Mailbox Rationale

The FastSync Hub® Mailbox is like a mainframe oriented mailbox system but ported down to a microprocessor client/server based platform.  It provides the power and security of a mainframe at the cost of a PC system.  Plus full audit trail capabilities for total file manageability.


Question.  Are you looking for a way to securely exchange EDI, CAD drawings, and other important data files with either your supplier, customer, or client base?  Perhaps other divisions?  Maybe companies in other countries?  Why pay $300,000 to $1,000,000 for a mainframe store-and-forward mailbox system that takes months to install and configure, then costs your customers thousands of dollars?  Is it time to consider an affordable Client/Server solution at a fraction of the cost?

Today, many Tier I & II suppliers are still using slow and costly sneakerware for sending mag-tapes and/or floppy and CD-ROM disks to their vendors and/or to other company locations.   E-mail is not secure enough - along with little in terms of audit trails.  Customer and Suppliers need an effective, secure and affordable solution for sending and receiving files electronically in order to compress time to market.

CTI Communications provides the solution... The FastSync Hub® Mailbox is like a mainframe oriented mailbox system but ported down to a microprocessor client/server based platform. It provides the power and security of a mainframe at the cost of a PC system.  Full audit trail capabilities for total file manageability.

The system offers suppliers a very sophisticated, yet affordable automated data management system along with a store-and-forward mailbox system that operates over standard dial-up telephone lines or over Frame-Relay LAN/WAN links between locations.  It can also be front-ended into your company's mainframe computer system.  If your company has so called "heavy duty" bulk data transfers, then send and receive over the digital ISDN lines at 64,000 to 128,000 bps. You may even be able to replace expensive T1 lines. 

Today, you may be spending thousands of dollars per month using some major 3rd Party Network or E-mail system.  Perhaps you employ individuals who have to generate magnetic tapes and/or floppy and CD-ROM disks that need to be sent via couriers like Federal Express or UPS.  Then, the FastSync Hub Mailbox system can dramatically reduce these types of costs.
