Microsoft Exchange Offering
Why Host Microsoft Exchange with Verio?
When looking to implement or outsource Microsoft Exchange, there are several key factors to consider. Is the service reliable? Are there engineers on standby 24x7 in case a server goes down? Does the service offer the full benefits of Exchange?
Reliability and Uptime
Theirr service operates out of a tier-four datacenter, with state-of-the-art cooling, power supply, backup generator and fire suppressants. For you this means that your email is constantly running. Your Exchange service will run on clustered servers and an EMC storage area network – so if one server or disk drive stops working, your email keeps working.
As well as offering the highest-quality IT infrastructure, they do nightly backups to protect your data. For your peace of mind, they offer a 99.999% service-level agreement (SLA) which allows for just a few minutes of email downtime each month.
24/7 Monitoring and Management
To further ensure reliability, Verio employs a team of Microsoft Exchange engineers and administrators 24/7. So if a server problem occurs at 3am on a Sunday morning, theye will be there to solve it – in a matter of minutes. This same team installs Microsoft software patches immediately, as well as anti-virus and anti-spam updates, for full protection.
Add-on Features
Verio offers a complete range of add-on features including hosted BlackBerry, ActiveSync for Windows mobile devices and Good Mobile Messaging for Treos and other smartphones, so you can instantly activate email service for your handheld. Rather than spending thousands of dollars on your own server, you can use our managed service for just a few dollars a month.
You can also add SharePoint v3, for document collaboration, archiving – from simple message journaling, to keep an exact copy of all your message, to compliant archiving, which fulfils regulatory requirements from the main US regulations—HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, SEC, FINRA and FRCP as well as other state/federal requirements).
PC or Mac
Many Exchange hosting companies do not offer both Outlook 2007 (for PC) and Entourage 2008 (for Mac) support. We offer a free download of both, so your staff can use either PCs and Macs, or both.
Our Microsoft Exchange hosting service is fully-managed, with constant uptime and instant add-ons like BlackBerry or archiving. All this, plus a significantly lower total cost of ownership than managing an Exchange server in-house.
Strict Security and Compliance
Verio adheres to the industry’s strictest regulations for security and compliance. We are PCI compliant and SAS 70 II certified.
SAS 70 Certification
SAS 70 is an auditing statement issued by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), officially titled “Reports on the Processing of Transactions by Service Organizations”. SAS 70 defines the professional standards used by a service auditor to assess the internal controls of a service organization and issue a service auditor’s report.
Verio has undergone SAS 70 certification in order to show its customers that its controls and security processes are of a high standard.
