Novell has announced the availability of the Novell Internet Messaging System 2.6, software that provides Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Application Service Providers (ASPs) with the most advanced and robust wireless messaging system available today. The Novell Internet Messaging System 2.6 allows service providers to build customer loyalty and expand their customer base to mobile users by offering secure hosted e-mail accounts that are accessible anywhere in the world through a wireless device or a standard Web browser.
Designed to address the unique management and integration issues faced by service providers, the Novell Internet Messaging System is built on NDS eDirectory, which dramatically simplifies system administration, and supports the Linux, Solaris and NetWare platforms. This simplified management allows ISPs and ASPs to grow their business, increase the number of customers they can support, reduce costs and raise customer satisfaction.
According to Novell e-business solutions manager James Thomas, the Novell Internet Messaging System 2.6 helps service providers expand into this rapidly growing market of mobile users by providing them with secure wireless messaging. "Built on the industry-leading NDS eDirectory, the Novell Internet Messaging System provides a high-performance hosted e-mail service that is ideal for service providers who need to deliver reliable services at low costs.
"The software helps service providers create a manageable and secure one Net infrastructure by delivering fast, reliable e-mail messaging across all types of networks, wired to wireless, and leading Net platforms, including Linux, Solaris and NetWare," he adds.
The latest version of the Novell Internet Messaging System offers customers several key enhancements:
The Novell Internet Messaging System now allows users to read, send, reply to, forward and delete e-mail messages from wireless devices. The Novell Internet Messaging System supports both the Wireless Markup Language (WML) 1.1 and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standards, which allow for worldwide wireless communication.

The Novell Internet Messaging System provides secure communications for users and administrators. Whether users are accessing their e-mail from wireless phones or an administrator is monitoring the messaging system from a Web browser, the communication is secured through support for the OpenSSL or Transport Layer Security (TLS) Internet security standard.
The Novell Internet Messaging System offers simplified administration features to allow service providers to keep up with rapid customer growth without sacrificing the efficiency and reliability of their messaging system. With the Novell Internet Messaging System 2.6, administrators can add new servers, groups of new users or change server configurations dynamically without ever needing to take the system down -- critical in the fast-paced Net economy.
A key competitive advantage for the Novell Internet Messaging System over other hosted messaging packages is its tight integration with NDS eDirectory. Not only does NDS eDirectory allow service providers to easily manage millions of Novell Internet Messaging System e-mail accounts, but it also brings e-mail accounts together with user information, accounting and billing processes, hardware, etc. into a single location. This centralised management allows service providers to grow their business by simplifying business processes.
