Macquarie Telecom to offer hosted Microsoft Exchange

IT Industry - Market

Macquarie Telecom's hosting division has launched a dedicated managed Microsoft Exchange service designed t organisations with more than one hundred email boxes that have critical email and mobile communication requirements.

Macquarie says the service offers each customer their own dedicated managed infrastructure to ensure flexibility, security and control. The service will offer customers corporate email access via supported mobile devices including PDAs, notebooks, mobile phone or BlackBerry.

Macquarie argues that for many businesses email is now too critical a component of their operations to be easily managed in house. "The growing demands placed on business email including availability, reliability, security and corporate governance mean that effectively managing an in-house mail server can be a very costly and time-consuming proposition," said Aidan Tudehope, managing director Macquarie Hosting.

"Hosted Exchange makes sense for businesses that are growing rapidly, have complex communication requirements or do not have the staff resources to manage a mail server in-house," he added.

Macquarie says it offers a fully redundant and clustered backup solution and a team of 24x7 support engineers as well as a dedicated system administrators to ensure high-availability and redundancy.
