Email Hosting
With so much business now done by email, organisations need a robust, business-grade email system that they can rely on.
But installing, configuring, maintaining and upgrading a professional email application server in-house demands specialist knowledge and costly resource to support the system over the long term. And that's before you've even started choosing and managing appropriate virus protection or adding storage and backup.
Advantage takes away the hassle of managing your own email service and offers significant cost savings by hosting your own dedicated Microsoft Exchange Server® in one of our world-class data centres. Our professional team will deliver a managed service including installation, maintenance and support of your service, delivering email that works as hard as you do.
How does it work?
We host your Microsoft Exchange® server in one of our world-class data centres and connect it to your offices. Our fully-managed professional email service delivers all the benefits of Microsoft Exchange - easy to use email, shared calendars and workspaces, address books and to do lists. It includes pro-active server and network monitoring and management and a thorough virus scanning and quarantine service that blocks and suppresses threats to your corporate network.
With Advantage hosted email, you get a webmail service that lets your staff use all the features of Microsoft Exchange® including picking up and sending email messages from their own account anywhere in the world. We can also integrate BlackBerry® Enterprise Servers to give your staff access to email on the move. Our in-built backup service means your email is always backed up and fully retrievable - right down to a single email.
