Enterprise-class technology and uptime

Very few companies have in-house the qualified staff or 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 99.9% email uptime.

Hosted Exchange technicians are also focused on keeping specific servers running 24x7, rather than working on a range IT hardware and software. As a result, they can guarantee 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 datacenter also 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 (like BlackBerry Enterprise Server), and no maintenance needed.

Continuous protection

15,000 new viruses and security threats were discovered last year alone. Even so, with overstretched staff and resources, in-house IT teams with even the best intentions 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.

Is email hosting really your core business? Hosted Microsoft Exchange from us will give you affordable business email, with instant wireless email access, total protection against security threats, and guaranteed 99.9% uptime.
