IBM® Global High Availability Mailbox

Global Mailbox is a robust and reliable way to store message data from partners in any geography. As a component of Sterling B2B Integrator, this component enables customers who have licensed Sterling B2B Integrator to optionally pay for an add-on component that provides high availability mailboxing to exchange files.

This high-availability mailboxing capability allows clients to deploy a B2B platform that can sustain continuous operations plus offer differentiating disaster recovery capabilities to the market. Global Mailbox provides data storage across geographically distributed locations. Data is routed to the nearest available server, and then replicated quickly across data centers so that the data is available even if a data center is not accessible. Applications that are enabled for Global Mailbox listen for mailbox events to trigger application level actions, such as to initiate further processing.
