Multi-Tenant Architecture

Overview

The building blocks for continuous innovation

Mime|OS makes continuous innovation part of the DNA of every Mimecast solution. Using a repository of high-functioning, granular software components known as microservices, Mimecast can bring new products to market faster and rapidly upgrade existing ones. This flexibility drives reactive adjustments required to quickly respond to emerging threats, but it also powers proactive and continuous development designed to protect your email environment, users, data, and brand to give you a long-term, sustainable cyber resilience strategy.

Benefits

Rapid development with a multi-layered security approach

Each Mime|OS microservice has a single well-defined purpose and a consistent interface to minimize interdependency. This allows Mimecast development teams to work in parallel and deploy at will with minimal risk to the overall service. It means we can more easily incorporate new services (both in-house and from third parties) and rapidly retire obsolete functionality when needed. This model forms part of our multi-tenant architecture to security because each component service must authenticate with other microservices when seeking to interact with them.

Solutions

The most current protections, always in place

As Mimecast enhances and expands its technology, Mime|OS allows for services to be updated centrally, with little or no intervention required by our customer community. Improvements, upgrades and new products or patches are immediately available to the entire Mimecast customer base. The result? You always have the most up-to-date protections in place.
