The Mimecast platform is the unique grid-like software architecture that provides comprehensive underlying services to each of Mimecast's modular products.

These services include advanced MTA functions, LDAP directory synchronisation, storage, multi-site replication, multi-tenancy, common policy engine, access control and many more. Because of Mimecast's unique, unified architecture every product module is able to work together to provide powerful features, enhanced security and easy administration. The platform also provides dynamic load balancing, failover and multi-site distribution to support maximum performance and continuous service availability.

Mimecast's architecture and tireless investment in research and innovation are among the things that makes the company different from its peers in the managed service industry. Instead of assembling a stack of 3rd party products and wrapping these in a web based reporting and administration "skin", Mimecast is built from the ground up as a comprehensive modular service delivery platform.

This is why they are able to consistently beat their competitors with feature richness, service levels and value for money.
