The Benefits of Hosted Microsft Exchange

 

The advantages of outsourcing Microsoft Exchange to the cloud.

Microsoft Exchange is an email server solution from Microsoft that works extremely well for the small business as well as the enterprise.  Some of the great features of Microsoft Exchange is the ability to synchronize your email, contacts and tasks across multiple devices.  Every email you send or receive, every calendar appointment you make will synchronize with every device that’s configured with a Microsoft Exchange account. Whether you’re on a PC or MAC, Android or iPhone, all your emails & contacts will always be in sync.  There are other features, but that’s for another time.

Because Microsoft Exchange Server is such an important part of any business, it is critical to keep it up and running at all time.  Any down time could mean lost worker time, lost email and potentially lost business.  This is where hosted Microsoft Exchange service comes in.  Here are the major benefits of having a hosted exchange service, instead of having one onsite in your office.

• Deployment cost  – No need to purchase any hardware of software.  You only pay a small monthly for the licenses you need.
• Up time – By outsourcing the exchange service to a hosting company, you take advantage of their infrastructure, which includes reliable power sources with diesel generators, secure facility, and fire suppression systems.  No need to worry about anyone breaking in or an unforeseen circumstance such fire or flood.
• Redundant Internet – Multimillion dollar datacaenter come equipped with state of the art internet connection from multiple vendors.  Things like outages don’t exist.  The internet at these facilities will always be on.  When was the last time the internet connection at your office went down?  How much lost productivity did you encounter?  How many customer emails bounced back to sender?
• Maintenance –  maintenance is a very time & resource intensive task.  All needed maintenance is included with your hosted exchange account.
