First Enterprise Application to be Built on EOSIO
Infrastructure for Decentralized Applications
BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Synacor (Nasdaq: SYNC), today announced that Zimbra
X, the new email-as-a-service version of its globally popular Zimbra
email and collaboration software platform, is now in beta on the EOSIO
software protocol, and is planned to roll out to hundreds of thousands
of EOSIO community members in the coming months.
Zimbra X has been built from the ground up to be a container-based,
cloud-native product that can powerfully leverage the advancements of
blockchain technology. It is designed for reliability and redundancy and
makes it easy to upgrade components or continuously deploy new features
without downtime. It is highly customizable for organizations of all
sizes and is compatible with highly regulated industries such as
healthcare and finance.
“The considerable work we’ve put into building the Zimbra X architecture
to be flexible for any cloud environment enabled us to quickly develop
and deploy for blockchain,” said Himesh Bhise CEO of Synacor. “We
believe Zimbra is in an ideal position to leverage blockchain technology
to deliver a revolutionary email product at this time.”
Users of Zimbra X with blockchain will provide verified identities to
register an account. The service will deliver one of the world’s most
advanced email solutions due to the use of authentication, databases,
and asynchronous communication native to the blockchain architecture
upon which it’s built.
“Zimbra X is a modern email application with open APIs for easy
connection to popular blockchain registration systems,” said Erynn
Petersen, Senior Vice President of Platform Products at Synacor.
“Extensive research into various blockchain solutions resulted in Zimbra
X living on EOSIO technology. Its scalable high performance allows
mainstream consumer products to leverage blockchain capabilities. We
expect EOSIO to continue to emerge as a leading blockchain operating
system.”
