Intermedia’s fully-managed Exchange 2007 service brings many benefits to IT departments:
Advantages of enterprise Exchange hosting over in-house deployments of Exchange 2007 include:
Higher uptime. A fully-clustered environment with EMC SAN storage, inside a tier-4 datacenter. See why reliability is higher.
Fully-managed service. All management is done by us, so you can stop doing dull maintenance.
Better email security. Multi-layer advanced antispam and antivirus is included with frequent updates, so your email is secure.
Lower costs. Pay a straightforward fee per user per month – with no upfront costs.
Easier migration. Our expert Exchange technicians can help you migrate to Exchange 2007 painlessly.
Intermedia manages over 230,000 mailboxes on one of the world’s most advanced email infrastructures. If you deploy Exchange in-house, will your budget allow…
…30 high-end Dell PowerEdge servers? All Exchange 2007 roles, as well as add-on servers like BlackBerry® Enterprise Servers, are fully-clustered on separate servers for zero downtime.
… an EMC storage area network? Our RAID 10, fiber-channel storage units from EMC cost almost $500,000 and it has never failed. Ever.
…a redundant Cisco network? Enterprise-grade routers and switches to eliminate single points of failure.
…a tier-4 datacenter? The highest-grade facility in existence, it is designed for 100% uptime.
Because Intermedia has the scale to invest in premium infrastructure, your company can benefit from highly-reliable email.
Intermedia fully manages the whole Exchange environment, with no work needed from you:
24x7 monitoring. Our engineers monitor the servers 24x7 – so we often know about downtime before you do.
All updates and patches. We do all the tedious work to keep Exchange up to date, so you can focus elsewhere.
Microsoft Gold Certified. At Intermedia, all staff are Microsoft Certified Professionals or in training to qualify. The company is Gold Certified in multiple Microsoft competencies.
Off-peak maintenance. With our large staff, we do maintenance at night or during the weekends, for minimal inconvenience.
Enterprise Exchange hosting from Intermedia is more than just ‘managed’ – it is fully-managed.
Intermedia’s fully-managed Exchange infrastructure was designed for high security:
Antispam and antivirus. Multiple layers of security – both perimeter and on-server from Trend Micro – keep your email well-protected.
Constantly updated. We patch the servers and get the latest spam and virus signatures from multiple engines – continuously.
SAS 70 certified. Intermedia is certified company-wide for excellence in processes, so you can rest assured that your vital data is well-guarded.
Strict access control. All datacenters are heavily guarded and do not admit any non-authorized personnel.
Staff vetting. All Intermedia staff go through background checks, without exception.
Intermedia understands that security is a key concern and has many demanding customers including banks, hedge funds, US and State senators, Governors and others who require the strictest standards.
