Norwegian ISP Altibox chooses Alinto's secure email platform to provide messaging services to its clients
31.5.2023 11:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Norwegian ISP Altibox has decided to outsource its email platform to Alinto, with the aim of modernising its messaging services for 180 000 clients in the Nordics. The services provided are based on the SOGomail server and the Cleanmail security service, hosted by Alinto. This move happens a few months after the takeover of the SOGo open-source project by Alinto. It confirms the editors’ ability to address projects on an international scale and cover the whole email chain with GDPR-compliant solutions.
Modernisation of an email platform used by 180 000 clients
Until 2022, Altibox had a messaging platform built and operated in-house. As that platform started to require extensive maintenance operations, Altibox had to move to a new solution.
"We had two options : discontinue the service and delete all the emails – which was not acceptable from a client standpoint, or outsource our email services as we did not have any internal resources to create a new solution”, Marius Ekeland explains.
Thus, the company, which provides email services to 180 000 clients, decided to outsource to an external provider. “Email service is not our core business. We just need to deliver it in the correct way, with a secure manner”, Thomas Lunde adds.
Aligned on features, datacenter compliance and ecological expectations
After issuing an RFP, Altibox chose Alinto's solutions. The services provided are based on the SOGomail server and Cleanmail security service hosted by Alinto. The ISP appreciated the simplicity of the product and the operational stability of the Alinto solution. “Their package provides the best value for us, as it includes insights and access to support as well as an administration portal. This would give us the visibility we needed to properly run the service.
Also, the data centers’ locations are GDPR-compliant and have high ecological expectations. That is essential for us”, Thomas Lunde notes.
Meeting security and migration expectations
Security is of primary importance for Altibox. “The Cleanmail functionality is a big bonus for us because we are constantly strengthening the security of our services as an ISP. So, that matched our strategy”, Markus Ekeland confirms.
Migration of existing mailboxes was a big challenge with 180 terabytes of data to migrate. During migration Alinto’s teams came on-site. “The technical migration went smoothly. We migrated compressed data files, with some uncertainty about what would be the final volume, once uncompressed. Alinto had to make some short notice adjustments, and they proved to be very reactive. From my end, I am really happy because it is a big move”, Thomas Lunde adds.

Xsolla Launches Game Biz Institute, an Editorial Platform Where Industry Practitioners Explain the Business of Games27.8.2026 18:32:00 EEST | Press release
Xsolla, a global commerce company, today announced the launch of Game Biz Institute (GBI), an editorial platform where named industry practitioners and researchers examine the commercial layer of games: direct-to-player distribution, payments, monetization, user acquisition, and retention. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260827362663/en/ Graphic: Xsolla Game design has a curriculum. The business of games does not. Engines, pipelines, production, and narrative are taught at hundreds of universities, while the commercial machinery that determines whether good work becomes a durable company is still learned through expensive trial and error, usually after the decisions that mattered have already been made. GBI was built to close that gap by publishing what practitioners have actually learned running these businesses. "Game developers have never had more data and less clarity," said Chris Hewish, President of Xsol
