If competitiveness is the name of the game for application servers, then Macromedia’s JRun 3.1 is definitely a player. JRun is priced lower than most similar J2EE-compliant servers but provides excellent performance and a boatload of features for the money. With its competitive pricing and excellent performance, JRun offers a boatload of features for the […]

Sun Microsystems seemingly acquires application servers the way that my son acquires Pokemon cards: as often as possible, with little regard as to how many Pokemon cards are already sitting in his acquisition pile. Call it the Pokemon Principle. Sun Microsystems seemingly acquires application servers the way that my son acquires Pokemon cards: as often […]

Selecting the right conference server is still very much a matter of mixing and matching to get the capabilities you need. You can go with a tool that’s designed to work with any multimedia client using the H.323 protocol (which would include MeetingPlace from White Pine Software), or you can go with a tool that […]

ArGoSoft’s FTP server is a good lesson in setting out a design path and sticking to it. It’s tempting for many software developers to become ambitious — and sometimes this does indeed produce great software. Other times, though, it can yield applications built on promises and bugs. ArGoSoft’s FTP server is not the most ambitious […]

FtpMax is arguably the best FTP server for situations where system administrators want a high level of control over what users upload and download — or, rather, exactly how much users upload and download.

GOPHERS (pronounced Gopher-S) is one of a trio of freeware servers released by the European Microsoft Windows NT Academic Center (EMWAC).

Once upon a time there was only one major ircd daemon available for serving IRC networks. The original ircd was developed and used jointly by the pre-eminent IRC networks. The server code evolved normally until v2.8.10 when the Undernet network split off and began to work on development of its own. This resulted in the […]

With tongues planted firmly in cheek, the creators of CommuniGate Pro advertise their mail server as being “buzzword-compliant.” While it’s debatable whether buzzwords play an important role when companies choose a messaging solution — sendmail, for instance, is notably devoid of any devotion to buzzwords whatsoever — the unfortunately monikered Stalker Software certainly has thrown […]

It is becoming more and more common that when an e-mail server goes down, an enterprise’s entire communication infrastructure goes down. With many places using e-mail as their “official” means of communication, it’s no huge leap to realize that when the mail servers go down, communication stops dead in its tracks. In some cases some […]

With an easy-to-use administrative graphical interface, high-performance mail threading, an impressive array of anti-spam tools, and advanced multihoming capabilities, MailMax is an ideal mail server for the mid-sized company or ISP that wants to run many different domains off of one IP address. MailMax has several administrative tools that separate it from other mail servers. […]

For enterprises looking for a solid but simple e-mail server that does not cost a bundle and is still long on features, giving consideration to Merak is a wise choice.
