NATCO Improves E-mail Servers

NATCO Technologies has upgraded its e-mail servers to provide faster and more reliable access to e-mail for its customers throughout the area. Russ Woodman, NATCO Tech systems administrator, said the work was undertaken because, “Quality of service is NATCO’s highest priority when providing Internet access and solutions for its customers.”

The work was completed in the fourth quarter of 2007. The new features include: expanded Web Mail capabilities, quicker downloads, high availability of e-mail even during rare hardware downtime as well as the ability to scale NATCO Tech’s e-mail service to provide quality options and value-added services to customers in the future.

The upgrade, which involved both hardware and software, also means that the e-mail system is better protected from failures or disasters with additional capacity and additional redundancy, including off-site backup.

NATCO Technologies now has “full redundancy” through servers that mirror one another, said Woodman, and has room to grow with additional servers as the need arises.
