IceWarp has announced today a hassle-free migration package from Kerio Connect to its award-winning IceWarp Messaging Server. The global messaging and collaborations solutions provider reacted to a growing exodus of Kerio customers, starting to move to IceWarp after May 1st, 2012, when Kerio removed all free support options beyond installation period.
“After we had several Kerio customers flocking to us in a matter of just two days, we decided to do something to make their transition as painless as possible,” says Ladislav Goc, IceWarp President. “We immediately allocated additional resources and our team rapidly developed a tool that makes the transfer fast and easy.”
The new package was built on the experience IceWarp gained after deploying its Zero Downtime Migration option from Microsoft Exchange to its IceWarp Messaging Server at the end of 2011. Numerous organizations made the most of this process and got superior messaging capabilities with a higher degree of stability, lower ownership costs and no workflow disruptions throughout the transition process.
Benefits of the Kerio-IceWarp Migration Package include:
• Zero Downtime – Using the IceWarp Kerio Migration Package companies can migrate from their Kerio environment with zero downtime, allowing users to remain online as usual. The Kerio migration tool runs alongside IceWarp’s e-mail migration tool. They run in unison to ensure all Kerio users, email, contacts, and calendars are migrated completely.
• Contacts and Calendars Synchronized – allows companies to easily move their Contacts and Calendars from their existing Kerio server to IceWarp.
• User Clean-Up - allows companies to choose the users they wish to migrate offering an administrator the option to leave unused accounts out.
• Cross-Platform Migrations – due to IceWarp being a multi-platform product, companies can move from Kerio to IceWarp on both Linux and Windows.
The migration time varies depending on the amount of users and data size. In a recent case, a Kerio migration was executed for a 150 user company with a total of 200GB of email and other data. The migration took 2.5 hours to fully complete, migrating all email, contacts, calendars, and users to the IceWarp platform with zero downtime. Also, the customer appreciated a richer, more user-friendly Web client and an array of additional features.
