Comparing Software Editions

ClarkConnect is available in three different Editions:

Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise Edition provides the full set of server/gateway features.  Along with all the mail, file, proxy, network, firewall and security features, the Enterprise Edition offers a variety of groupware tools and applications.

Office Edition

The Office Edition is designed for organizations that require a secure and powerful server/gateway, but do not require the groupware features available in the Enterprise Edition.

Community Edition

The Community Edition is designed for those with small budgets.  The Community Edition is limited to 10 mailboxes, but includes all the groupware features for all your collaboration needs.  The edition is best suited for home networks, home offices and small organizations.

Which Solution?


What is a mailbox?

A user is defined as an account on the system.  A mailbox is a user with optional e-mail services enabled.  Mailboxes not only store mail messages, but also contacts, calendars, task and notes.

Example -- Consider a retail store with 30 part-time retail sales clerks and 10 full-time staff.  40 users are configured in all, but only the 10 full-time staff require e-mail.  The part-time staff only use their account to login for Internet access.
