Enterprise-Class Technology & Uptime
Very few companies have in-house qualified staff or an enterprise-grade Exchange infrastructure to prevent downtime. In fact, around 70% of businesses suffer downtime of some kind each year, which conservatively costs an average of $42,000 per hour, according to Gartner Research.
With redundant power supplies, cooling and Internet connectivity, plus clustered servers and a SAN for storage, our datacenters guarantee an outstanding 99.999% email uptime.
Additionally, hosted exchange technicians are focused on keeping specific servers running 24x7, rather than working on a range IT hardware and software. Thus guaranteeing the reliability your company deserves.
Easy and Cost Effective Wireless Email
Running separate email and wireless email servers can be an expensive nightmare, as they are often in different locations and require skilled teams to keep them online.
Our hosted Exchange data center runs BlackBerry®, ActiveSync and Good Mobile Messaging, so getting hosted Exchange email on a BlackBerry®, Treo or other wireless email is simple. Just ‘switch on’ the service and it works. There’s no tricky configuration, no expensive hardware or software to buy and no maintenance needed.
Continuous Protection
Last year alone, 15,000 new viruses and security threats were discovered. With overstretched staff and resources, in-house IT teams often fall behind on back-ups or updating anti-spam and anti-virus software.
With hosted Exchange, this is never a problem. Back-ups are performed on a regular and scheduled basis, with the latest anti-spam and anti-virus updates constantly applied across all servers. Given today’s huge array of IT security threats, you can outsource Exchange just to have confidence that you are shielded from the crippling loss of your entire email system.
