Tegu is a russian modern geo-distributed high-load server software running on the customer’s hardware (on-premise) running Linux OS, including a mail services, address books and calendar services.
Tegu is entirely of Russian origin, developed from scratch as a high-load cluster application, does not have any borrowings, and is also built on the basis of the original architecture. The essence of our approach to development was perfectly formulated by Ivan Panchenko (Postgres Professional): “The very concept of import substitution includes a lag and the need to catch up. Technological sovereignty is a prerequisite for leadership.It requires long systematic work on development of our own mature products, create new, advanced technologies and products based on them, including those that have no analogues in the world and not a formal plugging of holes in the Registry”.
The server is registered in the Russian software registry, supports the all range of russian operating systems and hardware architectures, and is able to integrate with a large number of related systems. TEGU is able to integrate with a large number of related systems (directory servers, databases, antivirus and antispam systems, SIEM systems and others). The server is intended for those users who are interested in the complete security of their own data hosted on their own hardware.
The unique properties of TEGU
The server was originally created as a high-load server application. All server components are differed by their original philosophy and architecture, what has a positive effect on its actual security, undemanding hardware resources and ease of installation and maintenance. Some unique properties of the server are given below:
- Completely in-house development (without borrowing code or libraries). That doesn’t mean that we couldn’t fork something suitable from the Internet and put our own label on it. There is simply nothing to fork – Open Source does not have components suitable for highly loaded servers.
- TEGU is a high-load application that uses asynchronous data processing mode.
- TEGU is a scalable application. It is a cluster of symmetric independent computing nodes.
- TEGU is a hot standby application. The cluster retains full functionality as long as at least one server node is operational.
- TEGU does not use a multi-layered architecture (frameworks, libraries, etc.). This fundamental property facilitates installation and updating, and most importantly, reduces the attack surface by several orders of magnitude. Consequently, it leads to a qualitatively new level of safety and fault tolerance under critical loads.
- TEGU is a secure application. In other words, the security features are integrated into the application itself. TEGU does not require a proxy installed in front of it, it works safely directly.
- TEGU is undemanding to hardware resources, its performance is 20 times higher than its analogues.
- TEGU does not synchronize directory server data, so it basically cannot compromise user credentials.
- TEGU has a built-in unique mail migration system from other servers.
- TEGU is not installed from deb, rpm or snap. Tegu is the only monolithic compiled executable file that does not use system libraries (all of them were written by us independently). This ensures that the developer has full control over the code behavior, no conflicts with the OS batch database, and saves hardware resources. The consequence of this property is also the ease of installation and maintenance of the server.
- TEGU does not have inter-node traffic. Due to this, the number of computing nodes is theoretically unlimited and in fact we have not exhausted. This allows you to scale the server to hundreds of thousands of users.
- TEGU never, under any pretext, sends your data, statistics, licensing information, does not perform automatic updates, does not check the availability of new versions and does not install remote plugins. It only sends mail to your users.
The described properties make TEGU unique in the line of mail servers. Code independence (non-use of other people’s components) in combination with a competent architecture makes the application completely predictable and reliable in operation. Thanks to this, we were able to reduce the costs of technical support and development. That’s why TEGU comes at reasonable prices.
TEGU Editions
- TEGU Enterprise – symmetric fault-tolerant scalable cluster with data storage (configurations, queues, messages, etc.) in the Postgres DB.
- A free edition of TEGU (Freeware) is also available for small businesses. TEGU (freware) is built on the classic (simplest) architecture based on Maildir storage, without support for address books and calendars.
