Research Reveals: Service Providers Can Reduce Costs of Email Services - Rockliffe MailSite NS Offers Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

Campbell, CA (ots)

Rockliffe, Inc., a leading developer of
messaging infrastructure software, announced that technology
benchmarking specialist Osterman Research found that Rockliffe's
MailSite NS had the lowest per year and three-year TCO. Osterman
completed an analysis of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for five
messaging systems used by Internet service providers to provide email
and related services including anti-spam. Osterman analyzed MailSite
NS alongside four other messaging systems: Critical Path Messaging
Server, Sun ONE Messaging Server, Microsoft Exchange and Openwave
Email Mx.
Osterman identified the following advantages of MailSite NS:
- Low, non-recurring mailbox licence fee    
   - Lower administrative maintenance requirements; 5 times less     
     than Microsoft Exchange 
   - Fewer points of hardware failure    
   - Less maintenance cost    
   - Increased service reliability
For an email service based on Microsoft Exchange, recurring and
other costs drive the three-year TCO to around $20.5 million,
compared with MailSite's $7.4 million. The full research results:

Michael Osterman, of Osterman Research, said: "In choosing their
email infrastructure, ISPs and enterprises need to be much more aware
of the real long-term costs of providing email facilities to
customers and staff. Our analysis reveals that many organizations
simply don't know how much it costs them to run their email system
and often underestimate major cost components."
"We are very pleased with the results of the Osterman study," said
Rockliffe's CEO, John Davies. "This is one of the first major
comparisons of the real costs of large-scale email systems. MailSite
provides impressive cost benefits."
