Get under the hood on architecture and system requirements

Easy access, anytime, anywhere WebEdge supports the most popular browsers and Web-enabled devices, so subscribers can simply and easily access their mailboxes and calendars on the road, at home or in the office.

Security You Can Trust WebEdge ensures customers peace of mind with their confidential communications. Preventive security features include secure session IDs, login probe protection, HTML "attachment" filters and automatic browser cache clearing to protect services from malicious users and further inspire subscribers trust.

Easy to Customize The WebEdge interface is defined by customizable HTML templates, which can be tailored to a service providers brand and "look and feel" consistent with other Web service offerings. A scrolling message window can be included for ongoing communications to subscribers. Additionally, the HTML templates can be edited to remove or add features, allowing flexible configuration of services as well as the interface.

Supports Advertising Revenue Models WebEdge also supports Web services based on advertising revenue, such as Web banners.

Rapid Deployment An automated installer program eliminates the need for a Web server administrator, professional installation, and/or a complicated CGI or Web server plug-in set-up process. No separate Web server is required.

Easy to Manage WebEdge is easily configured and managed through a Web-based administration tool. Security features enable administrators to monitor system status and manage their system remotely.

Works with Standard Internet Email Servers WebEdge Mail operates in concert with any POP3 or IMAP server, such as Post.Office, allowing service providers to quickly augment their existing mail system with Web access to email accounts and email notification of scheduled events. WebEdge Calendar works with an existing database.

Flexible Mail and Calendar Integration WebEdge can easily be deployed individually or as a single offering, enabling service providers complete flexibility in configuring strategic differentiated services. With simple template edits, features can be added or removed from the mail and calendar applications. The customizable interface also enables service providers to integrate other Web-based applications.

High Performance, Scalable Web Server Engine WebEdge delivers highly reliable and available services to large subscriber bases, even during peak demand. The performance advantages of WebEdge also reduce back-end operating costs through fewer system provisioning requirements and lower system management overhead.

Cost Effective to Support Since WebEdge works with popular Web browsers, it requires no extra client software or configuration. Subscribers simply login to the designated service URL and they're ready to go. Combined with an elegant, easy to use interface, this simplicity significantly decreases the amount of customer service support required.

Designed for the Service Provider Environment WebEdge is built on a single-process, multithreaded Web server engine that employs caching mechanisms for storage of common data requests. As a result, WebEdge is more scalable and outperform other Web-based email programs that use Perl, CGI or HTML scripting. These processes are too easily overloaded when the server receives many simultaneous requests.

Server Compatibility WebEdge works with any POP3 or IMAP server, allowing service providers to quickly integrate WebEdge applications into their existing service offerings.

High Availability The WebEdge server is designed for worry-free operation. It provides the highest level of availability to ensure subscribers have reliable access to their web-based email and calendars. Clustering technology and self-repairing mechanisms are built in to keep process threads available. Process threads are also monitored with heartbeat diagnostics that alert administrators when failure is detected and automatically restart the server.

Customizable Interface HTML templates define the end-user interface, making it easy to style the look and feel to match a branded environment. Using these templates also makes it simple to include ad banners.

Easy Installation An automated installment program ensures rapid deployment and installs an integrated Web server. No CGI or Web server plug-ins required.

Application Integration Architecture design allows for tight integration between webmail and calendaring applications to create one premium service.

Web-based Administration Administration of accounts and applications is performed onsite or remotely through a secure, easy-to-use Web interface.

Advanced Security Features WebEdge employs advanced security features such as Login Probe Protection, which prevents malicious users from running username/password loop programs to access accounts. WebEdge also secures user sessions by preventing client caching of user information during the session.

Internet Standards Support WebEdge provides Web access to any POP3 or IMAP4 mailbox.
