  1. CommuniGate ProReal-Time Unified Messaging Server with Integrated Voice over IP onOpenVMS

  2. CommuniGate Pro and OpenVMS • Is the OpenVMS Corporate Unified Messaging Server on Integrity and AlphaServer systems • This product is fully endorsed by the HP Corporate OpenVMS Group • CommuniGate Pro, featured in the HP OpenVMS Integrity production launch video first aired in January ‘05 • It is being marketed as the replacement for ALL-IN-1 and Office Server systems • OpenVMS has a very close partnership with CommuniGate Systems encompassing: • the strategic relationship, technical support, benchmarking, marketing and partner programs • With the assistance of OpenVMS Management and Ambassadors, CommuniGate Systems are signing up OpenVMS Partners and System Integrators to support CommuniGate Pro on OpenVMS around the World

  3. ALL-IN-1/Office Server & CommuniGate Pro Interoperability options Options include: • Access from multiple Web Browsers to both ALL-IN-1/Office Server - via the Web Interface - and CommuniGate Pro • IMAP4 and POP3 access to both Office Server and CommuniGate Pro • Access from the native MS Outlook Client to both ALL-IN-1/Office Server - using the HP MAPI Driver - and CommuniGate Pro – using the CGP MAPI Connector • Ability to install CommuniGate Pro and ALL-IN-1/Office Server side-by-side on mixed OpenVMS AlphaServer and Integrity clusters, easing interoperability, data access and migration

  4. Office Server message Migration to CommuniGate Pro • It is possible to move messages from Office Server V5.0 and V6.0 folders to CommuniGate Pro using the IMAP Servers of the two products and the CommuniGate Pro IMAP Migration Utility • ALL-IN-1 systems must be upgraded to Office Server V5.0 to access the IMAP Server. This upgrade is minor and leaves the File Cabinet completely untouched • CommuniGate Pro supports the flat file structure - .mbox; the .mdir structure that stores messages in multiple directories and MultiMailbox where users can be assigned both in different folders/mailboxes • .mdir also supports the shared storage model whereby messages for multiple users are only stored once with pointers to each user. • Fortunately, this is the mechanism utilized by Office Server

  5. ALL-IN-1/Office Server Interoperability and file migration capabilities Outlook Client ALL-IN-1/ Office Server MAPI Driver CommuniGate Pro MAPI Connector CommuniGate Pro IMAP Migration Utility (ALL-IN-1 V3.2) Office Server V5.0/V6.0 CommuniGate Pro Server Mail to and from the Internet Multiple Web Browsers
