Mimecast Launches Support for Microsoft Exchange 2010, Easing Migration Concerns for Administrators
WALTHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Mimecast®, a cloud-based unified
email management company, today announced support for Microsoft (News - Alert)
Exchange 2010, easing migration headaches and controlling costs while
unlocking the immediate benefits of Microsoft's newest 64-bit
architecture. Avoiding expensive on-premise management overheads and
removing the need for .PST files, Mimecast's Unified Email Management
(UEM) suite of services now fully supports Microsoft Exchange 2010 and
provides a single-platform approach to archiving,
security,
continuity
and policy control; integrating seamlessly into customers' existing - or
newly planned - IT infrastructures.
For Microsoft Exchange administrators concerned about possible email
downtime and risks to data security during migration to Microsoft
Exchange 2010, Mimecast helps in three ways:
-
Adopting imecast prior to any Exchange 2010 migration offers 100%
SLA-backed continuity of email service and archive access throughout,
as well as ensuring data security;
-
With the migration complete, Mimecast offers a unique level of SaaS (News - Alert)
based integration for mailbox management in Exchange 2010;
-
Crucially, Mimecast offers the ongoing benefits of archiving,
security, continuity and compliance functionality at a fraction of the
cost of on-premise solutions;
"Microsoft Exchange 2010 is fantastic, but to leverage all the new
capabilities you've got to be pretty committed to building out a lot
more infrastructure. In reality most of us are thinking about running
fewer boxes ourselves nowadays," commented Peter Bauer, co-founder and
CEO of Mimecast. "So we think in terms of deploying Exchange 2010
according to a 'Just Enough On-Site' philosophy. This works by running
your own Exchange system, sized according to your businesses appetite
for additional boxes and storage, and then connecting up to the Mimecast
cloud for long term storage, search, security services and high
availability."
Benefits of the new Mimecast service for Microsoft Exchange include:
-
Greater consistency and continuity for email users: Whether
using Outlook during a system outage or connecting to email via the
Web using Mimecast Personal Portal™ (MPP™), Mimecast offers users
comprehensive replication of Outlook folder structures for even
greater consistency of service;
-
Automated message management controls: Organizations are able
to enforce their existing records management policies to email
messages in a consistent and automated manner, facilitating adherence
to best practice guidelines and meeting regulatory compliance;
-
Load reduction on Microsoft Exchange: With Mimecast's
comprehensive security and attachment controls, IT managers can
actually reclaim bandwidth. Mimecast technology also uses a cloud
archive service, allowing items to be removed from mailboxes much
sooner, thereby improving overall server performance.
"The migration to Microsoft Exchange 2010 can be intimidating for
businesses because of the hardware, software and labor costs involved
with the move," said Altour's IT Director Manny Amare. "Mimecast's
cloud-based email management services helped us mitigate the financial
impact of our planned migration without sacrificing the many benefits
Exchange 2010 offers and with little effort on our part. Rather than
implement a large number of Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers, we only
have to roll out one empowered with Mimecast's innovative solution to
service the same number of end users without sacrificing capabilities
or, most importantly, performance."
