Why Host Microsoft Exchange with Us
 |
With Ambient IT Exchange Hosting, your data is stored on the most expensive, premium infrastructure, an EMC storage area network (SAN). |
- 500 MB or 4 GB space. Other providers include far too little space, then charge outrageous fees for extra storage. We offer affordable 500 MB mailboxes or Microsoft-recommended 4 GB mailboxes for your email.
- Fully-aggregated. Your disk space is shared across your whole account, so you can give a huge 5 GB mailbox to the CEO and basic 150 MB mailboxes to part-time workers, for instance.
- Zero downtime. Our EMC SAN systems have been running continuously for three years – with no downtime whatsoever!
- Unparalleled speed. Utilizing a fiber channel connection to our server clusters, performance of our hosted Exchange is extremely fast.
Reliability and Uptime
Our service operates out of a tier-one datacenter, with state-of-the-art cooling, power supply, backup generator and fire suppressants. For you this means that your email is constantly running. Your Exchange service will run on clustered servers and an EMC storage area network – so if one server or disk drive stops working, your email keeps working.
As well as offering the highest-quality IT infrastructure, we do nightly backups to protect your data. For your peace of mind, we offer a 99.9% service-level agreement (SLA) which allows for just a few minutes of email downtime each month.
24X& Monitoring and Management
To further ensure reliability, we employ a team of Microsoft Exchange engineers and administrators 24/7. So if a server problem occurs at 3am on a Sunday morning, we will be there to solve it – in a matter of minutes. This same team installs Microsoft software patches immediately, as well as anti-virus and anti-spam updates, for full protection.
Add-on Features
We offer a complete range of add-on features. For instance, hosted BlackBerry and GoodLink (for Treos and other devices), so you can instantly activate email service for your handheld. Rather than spending thousands of dollars on your own server, you can use our managed service for just a few dollars a month.
You can also add archiving – from simple message journaling, to keep an exact copy of all your message, to compliant archiving, which fulfils regulatory requirements from the SEC, NASD, HIPAA and so on. Also available is fax via email, which gives you a local fax number and emails your faxes to you as PDFs.
PC or MAC
Many Exchange hosting companies do not offer both Outlook 2003 (for PC) and Entourage 2004 (for Mac) support. We offer a free download of both, so your staff can use either PCs and Macs, or both.
