Performance Optimization

AppRiver Delivers the Only High Availability Secure Hosted Exchange Solution

Understanding the need for high performing, always available applications, AppRiver teamed up with Akamai to make the Internet behave more consistently for business-quality application delivery. By implementing the Akamai platform within its service, AppRiver assures its users will always have quick and reliable access to Outlook, Outlook Web and Mobile Device applications, regardless of location or what is happening on the Internet.

Faster Internet

Using Akamai's SureRoute technology, AppRiver dynamically plots the fastest path between the user and their email. SureRoute uses a global network of over 30,000 servers in more than 70 countries to keep an up-to-the-second map of the Internet's performance characteristics. This system ensures strained or congested segments of the Internet are not used to connect a user with their information.
Result: Users of AppRiver's Hosted Exchange Service with Akamai's SureRoute technology see a 30-40% improvement in Email system availability.

Better Mobility

While laptop adoption has been on the rise, purchases of desktop PC's have been declining. Even while today's workforce becomes more mobile, their access to email, schedules, contacts, tasks and shared information become more demanding. Whether accessing this information from the office, a hotel, the airport or using a BlackBerry in the back seat of a New York City cab, connectivity must be quick, consistent, and fast. An industry first, AppRiver has integrated Akamai's unique and proprietary TCP Optimization technology to achieve dramatic improvements in connectivity and performance especially for global and wireless email users.
Result: Users of AppRiver's Hosted Exchange Service with Akamai's TCP Optimization technology enjoy consistent system performance whether they're located close to the data center, half way around the world, or while using a poor quality wireless connection.

High Availability

While achieving five 9's of availability within the data center is required for a High Availability Hosted Exchange solution, on its own it does not achieve this goal. Exchange and Outlook were designed to connect using a Local Area Network which can be described as fast, stable and very deterministic. Using the Internet instead with its designed in tolerance for high packet latency, packet loss, and even significant outages will result in a user experience inconsistent with expectations for what is arguably the most mission critical application used by businesses today. Control outside the data center is as important as control inside when delivering Microsoft Exchange as a hosted application using the Internet.
Result: AppRiver and Akamai have taken end-to-end control of the Hosted Exchange service resulting in improved user experience and greater productivity.
