522 PostPath, creator of the only email and collaboration server that is a drop-in alternative to Microsoft Exchange, announced today that it fully supports Apple's new iPhone 3G and iPhone 2.0 software. PostPath is the only non-Microsoft server that provides native ActiveSync support with no plug-in or middleware enabling users to take full advantage of the iPhone's intuitive UI and the productivity benefits of mobile access to email, collaboration and shared calendaring. The iPhone's Mail and Calendar applications are also supported with no plug-in, nothing to download and no modification to the device configuration.

In addition to iPhone 2.0, the PostPath Server's native support includes mixed environments and the spectrum of enterprises' most popular devices, including iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and other ActiveSync-enabled devices. With the PostPath Server, enterprise customers — including iPhone users — have access to full-feature, enterprise-grade messaging and collaboration at a significantly lower cost than Microsoft Exchange. Organizations can take advantage of the operational efficiency and cost savings of the PostPath server to roll out large mailboxes and mobile messaging to their users much easier and cheaper than with Exchange 2007.

The increasing reliance on email and mobile devices to support day-to-day business needs creates new messaging and collaboration requirements. Enterprises need the flexibility and performance of the PostPath Server and its native interoperability capabilities with Outlook, Active Directory Exchange and the rest of its ecosystem.

"We are seeing strong demand from our customers for iPhone support, and we applaud Apple's new offering," said Duncan Greatwood, president and CEO of PostPath. "We've already been successfully using the iPhone 2.0 Beta alongside our own production systems. As the only company to provide seamless support for ActiveSync on the iPhone 2.0, PostPath gives businesses the flexibility to support their mobile users with any device they choose. We're seeing strong growth in the enterprise market, and iPhone 2.0 is another indication of the importance of flexibility and native interoperability. Customers now have an open enterprise mobile platform capable of shared calendaring and email with large mailboxes, mobile CRM and custom applications built for their enterprise's specific needs."

PostPath offers native support for iPhone users and native interoperability with the Exchange ecosystem making it easy for customers to evaluate and deploy PostPath. PostPath's simplicity, flexibility and scalability make it possible and cost effective for those enterprises who have not adopted broad mobile support to now evaluate it and deploy it with confidence regardless of the device type. In addition to native email and calendaring support for their iPhone users, companies will be able to take advantage of other benefits of the PostPath email and collaboration server including:

Large mailboxes — Enterprises can provide every iPhone user — and every employee — with multi-gigabyte mailboxes even with commodity hardware and without administration nightmares.

High availability — With its standards-based, open-systems solution PostPath offers real-time business continuity and high availability for the critical application of email and collaboration at significantly lower cost than any alternative solution.

Improved performance — Handheld devices typically place a large load on Exchange resulting in diminished capacity and performance. PostPath Server is up to five times more efficient, enabling broad rollout of mobile devices without additional cost and headaches.

Support for leading browsers —PostPath provides WebMail support in the form of a browser-independent, easy-to-use AJAX web client and delivers full interoperability with Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. The Web 2.0 client offers email, shared calendaring and access to public folders similar to Outlook and can be used as a replacement for some or all users.

Lower infrastructure costs — PostPath lowers infrastructure costs by as much as 80% due to its efficient use of server resources and storage.

PostPath has developed the industry's first drop-in compatible alternative to Microsoft Exchange. Fully interoperable with the Exchange ecosystem, PostPath's email and collaboration server provides enterprises a lean, high-performance messaging infrastructure, a radically improved cost model, and an innovation-rich upgrade path for traditional and Linux-friendly messaging environments. PostPath was founded in December 2003 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
