Service architecture

Built like a router, not a repository.

mxHERO serves most clients (13,000+ domains and more than a million active users) from its Amazon AWS cluster, run by a small team with decades of enterprise and telco operations experience.

The service is a gateway: email is processed in transit for integration with cloud storage, not retained. Processing normally takes under 30 seconds, after which local temporary copies are deleted. All temporary storage uses encrypted file systems, so data is encrypted at rest at all times.

Service monitoring

Watched around the clock, by overlapping systems.

Continuous internal and external monitoring with automated self-correction keeps availability above 99.9% per month and enables proactive defense, 24×7.

Statuspage

Live, on-demand service status for customers at status.mxhero.com. Trust is built on transparency.

Zabbix

Enterprise real-time monitoring of metrics across mxHERO’s servers, virtual machines and network devices.
