Sun Java Enterprise System Provides Reliable, Secure Messaging Infrastructure
Santa Clara, Calif. - June 8 2005 -- Sun Microsystems, Inc., the creator and leading advocate of Java technology, has been chosen by the Holy See to provide a secure end-to-end infrastructure to manage its Internet Office activities. The Sun Java Enterprise System, an integrated, open standards-based software system, along with Sun Fire servers running the Solaris Operating System and connected to a Sun StorEdge array create the foundation of this collaborative infrastructure.
"E-mail is one of the most important IT services we provide at the Holy See -- enabling our internal communication, facilitating correspondence between our consulates, and aiding our worldwide evangelization efforts," said Sister Judith Zoebelein, Internet Office, Holy See. "We now have an efficient, easy-to-manage enterprise communications solution that can reliably support our massive volume of daily e-mail traffic."
As the first phase of the project, the Sun Client Solutions team designed and implemented an end-to-end messaging infrastructure in just two months, which was comprised of key components of the Sun Java Enterprise System, including the Messaging Server and Directory Server.
The Messaging Server's enhanced e-mail account management, security and filtering capabilities enable messages to be managed in a highly sophisticated way, enabling the new messaging solution to support more than 100,000 e-mails a day, with 99.999% system availability. The new infrastructure also provides the Holy See with other benefits, including a significant reduction in system administration and a substantial decrease in help-desk call volume.
"The reliability of our Solaris-based platform and Sun's experience in managing complex IT infrastructures were key to providing a complete solution to enable Holy See with the ability to handle high-volume email exchanges," said Mauro Banchero, Managing Director, Sun Microsystems Italy. "We welcome the Holy See as one of our valued customers and we are proud of our contribution to such a strategic project."
Moving forward, the Holy See plans to build a new worldwide portal to strengthen its web community and centralize its multiple external and internal Internet sites. Sun is now working with the team to implement the Portal Solution with components of the Sun Java Enterprise System. The new portal will provide users with fast, anytime access to comprehensive applications and services, including content management, streaming, e-learning, and collaboration.
Sun also provided instructor-led training for the Holy See IT staff on administering the Sun Java Enterprise System and Sun Fire servers. Because of the flexibility of the open standards-based software system, the Holy See can easily integrate third-party products for increased security services into its new infrastructure.

Oooh, five nines. That always gives me a warm fuzzy. I don't get to see that much since most of my work is Windows.

I've always thought that you have the best nickname on FR. Been meaning to tell you before this.
God is real, unless declared integer. :)
First the Pope gets an ipod and now this? The Pope must like Silicon Valley.
God loves unix......
Is the standard...reality...
Son Microsystems!
It had to be Son computers ... The only windows they're interested in are stained glass. For sure, Microsoft Windows is no work of art! Apples have had a bad rep since Adam and Eve bit the big one ...
Maybe, but it ain't pretty. I just checked the sendmail on this boxen. It handles reverse bang addresses. How long has that been a dead standard?
Only thing missing is the kitchen sink... oh, wait... there it is.

LOL!
Well, that's apropos.
There are three things that convinced me that G-d not only exists, but that he loves us.
25% of my last admin evaluation required 0 hours 0 minutes downtime per year. I had a server up for over 1220 days before we had to physically move it. I mirrored and covered (at reduced capacity) until we got her set back up at the new location. Last I heard, she's still sucking up the kilowatt hours and pumping hot air into the server room.
Those apps were rock solid, and I had admin scripts to keep everything cooking.

Get a copy of Knoppix and boot it up. Under Toys (I think) is a small programm called "bb." It's quite amazing.

It could be a trick. If you look at the digits up side down, they read, "666.66." I think we know what that means . . . Scott's the Anti-Christ!!! |
