Exchange Hosting Reviews

Google continues it’s high-speed chase after Exchange customers with the imminent release of their Gmail-based backup plan for business users of Exchange Server.

Google Message Continuity, developed and provided by the Postini division, replicates all e-mail activity on the customers’ Exchange servers with cloud-based Gmail.

This means that when your Exchange host goes down for maintenance or what have you, you can still access your emails and documents via this cloud platform. Cool, to be sure. Google promises it will be easy to switch information back and forth within the cloud with little or no input repitition necessary.

Google Message Continuity costs US$25 per user, per year, for new customers and $13 per user, per year, for existing Postini customers.

Currently, the service works with Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007. Google is looking at adding Exchange 2010 in a future release.

StorSimple unveiled a line of cloud storage appliances that are optimized for Microsoft applications, file servers, and virtual machine libraries, the company said Dec. 6.

The appliances are deployed on premises within the data center and stores data locally on SSDs and in the cloud to offer hybrid storage while maintaining or improving performance, the company said.

Companies need to “think like Bing and Google search algorithms” and not treat all content the same, but weigh each piece differently so that the most important content is accessible first, said Ursheet Parikh, CEO of StorSimple.

The line of products is optimized specifically for SharePoint, Exchange, Windows Server 2008, and File Services, said Holmes. The appliances also support cloud storage providers such as Amazon, AT&T, EMC, Iron Mountain, and Microsoft Azure, according to Holmes
