAP Servers of the two products and
  the CommuniGate Pro IMAP Migration Utility
• ALL-IN-1 systems must be upgraded to Office
  Server V5.0 to access the IMAP Server. This
  upgrade is minor and leaves the File Cabinet
  completely untouched
• CommuniGate Pro supports the flat file structure
  - .mbox the .mdir structure that stores messages
  in multiple directories and MultiMailbox where
  users can be assigned both in different
  folders/mailboxes
• .mdir also supports the shared storage model
  whereby messages for multiple users are only
  stored once with pointers to each user.
• Fortunately, this is the mechanism utilized by
  Office Server

Customer Case Study - Educational

• University of California Santa Cruz
• Consolidated several departmental servers (50,000
  accounts) into one centralized Dynamic Cluster
  solution
• Support several different clients including
  Eudora, Outlook and Webmail branded to match UCSC
  internet
• Developed integration with external
  authentication (Kerberos) system
• In choosing a messaging provider, we needed
  assurance that the solution was not only proven,
  but was also standards-based, to allow for
  flexibility in supporting departmental
  requirements, and had the ability to handle
  fluctuating loads elegantly and with the utmost
  reliability. CommuniGate Pro Dynamic Cluster fit
  these requirements combining full messaging
  functionality, flexibility and unprecedented
  uptime. John Rudd, senior UNIX systems
  administrator UCSC
