Amazon launches WorkMail, a cloud-based enterprise email and calendar service designed to replace traditional email back-ends while being compatible with existing email clients such as Microsoft Outlook.
It uses a number of AWS services, including Amazon services including Amazon WorkDocs (aka Amazon Zocalo), the Directory Service, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Also included is security, with encryption keys managed via AWS Key Management Service.
Customers from countries insisting on further privacy, such as Germany, get tools to also ensure emails are only stored in designated geographical regions.
Amazon WorkMail is available now on a subscription basis.
