Hosting Email in the Cloud
Email is the most common first step when an organization begins migrating to the cloud. Why? Moving to an Enterprise Class Data Center gives you multiple internet providers and N+ 1 redundancy in server power. Combine these features with increased physical security and 24 hour video surveillance and you have a more reliable environment with increased security. Here are a few common questions and concerns for hosting your email in the cloud:
- What are the benefits of moving my email to the cloud? There are many benefits to the cloud. The two benefits that provide the largest impact are no hardware or OS licenses to purchase and you can free up your IT staff for mission critical tasks. When you move to a hosted or cloud environment, there is no hardware to purchase and maintain. This can streamline your budget into a predictable monthly recurring cost while eliminating the surprises of unexpected hardware upgrade, replacement, etc. You no longer have to be fielding support calls and maintenance to your mail server.
- Is it secure? You bet it is. We have several different types of Hosted Exchange with security being a priority. Whether you’re using our shared Cloud Exchange environment or we setup a dedicated server, the only one with access to your information is you. We also provide email encryption to ensure your messages are secure on route to their destination.
- Am I compliant? EarthLink is a fully compliant, SAS70 Type II certified facility. In addition, we also provide full HIPAA and GLBA compliant email hosting. More often than not, organizations with which we discuss compliant email with are not compliant with their current, in-house solution. We can provide encryption, archiving, and a dedicated environment with managed firewalls and custom security policies. Migrate your email to the cloud and let the experts handle your compliant environment.
- What about uptime and availability? We guarantee a 100% uptime when it comes to our network and facility. This is something we take very seriously. We provide carrier neutral bandwidth on multiple fiber rings with redundancy you simply can’t match internally. We also have 99.99% SLA guarantees on our managed services.
- Who manages my email? EarthLink is a Microsoft Gold Partner. Your Exchange environment is managed by our Microsoft Certified staff. We are Exchange experts and have 10+ years of managing hosted Exchange environments.
- Cost? When you look at the total cost for hardware, software and a dedicated email admin, migrating to the cloud can easily cut your email budget in half.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade to Exchange 2010 or simply migrating your current environment to the cloud, let us help. We make the transition painless and as seamless as possible. Contact us today to learn more.

RIM Now Offering BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express for Free
“Most organizations that use Microsoft Exchange as their corporate communication tool have staff that uses a BlackBerry device as well. Our clients are no different. During each deployment that I work on, I ask the question, “How many BlackBerry users do you have?” Knowing that the high cost for BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) licensing usually leads to sticker shock, I cringed each time.
I recently learned that Research In Motion (RIM), the company that makes BlackBerry products, now offers BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express for free! Having your own dedicated BES server will allow for seamless integration between your Microsoft Exchange environment and BlackBerry mobile devices. This eliminates any delays, outages, and other limitations that are commonly found with shared scenarios or relying on your mobile provider.
The first question I asked when hearing about this new offering was, “What were the limitations?” Great news, the majority of customers that I would work with can get by with the Express edition without a problem.
I called BlackBerry to get more details and they filled me in on only a couple minor limitations. First, there is no support for BlackBerry Mobile Voice System which I was told is rarely used anyways. Also, you’re limited to only 40 IT policies. And finally, you are limited to 75 users in a shared environment but allows for 200+ users in a dedicated server environment. From our experience, it’s best to deploy a BES server in a dedicated environment for optimal performance. So for the clients EarthLink will work with won’t be limited to the amount of users able to access the BES server.
For the small cost of a virtual dedicated server, we can install the free BES Express application and have you up and running in no time!”
