Italian Libero Deploys Critical Path SmartStore

Critical
Path, Inc. and Libero Srl, an ISP
and email provider in Italy announced a collaborative effort.

Libero has deployed CP
SmartStore on its petabyte class, multi-tier storage infrastructure.
CP’s email storage optimization, SmartStore incorporates technology
that ‘Boosts Your Storage.’

Maximizes the value of current
storage assets
and delivers savings of over 35%:

• Leverages existing storage to increase
  quotas

• Reduces capital expenditure by
  investing in storage

• Meets consumer demand for increased
  storage capacity

• Competes with OTT mail providers for
  subscriber loyalty

These four elements are pillars to
increasing ARPU, reducing churn, and keeping customers happy, the
goal of service providers.

CP’s unified communications platform
embraces CDMI Cloud storage as a solution via SmartStore Cloud,
creating a mechanism for mailboxes to grow at petabyte scale. This approach
is an innovation compared to the classic, static SAN framework.
It provides a framework for data growth, based on user
demand, with the ability to scale over hundreds millions of mailboxes
and hundred of thousand of domains.

A second SmartStore benefit is its
eco-friendliness. With 35% savings in space, it reflects a
green approach to email. Less space means lower power consumption and
higher efficiency, making any data-center more effective and
efficient.

"We are pleased to have Libero
as the first CP client choosing our latest innovation in storage
management. SmartStore and SmartStore Cloud further strengthen our
leading position in Unified Communications" shared Mark
Palomba, CEO of CP. "In fact, The Radicati Group recently
rated CP as a Top Player in Messaging Platforms for Service
Providers. We view innovations such as CP SmartStore as validation of
that industry leadership," Palomba added.

Antonio Converti, CEO of Libero, said: "We are always looking for new ways of improving our
services. That’s why we chose CP as our partner. Storage management
is an important issue, both for us and our clients, and we want to
offer our users only the best services on the market. The needs of
email users are continuously evolving, and with CP we’re always a
step ahead. As the first email service in Italy, Libero is committed
to innovation."
