Aliencamel.com Adds Internet-outage Risk Protection to its Email Service
Melbourne, Australia, June 15, 2006 -- Users rely on their ISP and Internet backbone links to access their email service. When a backbone link or communications hardware fails a part of the Internet becomes inaccessible. Aliencamel.com ensures email accessibility during Internet outages by mirroring its customers' emails on two continents.
Internet outages are increasing for many factors including scheduled maintenance, equipment failure and malicious attackers. As a result of outages crucial services such as email becomes inaccessible because the user cannot access the datacenter that houses their email servers. However, most outages only affect a portion of the Internet. Aliencamel is providing its users with a secondary email server on a different continent from the primary email server to increase the availablity of its email service.
As each email arrives it is stored on both servers in real-time. Users can access the backup email server whenever the primary server is inaccessible. "For email users that rely on having access to their emails 24/7 it is comforting for them to know that if the primary email server is inaccessible there is a secondary backup service" said Sydney Low of Aliencamel.
"Computer hardware is now extremely reliable but the weak link is the Internet communications infrastructure. When these links fail a backup server that is geographically diverse increases the chance of availability" said Low.
Aliencamel offers an independent email service that provides a whole host of features not available from free webmail and basic email from Internet service providers. These include unlimited storage, double-scanning for viruses, proprietary anti-spam blocking technology and automatic email synchronization across multiple devices using the IMAP protocol.
