Whitepapers

Performance, Stability, Scalability

All three of products which together comprise the Isode Service Provider offering, return performance figures unmatched in their class whilst demonstrating the robustness and security required in an internet messaging environment.

M-Switch

M-Switch Anti-Spam was benchmarked against the open source product SpamAssassin (popular with many Service Providers with high-volume spam processing requirements) and found to be significantly superior in both message processing speed and spam identification accuracy.

When processing messages M-Switch Anti-Spam (using the included SMTP message switching) was over 700% faster than than SpamAssassin (using Postfix as the message switch).

M-Switch Anti-Spam intercepted in excess of 95% of spam with a false positive rate of 0.15%. M-Switch Anti-Spam, when combined with the message quarantine features described here, ensures that spam is effectively filtered whilst no vital business messages are lost. Details on how the benchmarking was conducted and the results can be found here.

M-Box

In benchmarks described in this whitepaper, M-Box was compared to a range of leading competitive IMAP servers using MStone, a freely available industry standard stress and performance measurement tool.

M-Box significantly outperformed competing products in terms of both transactions per second and errors generated. The differences were particularly marked at higher load levels, demonstrating the excellent scalability of M-Box.

M-Vault

In tests against OpenLDAP using the independent DirectoryMark test framework, read and search functions were assessed as well writing and loading mixed tests combining a variety of operations to simulate a general purpose directory operational environment.

M-Vault consistently outperformed OpenLDAP across all tests for database sizes ranging from 50,000 entries 1 million entries.
