Benefits for IT staff
When you host your Microsoft Exchange configuration with Intermedia, your IT staff is relieved of the management headache that comes along with in-house set ups.
Intermedia manages everything for you, so your IT staff never has to think about it. We manage:
- All hardware. We have staff working 24 hours a day to ensure that our premium hardware is working at its optimum performance.
- Software updates and upgrades. We always have the latest patches, upgrades and versions available to you as soon as we possibly can. You’ll never have to manage another email upgrade again.
- 24x7 Support. Our highly-trained and Microsoft Gold Certified staff is always available to help you with any problems you’re having with your Exchange account.
With Intermedia’s complete management, your IT team is free to focus on your core business – rather than Exchange server emergencies.
Intermedia provides you with a completely dedicated service that is uniquely configured to your business needs. We provide:
- Fully dedicated servers with an option to cluster.
- Dedicated Active Directory with an option to integrate with your internal Active Directory registry.
- Dedicated support team as an optional service, if necessary. If your Exchange implementation is large enough to warrant a dedicated support team, we are happy to comply.
Your Intermedia Exchange configuration is completely dedicated, just as it would be if you hosted the entire environment in-house. The only difference is, your IT staff doesn’t have the headache of managing it themselves.
Deploying Exchange in-house often takes many months which means hundreds of hours of your staff’s valuable time. With Intermedia’s hosted Microsoft Exchange, we can deploy the entire solution in a matter of days or weeks, depending on what level of configuration you need.
Once we’ve reached an agreement on your configuration requirements, Intermedia’s team of engineers will order the necessary hardware and begin working to set up your Exchange environment. We build everything exactly as you’ve requested it and the entire service is ready for you to use far faster than it would be if you began building the environment in-house today.
Intermedia meets all of the industry standards for compliance and security so you never have to worry about your data being in jeopardy. We are:
