WidgetWeb Webmail
WidgetWeb webmail is a Web-based email, calendaring, and file sharing for new and growing businesses. Each account supports unlimited users with email at jane@yourcompany.com addresses. WidgetWeb webmail supports an unlimited number of users for only $4.99 per user, per month. As a reflection of WidgetWeb’s commitment to providing a true business class service, users will never see banner, text or other advertisements within the application, and the use of partner services is entirely optional.
WidgetWeb webmail provides administrative tools for managing users and accounts across an organization. Email accounts can be personalized to reflect a company’s domain name for a more professional appearance – such as johndoe@yourcompany.com – and come with 10GB of email storage and file sharing – the highest capacity of any online business application. With WidgetWeb webmail, users can be up and running in minutes with a solution designed to meet their business needs.

WidgetWeb webmail is accessible via the world’s most popular Web browsers (including IE, Firefox, Netscape, and Mozilla), and operating systems including Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Macintosh OS X / Linux.
Datacenter & Technology
WidgetWeb webmail presently maintains two geographically diverse datacenters: A private, caged co-location in Elmsford, NY owned and operated by MCI/Verizon Business, as well as a 7,200 sq. ft. data center located in Pittsford, NY. The Elmsford facility is considered WidgetWeb's primary datacenter, and the Pittsford facility is considered the firm's secondary datacenter.
Our primary, Tier One datacenter’s entire Internet infrastructure was built to withstand complete loss of connectivity from multiple vendors, and still perform fast and reliably. Multiple OC-192, and OC-48 pipelines connect WidgetWeb’s datacenters to hundreds of public and private peering relationships reliably and quickly to deliver Internet data. The system relies on a series of redundant router configurations and standby routers to provide instant and redundant failover of an entire Internet connection, should there be any hardware, software, or connection failure, and our entire Internet pipeline is monitored by trained personnel to spot network slowdowns, hardware failures, or other problems.
The datacenter is highly secure, and is protected by hardened walls and doors. WidgetWeb’s servers and data storage devices are only accessible to authorized employees that pass through metal detectors, photo verification, and fingerprint-based biometric identification. The center’s systems are supported on two separate power grids: diesel back-up generators, and UPS-based battery backup.
The WidgetWeb webmail architecture is built on a network layer utilizing Cisco routers, switches, and Pix firewalls. All of the networking gear is built on a redundant N+1 active/passive model, enabling full fail-over of all traffic in the case of downtime. A redundant cluster of F5 load balancers provide Layer 7 application level failover. The application tier utilizes Red Hat Linux ES4 and Fedora operating systems. All servers are built into large clusters with more than a dozen servers per cluster. These clusters each perform a dedicated function such as MX transfer, enabling efficient single function operation of a given server.
