Messaging Software Technology
Global Relay's core messaging technology is truly enterprise-class, operating entirely in a Sun Unix environment, with the front-end firewalls, networks, switches, load balancers and servers engineered by HP's High Performance Computing Division, and the back-end anchored by BlueArc's Titan Heads, their integrated NAS/SAN storage systems, all redundantly hosted offsite in Global Relay's mirrored East and West coast data centers in MCI's world-class facilities. In over seven years of operations, Global Relay has never had a single incident of message loss, nor a security issue resulting in customer data being lost. Our record is unmatched and is architected on the following high performance, innovative combination of technology which powers the Global Relay suite of hosted messaging services:
Global Relay is the global leader in hosted messaging technology services. The nucleus of Global Relay's systems is its proprietary messaging software
Why Global Relay? Global Relay developed, owns and operates its own messaging software technology. The infrastructure has been developed and advanced over seven years by a professional team of programmers and messaging software architects, while being maintained, operated and monitored by the most experienced system administrators and technical support teams. This provides Global Relay with the controls needed to efficiently adapt to changing messaging technologies, market demands, regulatory compliance requirements and customer feedback. Having no third party licensing fees or reliance, Global Relay is able to provide enterprise services at a cost-effective price, while maintaining consistent reliability and innovation.

Sun Microsystems, the global supplier of network computing solutions, powers Global Relay with its core operating systems - the Solaris 10 OS.
Why Sun? With over 100 world records to its name, the sophisticated Solaris 10 OS, Sun's open source OS, was chosen by Global Relay due to its unmatched enterprise security, performance, reliability and massive scalability - everything that Global Relay strives for in delivering its services to its customers.
Highlights: Solaris 10 includes more than 600 features that make it the most efficient, secure, and reliable operating system ever built, including rock-solid Solaris security, controlled access and identity management; Dynamic Tracing (real-time tool debugging and performance optimization), which when combined with the Solaris Zettabyte File System (ZFS) provides Global Relay with a bullet proof file system and volume manager designed with essentially unlimited storage to provide end-to-end checksumming to ensure data consistency.

BlueArc is the world leader in network storage innovation. BlueArc provides Global Relay with its redundant NAS/SAN storage systems.
Why BlueArc? By leveraging BlueArc's Titan NAS/SAN Storage Systems, Global Relay provides high-speed access to indexed message data through Fibre Channel arrays. Mirrored Titan storage systems are deployed in Global Relay's East and West Coast Data Centers offering a fully-redundant solution, as well as providing the ability to store data in a tamperproof WORM format for compliance archiving and electronic discovery. With Titan's multi-tiered storage, and the ability to continue expanding safely and securely through hundreds of terabytes per device, Global Relay's requirements for performance, scalability, and total storage capacity are also satisfied.
Highlight: A key aspect of BlueArc's silicon-based Titan technology is its blindingly fast speed - holding the world record for messaging capacity and performance, delivering the equivalent of 30 million messages per day on the SPECmail benchmark, a standardized test developed by messaging vendors and research organizations. With BlueArc as the core of Global Relay's storage, customer data is safe, secure, and instantly retrievable.
