Mimecast, a cloud-based unified e-mail management company, today announced support for Microsoft Exchange 2010, easing migration headaches and controlling costs while unlocking the immediate benefits of Microsoft's newest 64-bit architecture.
Avoiding expensive on-premise management overheads and removing the need for .PST files, Mimecast's Unified Email Management (UEM) suite of services now fully supports Microsoft Exchange 2010 and provides a single-platform approach to archiving, security, continuity and policy control; integrating seamlessly into customers' existing - or newly planned - IT infrastructures.
For Microsoft Exchange administrators concerned about possible e-mail downtime and risks to data security during migration to Microsoft Exchange 2010, Mimecast helps in three ways:
* Adopting Mimecast prior to any Exchange 2010 migration offers 100% SLA-backed continuity of e-mail service and archive access throughout, as well as ensuring data security.
* With the migration complete, Mimecast offers a unique level of SaaS based integration for mailbox management in Exchange 2010.
* Crucially, Mimecast offers the ongoing benefits of archiving, security, continuity and compliance functionality at a fraction of the cost of on-premise solutions.
“Microsoft Exchange 2010 is fantastic, but to leverage all the new capabilities you've got to be pretty committed to building out a lot more infrastructure. In reality, most of us are thinking about running fewer boxes ourselves nowadays,” commented Peter Bauer, co-founder and CEO of Mimecast. “So we think in terms of deploying Exchange 2010 according to a 'Just Enough On-Site' philosophy. This works by running your own Exchange system, sized according to your businesses appetite for additional boxes and storage, and then connected up to the Mimecast cloud for long-term storage, search, security services and high availability.”
Benefits of the new Mimecast service for Microsoft Exchange include:
* Greater consistency and continuity for e-mail users: Whether using Outlook during a system outage or connecting to e-mail via the Web using Mimecast Personal Portal (MPP), Mimecast offers users comprehensive replication of Outlook folder structures for even greater consistency of service.
* Automated message management controls: Organisations are able to enforce their existing records management policies to e-mail messages in a consistent and automated manner, facilitating adherence to best practice guidelines and meeting regulatory compliance.
* Load reduction on Microsoft Exchange: With Mimecast's comprehensive security and attachment controls, IT managers can actually reclaim bandwidth. Mimecast technology also uses a cloud archive service, allowing items to be removed from mailboxes much sooner, improving overall server performance.
