N-PLEX™ OFFICE
Internet Messaging for the Business Office

N-PLEX Office is a powerful, easy-to-use Internet messaging server specifically designed for small organizations and businesses. N-PLEX Office natively supports the latest Internet standards including SMTP, MIME, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP and LDAP, and features support for popular e-mail clients. The Web-based administration utilities allow simplified management of user mail services with a standard Web browser, and enhanced dial-up services enable quick and easy connections to the Internet.

Flexible, Remote Office Configurations
You can easily integrate N-PLEX Office into a larger enterprise messaging environment with N-PLEX Office installed at remote and branch office locations. These configurations allow N-PLEX Office to reside in remote office locations with minimal administration required. Additionally, for service providers and telecommunications organizations, N-PLEX Office can be installed in a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) configuration where it is managed by the central office. This is made possible by the unique capability of N-PLEX Office to be remotely managed by other N-PLEX servers N-PLEX Enterprise and N-PLEX Global – – that are designed for larger, multiple server environments, and offer extensive remote management capabilities, including remote installation of software upgrades.

Powerful, Internet Messaging Server
N-PLEX Office is a comprehensive software solution that meets the needs of growing organizations and supplies fast, reliable Internet messaging services. Optimized for the Microsoft Windows NT&REG platform, N-PLEX Office is designed to handle the rigorous demands of the business environment, and provides the following features:

  • High-Performance Internet Messaging Server. Supplies fast, reliable messaging services that are optimized for the Windows NT platform.
  • Integrated POP3/IMAP4 Message Store. Provides an integrated message store that seamlessly supports both POP3 and IMAP4 clients simultaneously.
  • LDAP Internet Directory Server. Provides a standards-based LDAP server for storing user names, e-mail addresses, and other relevant directory information.
  • Web/Directory Gateway. Allows users to access an LDAP server or X.500 directory server (via ldapd) with a standard Web browser.
  • List Management Agent. Allows users to subscribe to or delete themselves from mailing lists through simple e-mail messages to the mail system.
  • Web-Based Administration. Includes Java™ applets for routine administration tasks and allows users to view their account status, change passwords, and create auto-reply and vacation messages.

Simple to Install and Manage
For administrators, N-PLEX Office is easy to install and manage using a single graphical interface called the ISOCOR Management Center. The Management Center provides built-in security features that include access control, multi-level passwords, and enhanced facilities for message tracking, event logging and performance monitoring.

N-PLEX Office also provides extensive capabilities for managing system resources and telecommunications costs, including establishing disk quotas for individual user mailboxes, setting limits on message sizes, and configuring dial-up access times. For example, an administrator can designate that large messages be sent after hours when telecommunications costs are generally reduced.

For additional management of system resources, N-PLEX Office can be configured to filter incoming SMTP messages, limiting access by IP address to provide application gateway firewall functionalities. To further enhance overall system integrity, server-based virus scanning is offered as a product option to prevent the spread of viruses.

To enhance the ability of N-PLEX Office to integrate into existing environments where proprietary MAPI-based mail clients may be in use, PLEXLINK™ POP3 Provider, a POP3 MAPI service provider, is included. This allows clients such as Exchange, Outlook™, cc:Mail&REG, and GroupWise™ to be integrated as POP3 clients for N-PLEX Office.
