Gamco: Dynamic Internet Solutions>>

The Hosted Exchange Solution offers a robust, remotely hosted, outsourced and fully managed implementation of Microsoft Hosted Exchange. Leveraging off proven Microsoft Technology, and benefiting from being located within the heart of Internet Solutions' network being hosted in a World Class Data Centre, the solution provides a high level of resiliency, robustness and redundancy, as well as a range of security, content and management features supported by the best engineering staff in the country.

The best way to decide which hosted email solution is best for your business is to evaluate the degree of collaboration that your business users require, and whether or not they require mobile access to email.

Hosted Exchange is a fully outsourced solution provided via Microsoft's Hosted Messaging and Collaboration Platform (HMC 4.0) and leverages off the proven functionality and stability of Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Forefront.

The solution is architected to provide a high level of resiliency and uptime, making use of multiple Frontend servers, database servers, redundant switches and multiple firewalls. The HMC platform runs on 64-bit architecture allowing for increased scalability and performance. The entire platform is backed up utilizing Microsoft Data Protection Manager to ensure that all client data is fully protected.

E-mail security is provided utilizing the Microsoft Forefront product range which utilizes multiple scanning engines for anti-virus and anti-spam filtering ensuring that your e-mail is always protected.

The solution allows for a mixture of "Lite" and "Premium" users utilizing a variety of methods / clients to access the mail infrastructure and can dynamically scale as required.

As the solution is provided utilizing the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, there are no large capital outlays, no need to skill up / train / retain support staff and no need to worry about license management and future planning.

Administration is provided via a web based GUI (graphical user interface), whereby general user administration tasks can be performed, while the back-end server administration is left up to our trained and highly qualified support staff. General administration tasks would include adding, deleting and modifying users, creating aliases, as well as creating Distribution Lists, specifying the primary SMTP delivery address and enabling SharePoint access. (Requires the Hosted SharePoint offering)
Limited integration with a customer's Active Directly is possible utilizing Microsoft Customer Directory Integration (CDI).

Mobile Users can access the Hosted Exchange platform from a wide variety of devices and benefit from a rich Outlook experience on capable devices. For devices that support the Outlook client, additional search features are available as well as the ability to manage out of office (OOF) status and messages.

Users taking advantage of the "Premium" option benefits from the new Autodiscovery feature which allows for simpler client configuration.

The managed Blackberry Enterprise service is also available on the "Prenium" option which delivers email to your handheld using automatic push delivery, letting you manage your important mail and be constantly responsive. You can view email attachments in popular formats such as MS Word, Excel, MS PowerPoint, Adobe PDF, Corel WordPerfect, HTML and ASCII.

Feature Description

Set Primary SMTP Address

Client can specify the primary send & receive SMTP address for user accounts allowing multiple e-mail domains to operate within one organization. This caters for companies / customers who have divisions who require shared calendaring, address lists, etc but utilize different e-mail domains.

Customer Data Integration (CDI)

Clients can have specific fields (user descriptions, passwords, first name, last name) pushed from the Hosted Exchange environment into their Active Directory allowing for uniform information between the environments.

Synchronization from a client's Active directory to the Hosted Exchange environment is possible, but will require additional technical discussions with Internet Solutions and will carry additional costs.

BlackBerry WebDav

Clients who own BlackBerry Enterprise Server can have limited connectivity into the Hosted Exchange environment to allow for the sending of mail only to the Blackberry device utilizing a WebDav connection.

Mobile E-Mail

For devices that support the Exchange Mail client, users can now perform more detailed searches and manage their Out of office (OOF) status and messages.

Setup "Autodiscovery"

Clients utilizing Exchange 2007 with the Premium option can take advantage of the Autodiscovery option to allow for an easy and seamless setup of the mail client.

Distribution Lists (DL)

Clients can include distribution lists within distribution lists. This allows for the grouping of users in multiple and imaginative ways. E.g.: A customer can create a DL for Pretoria, and a DL for Johannesburg and then place both of these in a DL for Gauteng.
