Contacts Go Global in Kerio MailServer 6.7

Cambridge, UK — May 12, 2009 — Kerio Technologies Inc., a leading innovator in IT security and messaging, today announced the availability of its cross-platform Kerio MailServer 6.7. With a new Global Address List, enhanced anti-spam protection and support for Debian and Ubuntu Linux, Kerio MailServer 6.7 improves the security and manageability of email-based collaboration for small and medium sized organisations looking for more efficient team collaboration.

Kerio Global Address List (GAL) provides an easy way to access and view contact information of everyone in the corporate directory from a groupware client such as Microsoft Outlook. Larger organisations implementing Kerio GAL gain greater efficiency in day-to-day work. Kerio Global Address List is synchronised with Microsoft Active Directory, Apple Open Directory and Kerio’s own user directory.

“While SMEs have the same communication and security needs as large enterprises, they all too often lack similar IT and financial resources,” said Tim Doherty, IDC analyst for Small and Medium-Sized Business Markets: Mobility. “Products such as Kerio MailServer that are simple to deploy, aggressively priced for smaller businesses, and offer secure wireless access to contacts and email are ideally suited to serve this segment.”

”The Kerio Global Address List dramatically simplifies the management of contact information, which has always been a pain in growing organisations,“ said Tomas Soukup, product development manager for Messaging at Kerio. “Because new users are dynamically added to the Kerio GAL, they immediately gain access to names, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, or postal addresses of all their colleagues.”

Kerio MailServer 6.7 also features an enhanced anti-spam gateway optimised to take advantage of multi-CPU servers with speed improvements derived from the fast parallel processing of email messages. Kerio’s multi-layer spam protection now implements an innovative auto-learn method for Bayes filter that dramatically speeds up the building of a fine-tuned Bayesian heuristic database making Kerio anti-spam protection more effective than ever.

Shifting customer preferences in Linux distributions are reflected in the newly added support for Debian 5 and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Linux, giving customers a wide choice of desktop and server Linux operating systems, which previously included Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SuSE Linux and CentOS.

The new Kerio IMAP Migration Tool makes it very easy to move email messages from another IMAP-based email server system to Kerio MailServer. The Kerio IMAP Migration Tool runs on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux and transfers domains, accounts, folders and email messages from any local or hosted IMAP server to Kerio MailServer. According to Sammy Aindow, Server Consultant for Jigsaw Systems, a Preferred Partner based in Nottingham, UK. “The new IMAP Migration Tool makes it even easier to move customers away from other mail servers to the advanced feature set of Kerio.”

Mobile email has long been the focus of Kerio MailServer, which now works with the latest DataViz RoadSync 4.0 client, giving road warriors better push email on more than 100 popular smartphones including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Palm, Motorola, LG and Samsung.

Kerio MailServer is available for Windows, Mac OS X, VMware, and Linux and fully supports Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage and smartphones such as Apple iPhone or BlackBerry. The messaging and collaboration solution integrates mobile email, calendaring and resource scheduling with email security features including multi-layer anti-spam, flexible dual antivirus control, attachment filtering, and archiving. The product is localised into 16 languages.

Pricing
Kerio MailServer is currently priced at £250 with ten users, or £299 with integrated McAfee Anti-Virus.
