Aliencamel.com Adds Internet-outage Risk Protection to its Email Service

Melbourne, Australia June 15, 2006 — Users rely on their ISP and Internet backbone links to access their email service. When a backbone link or communications hardware fails a part of the Internet becomes inaccessible. http://aliencamel.com/ ensures email accessibility during Internet outages by mirroring its customers' emails on two continents.

Internet outages are increasing for many factors including scheduled maintenance, equipment failure and malicious attackers. As a result of outages crucial services such as email becomes inaccessible because the user cannot access the datacenter that houses their email servers. However, most outages only affect a portion of the Internet. Aliencamel is providing its users with a secondary email server on a different continent from the primary email server to increase the availablity of its email service.

As each email arrives it is stored on both servers in real-time. Users can access the backup email server whenever the primary server is inaccessible. "For email users that rely on having access to their emails 24/7 it is comforting for them to know that if the primary email server is inaccessible there is a secondary backup service" said Sydney Low of Aliencamel.

"Computer hardware is now extremely reliable but the weak link is the Internet communications infrastructure. When these links fail a backup server that is geographically diverse increases the chance of availability" said Low.

Aliencamel offers an independent email service that provides a whole host of features not available from free webmail and basic email from Internet service providers. These include unlimited storage, double-scanning for viruses, proprietary anti-spam blocking technology and automatic email synchronization across multiple devices using the IMAP protocol.
