Exchange Hosting Reviews

Red Earth Software, an email management solutions company, today introduced Policy Patrol Archiver, a new email archiver and eDiscovery solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) using Microsoft Exchange Server. Policy Patrol Archiver now allows SMBs to meet compliancy needs, reduce Exchange store size, and boost Exchange performance without breaking the bank.

Policy Patrol Archiver automatically stores emails in a centralized archive location, allowing administrators to set email retention policies and meet email archiving requirements. Emails are archived into the database instantly, so that even if a user deletes an email, it will still be archived into the database. Users can search and restore their emails through a web browser.

“Although SMBs are becoming more and more aware of the importance of archiving their data, most have not yet implemented an archiving solution because current offerings are simply too expensive or too complicated to implement and manage,” said Mike Spykerman, CEO of Red Earth Software. “Policy Patrol Archiver now offers a solution that is affordable and manageable for companies of any size.”

GSX Solutions, the creator of proactive, consolidated monitoring, reporting of enterprise messaging and collaboration environments, including Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange, and Blackberry Enterprise Server, today announced the general availability of the GSX Monitor & Analyzer v10. The new release comes with expanded features, plus support for Lotus Traveler, IBM Quickr, IBM Sametime 8.5, Microsoft Exchange 2010, and Microsoft SharePoint servers. The v10 release provides a new modular install for selected server types and components, a revamped user interface, simplified server settings, and new reports to track mail forwarding.

“The Flex-based GSX Analyzer has been improved again, permitting more customization on reports. For those that don’t know, Analyzer will take all the statistics from Monitor, output them on a very pretty, flexible web-based UI, or email you statistics in a customizable PDF on a set schedule. If you are an administrator, you want this,” commented Paul Mooney, Senior Technical Architect and Lotus Specialist.

“Our tests showed GSX Monitor v10 to be the perfect solution for proactive monitoring in the cloud,” said Olivier Constant of Darest. “If all of your messaging and collaboration services are in the cloud, there is no other way to know of a problem until it occurs — with GSX v10 you will know it beforehand. When there are issues with security and visibility, that’s a perfect situation for v10. Even if your servers are outside the firewall, you’ll know the exact status of every server in the cloud.”

We take active user feedback and requests and use that data to fine tune and improve the SPAMfighter Exchange Module as threats evolve and SMB network priorities change.”

Recalling messages sent in error, such as forgetting an attachment or setting the wrong recipient address, via Exchange can be a gruesome task indeed. Often, attempts to block e-mails sent in error fail.

Users of MS Outlook who often use the Recall This Message command can now breathe a sigh of relief as WinDeveloper Software Ltd., has now equipped MS Exchangeserver with a new reliable solution, WinDeveloper Message Recall, which provides users with a predictable process for recalling sent hosted Exchange e-mails.

WinDeveloper Software developed WinDeveloper Message Recall to increase the ability to successfully recall e-mails sent in error.

Alexander Zammit, WinDeveloper technical director, said “Recalls have to be processed at the server. Today recall attempts are prompting recipients to open the e-mail and spot the error. Indeed once an e-mail reaches the recipient mailbox, it’s already too late.”
