Email continuity for education

Email infrastructure that doesn't depend on Microsoft

Add a guaranteed execution layer to your existing email infrastructure. Keep critical emails flowing — even during outages, restrictions, or vendor failure.

The problem with depending on one provider

Your university runs on Microsoft 365. When Exchange goes down, when Microsoft throttles your sending, when a policy change blocks transactional email — your students don't get password resets, your faculty doesn't get meeting confirmations, and your admissions office goes dark.

Exchange Online limits

Microsoft Exchange Online caps at 10,000 recipients/day. Shared mailboxes: 10,000 emails/day. For a university with 30,000+ students, a single enrollment period can exhaust those limits.

Truncus handles transactional volume on dedicated infrastructure. Your Exchange stays clean for human communication.

Use cases

Transactional email continuity

Password resets, enrollment confirmations, grade notifications keep flowing even during Exchange outages.

System notifications

SIS, LMS, library systems send through Truncus instead of competing for Exchange quotas.

Fail-fast reliability

AWS SES in Ireland (eu-west-1). Circuit breakers detect failures fast and surface the exact error — no silent failures. Dual MX records keep inbound email flowing.

EU data residency

Sending from Ireland, email data stored in Frankfurt. University emails never leave Europe. GDPR-native by architecture. Full audit trail of every send.

Agent-powered admin

AI agents processing student requests, sending confirmations, handling routine admin email — with governance controls.
