File and Print Sharing
The core of any network environment is easy and simple access to shared files and printers. The SME ServerV5 software, from Mitel Networks, allows for the easy sharing of files and printers to Windows and Macintosh clients. The "Information Bay" (i-bay) feature provides for easy and convenient information storage and retrieval by multiple groups via web, ftp or file sharing.
Internet Connection
Small business customers are looking for a simple solution that works with different types of connections to the Internet. The SME Server V5 software automates the process of connecting to the Internet. Just connect the server and supply your ISP account information. The server solution acts as a gateway for your entire network and requires no additional client software and minimal configuration. Users can immediately start browsing the Web, using email and other Internet services.
Email
With the pervasiveness of email, small businesses increasingly need to support email for all their employees. The SME Server V5 software provides a secure, reliable email server and allows for the easy creation of individual and group addresses. For greater versatility, it works with any mail client that uses the industry-standard IMAP, POP3, and SMTP protocols.
Firewall
Security is always a priority when a company starts using the Internet. The solution offers a multi-layer architecture, protecting the external interface through packet-filtering and service restriction. It offers selective address or port binding, application-level access control lists and protects the internal network from any intrusion.
Remote Access
Businesses with remote or branch sites or telecommuting employees require remote access to their email and to other resources on the local network. The SME Server V5 software provides multiple tools such as Webmail access to email using any browser, 128-bit PPTP (for secure client-to-server VPNs) and open ssh (secure shell) to provide encrypted access to the internal network and server resources for administrators.
Directory Services
Companies typically require a central directory of email addresses that all users can access. The SME Server V5 software features a robust directory service that can be used by most email clients (including Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator). This feature is implemented using the industry-standard LDAP protocol.
Web Hosting
Small businesses need a secure and reliable web presence and an intranet to communicate with employees. The SME Server V5 software includes the Apache web server used by over 60% of the Internet. The content can be easily edited and updated from desktop clients (including dynamic content). It also supports the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections for e-commerce.
In addition, the SME Server V5 software uses a Web-based interface to enable easy administration from any web browser on the internal network, password protected and accessible remotely via ssh or PPTP. It supports both hardware and software disk mirroring (RAID 1) for additional data protection. Additional services available through ServiceLink include:
- 24 x 7 monitoring of Internet connection and server status
- Protection from viruses spread by email
- Guaranteed email delivery
- Automatic DNS configuration and publication
- Automated configuration of IPSEC VPNs between offices
