First Enterprise Application to be Built on
EOSIO Infrastructure for Decentralized Applications
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.”
