Axigen X Released
-
@axigen I'm sure I could look this up but while you are here... where in Europe are you based?
-
@scottalanmiller I havn't tried it yes, but I think the product is very interesting.
It supports Windows, great for shops without any Linux people. It's supported, which is a plus.

So, @aaronstuder , I take it you work for Axigen? I know the vendor badges here are voluntary, but it's kinda dickish to promote a product while pretending to not be a vendor....
He doesn't, I agree that it sounded that way, but I know that he doesn't work for them. He might be a customer, but not an employee.
His OP says "built on our unique mail server technology..." If he doesn't work for them, he's an unknowing shill (kinda worse in my book).

Point 2: We put a lot of effort to make Axigen run on the widest platform range. Choose what fits you — from Windows to many Linux flavors , BSD, or Solaris and feel free to switch anytime.
It's more than Linux and Windows and that's important because lots of people go after those two. Being officially supported on BSD and Solaris is really nice. I'm not going to say that it is a huge benefit, but it is a small one and a nice feature. I'd love to run my email on BSD or Solaris, rather than Linux, but that's pretty minor as long as it runs on CentOS. But that's me, I'm the .01% here. For nearly anyone, it is going to be Linux of some flavour. Because of the "non-open" nature, I'm sure that there is a solid Windows deploy base that open solutions do not have because they are going after the "we don't want open" market as well, which open products obviously cannot go after.

That's great. I agree that this is a major feature for a lot of customers. Not many here, but a lot in the general sense.

He's done that a few times before, it's odd so I took notice. He's copying their website or something and sometimes grabs pronouns or such that look weird if you don't know that he didn't write it himself.

Do you mean on Windows? Because I'm not aware of any email product that we would discuss that isn't supported.

We do have large SPs that run on Solaris as well as BSD taking advantage of ZFS to the fullest.

we are in Bucharest, Romania, here: https://www.axigen.com/about-us/contact/
That's what I was wondering and damn... you won't believe this.... I'll be there in a few hours. Packing for the flight literally as we speak. I leave at 5:30 am for Bucharest.

Sounds liek @scottalanmiller should get to tour the Axigen facilities and see this product up front and in person.

LOL, I've got plenty of opinion on ZFS as well
Not that it isn't good, I've worked with the ZFS team in fact, just that it is overused and misused way too often in the SMB.I'm intrigued that you have lots of users on those platforms, though. Very good to hear. Can you disclose... are they non-US customers? That seems a very non-American deployment strategy.

I would but I have my family with me and likely cannot. We are not planning (planning I say, for all I know we will) to stay in Bucharest. We are flying in there but en route to our new home up north. If I get stuck in town (a valid possibility) I might be able to meet.

Let's meet face to face tomorrow over a cup of coffee and we'll chat more. How long you'll be in Bucharest?

Sadly, the plan is only to get to the car and drive out. I'm relocating my family from Greece (Crete) to Transylvania tomorrow morning so I have my wife and two young kids with me as well.

@DustinB3403 Can you setup Exchange in just a couple hours? Can you run Exchange without Active Directory?
