Hosted Exchange - Definition
(EXCHANGE vs.
POP3 Mail Service)
Microsoft Hosted Exchange
from Blue Lake Hosting is the email solution
designed to help small and medium companies:
- Access information,
even when out of the office
- Get more out of an
email system so that employees can get more done
- Gain the peace of
mind that comes from a professionally managed service
With Microsoft Exchange as
the mail server and Microsoft Outlook as your client, your employees can do more
than send and receive email – they can share calendars, folders and contacts.
Outlook is available for desktop, browser, and mobile access so you’re always
connected, whether you’re in the office, traveling, or working at home. And
since you always connect to the same Exchange server, your inbox stays
synchronized, no matter which Outlook client you’re using.
When you choose Hosted
Exchange from Blue Lake Hosting you can rest
assured, knowing your email system is always secure, always backed-up and always
available with our:
·
State-of-the-art security and
privacy
·
High reliability and performance
·
Outstanding administration and
support
Implementing and managing
Microsoft Exchange in-house has been cost-prohibitive and out-of-reach for most
small-medium businesses. Hosted Exchange is suitable for even the smallest
companies with only a few employees. You gain all the power with none of the
pain when you choose Microsoft Hosted Exchange from
Blue Lake Hosting. You can use
yourname@bluelakehost.net, yourname@mailbiz.org
or, for $2.00 more per month you can use your own
domain name yourname@yourdomain
The Power of Exchange and Outlook
The combination of Microsoft Exchange and
Microsoft Outlook includes rich functionality for sorting, prioritizing,
delegating and managing e-mail that allows you to take control of your inbox.
The service helps your employees get more done by providing:
·
Group calendars that streamline
scheduling by exposing free or busy times for your employees as well as your
shared resources like meeting rooms
·
Address books for maintaining and
sharing company-wide contact information
·
Public folders for organizing and
sharing files
·
Task lists for basic project
management and coordinating activities
Microsoft Outlook is available as a Windows
desktop client, as well as Outlook Web Access (OWA) for access from any computer
with a web browser and Internet connection, and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) for
web-browser enabled mobile devices. OWA and OMA allow people who are home
or on the road to have access to the same information as on-location employees.
The user interfaces have been designed to look and feel as similar as possible,
making it easy to switch from one to the other with no added learning curve. And
everything stays synchronized, whether you are managing your inbox from your
computer, your mobile device or any web browser.

burden.

Built-in redundancy for peak
performance

Server, network and
infrastructure security

patches

Onsite maintenance and support
·
Skilled, experienced and
certified staff
Whether you lack in-house
expertise or have the resources but prefer they focus on more valuable projects,
a Microsoft Hosted Exchange solution provides all of the mobility and
information sharing functionality needed for business-class messaging.
&
Security
Microsoft Hosted Exchange,
a business-class e-mail solution from Blue Lake Hosting
addresses your core e-mail and messaging security concerns on two fronts:
1) Microsoft Exchange Server was designed with security built-in – features
include secure defaults, improved ability to restrict connections and messages,
automatic logging off from Outlook Web Access, support for Secure/Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), attachment blocking, Block Sender lists and a
new Virus Scanning API for improved antivirus protection.
2) Blue Lake Hosting has architected a hosting
infrastructure with security as the primary design consideration across all
components, from logical to physical to people and processes. Key features
include:
o
User authentication and multiple
levels of password authorization to ensure that only authorized users can gain
access
o
Daily backups stored securely
offsite for data recovery
o
Encryption of data during network
transit and storage, using standard protocols like SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
o
Network management software to
facilitate preventative maintenance
o
Back-up generators, fire
suppression and other controls to protect against physical downtime
With Hosted Exchange from
Blue Lake Hosting only you have the key to your
information. The security and confidentiality of your data is our top concern.
&
Mobility by Microsoft
Microsoft Hosted Exchange,
a business-class messaging solution from Blue Lake
Hosting, meets today’s demand for mobility, keeping you wirelessly
connected and continuously in the loop while you’re on the go. Frequent
travelers can read, compose and act upon messages and attachments no matter
where they are – from client site to airport to coffee shop – while maintaining
a single mailbox that is always synchronized.
Windows Mobile
Windows Mobile uses Exchange Server
ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) to put the power of Windows software
into Pocket PC or SmartPhone devices. ActiveSync is a protocol that allows
applications to talk directly to the Exchange Server in order to synchronize
e-mail, calendar, and contacts. OMA provides client access from
web-browser enabled mobile devices. Together they help you manage all of
your information and communications while on the go.
&
Get More Done
Most companies share
information by sending email messages back and forth. This works reasonably well
if your company has two people – beyond that it can quickly fall apart and lead
to confusion and frustration!
Effective teamwork
requires a shared, centralized place to store information, with common,
authenticated access for authorized users. With this foundation, your employees
can do what’s expected of them, even when they’re traveling or dispersed across
multiple locations:
·
Locate addresses and other
contact information among shared lists that everyone can view and edit.
·
Arrange meetings by viewing free
and busy schedules of participants, finding a time that works for all, sending
invitations, and tracking responses – with details entered automatically into
participant calendars for them.
·
Manage projects across a
workgroup with the ability to view timelines and assignments while tracking
items that are active, completed and overdue.
·
Grant access to administrators
and support staff in order to delegate tasks.
When you discover that
sharing information by email no longer works for your company, we invite you to
discover Microsoft Hosted Exchange and other services from
Blue Lake Hosting.
&
Peace of Mind
Email has become a high
demand application used companywide, requiring high around-the-clock
availability. To stay competitive in today’s business environment, you need
sophisticated messaging tools with features like mobile access and shared
calendars. Yet these tools come with complex needs for implementation,
management and support.
Now you can enjoy the
benefits of business class email in a ‘pay as you go’ model that allows you to
scale up or down as needed, with no risk. Hosted Exchange from
Blue Lake Hosting frees valuable capital, IT
staff and other costly resources for more effective, strategic use within your
company.
With Hosted Exchange, no
specialized technology skills are required. Administrative tasks, like adding
new mailboxes, are simplified so even non-technical staff can handle them.
Quality of service backed
by guaranteed service levels will bring you peace of mind. And you get a
messaging solution that is much more rich, reliable and robust than basic Web
mail.
When you are ready to
offload the administration of your messaging system, without giving up features
or control, discover Hosted Exchange from Blue Lake
Hosting.
CUSTOMER SPEAK PERSONAS:
&
Mobile Persona
Are you maximizing the
tools available that can make you a more productive mobile executive?
Hosted Microsoft Exchange
offers mobile communication benefits far beyond sending and receiving e-mail at
remote locations. Frequent travelers can read, compose and act upon
messages and attachments no matter where they are – from client site to airport
to coffee shop – while maintaining a single mailbox:
·
Stay in touch and synchronized no
matter which Outlook client you use – the regular desktop version on your own
PC, Outlook Web Access (OWA) from any computer with a web browser and Internet
connection, or Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) from your web-browser enabled mobile
device.
·
Grant other people, such as
administrative assistants, access to your mailbox on your behalf when you have
to be away from the office.
·
Set up ‘rules’ for processing
messages, like auto-responses and automatic filing, to help you prioritize and
manage limited e-mail time while traveling.
And like every other
aspect of your hosted service, all the technical functions are administered for
you. So if your laptop is lost or stolen during travel, you can count on a
back-up of your inbox, ready to be restored for you by your hosting provider.
