Case Study: Lineas achieves secure, future-ready email modernization with Mimecast

Lineas - Modernisation is Now Easy Feat, Especially for ICT

Lineas, Europe’s largest private rail freight operator, was rapidly expanding across the continent and preparing a large ICT modernization while still relying on an aging on-prem Exchange email environment. With about 500 virtual servers and a planned move out of the public railway data centre, Lineas needed a scalable, secure way to maintain email performance and integrity during a multi-year migration to cloud and colocation infrastructure.

By deploying Mimecast’s archiving and security services, Lineas offloaded mail servers through deduplicated archiving, ensured zero data loss during transition, and blocked malicious links and phishing attempts to reduce user risk. The result was improved mailbox performance, faster email workflows for employees, stronger protection against malware and data leaks, and a platform that easily accommodates future security features and reporting capabilities.
