Inware Shuttle Manager™ is an industry-proven mail utility designed to migrate e-mail, attachments, calendars, contacts, folders, directories and mail lists. Shuttle Manager can migrate to and from virtually all email platforms while maintaining the integrity of each message.
Scalable, Proven Architecture
Since its introduction to the marketplace in 1995, the Shuttle Manager has successfully performed e-mail migrations for organizations Worldwide. The Shuttle Manager provides a solid migration solution for small businesses with as few as 10 users, to larger projects with more than 500,000 users.
Performance Driven
Shuttle Manager has the ability to migrate data 5 times faster than the standard free migration wizard. Its modular architecture enables the extraction and loading of e-mail data to occur as separate processes; providing maximum flexibility for incorporating e-mail migration into current processes.
Reliable, Accurate Conversion
Shuttle Manager provides complete address conversion in message headers, calendars and groups, ensuring all messages can be forwarded and replied to post migration.

Parallel Migration Support
Shuttle Manager supports parallel installations of the migration console enabling multiple servers to extract and load simultaneously - significantly reducing migration time.
DirSync™
The Directory Synchronization™ (DirSync) provides enterprise quality two-way directory synchronization with such e-mail systems as Lotus Domino, Novell GroupWise, Microsoft Exchange, and LDAP2 and LDAP3-compliant directories as well as others. DirSync performs a point-to-point synchronization leading to a two-step process for each email system. This point-to-point architecture eliminates the need to declare a “master” and “slave” relationship between the directories. This was designed so that each local directory is an authority on its local IDs. Once a change is detected on the local system, it is then propagated out to the systems of which it is connected. This process ensures that when local administrators make changes to an ID, that any change (address or phone number) is updated on the
system(s)
Architecture
Inware Shuttle Manager’s architecture consists of an Extractor, which extracts data into a meta file, then transfers the meta file to a Shuttle Loader. Each Extractor and Loader can be run on one machine, or has the flexibility to extract data locally at one location, and then transfer the files to the Loader on another machine at another location.
Multiple instances of the E-Mail Shuttle can run simultaneously providing scalability for
managing multiple migration projects.
The E-Mail Shuttle architecture offers an administrator the flexibility to migrate only certain data elements with select users. For example, if there was not a requirement to migrate calendar data for the Human Resources Department, but this data was required to be migrated for the offices of the Executive staff, Inware Shuttle provides the administrator this option.
The Shuttle Manager manages migrations from server to server; thus, eliminating the need for end-user intervention during the migration process.
Fidelity of data types is preserved including attachments, RTF, HTML, free/busy, priority and sensitivity flags, categories, read/unread marks and others.
