TORONTO, July 15, 2009 – Ceryx Inc. and Global Relay – two industry leaders in email and archiving – have teamed together to deliver an end-to-end SaaS Messaging solution designed to provide a high performance, high availability alternative to costly, in-house messaging and archiving solutions.

The turnkey solution makes message archiving simple to implement, transparent to end-users and cost-effective. This SaaS solution can be used by organizations looking for enhanced mailbox storage management or to assist in addressing legal compliance requirements. This applies to any organization subject to regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC, FINRA, HIPAA, as well as those looking to proactively be ‘litigation ready’ in connection with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP).

“An archiving solution is only as good as its weakest link. In order to have complete and compliant message archives all vendors need to follow industry best practices around operational excellence and high availability,” says Gus Harsfai, CEO and President of Ceryx Inc. “This is not just about a solution architecture but also the strict processes and procedures that support and monitor a distributed solution.”

Ceryx, who pioneered the high-availability, geo-replicated Hosted Exchange solution, has been working closely with Global Relay for several years now to optimize the solution. This announcement formalizes the existing relationship and allows Ceryx to offer the bundled solution through its extensive channel of large VARs and Telco partners. The service can be used to archive both email and BlackBerry devices.

“I am excited to introduce the joint Ceryx and Global Relay hybrid email archiving solution to Ceryx’s Partners and direct customers. Together, we deliver a powerful SaaS archiving solution to address regulatory compliance, audit, archiving and eDiscovery needs.” said Global Relay President & CEO, Warren Roy. “After years of servicing joint customers, we are proud to have formalized our partnership.”

Using their combined expertise, Ceryx and Global Relay will provide consultation and guide clients towards a solution that fits their specific requirements.

In over 10 years of operations, Global Relay holds the distinction of never having lost an email. They attribute this perfect record to their secure, enterprise-class technology that, similar to Ceryx, maintains geographically separate copies of every message. This highly secure environment still allows clients transparent access to archived messages and the ability to easily search and retrieve archived email as if local to their inbox.

Press, interested partners and organizations can register now for a joint webinar presentation by Ceryx and Global Relay and use the opportunity to find out how the combined solution can reduce costs and risk. For additional details and timing go to: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/202083835

TORONTO, April 1, 2009 – Ceryx Inc. today announced they will provide and administer a Hosted and Managed Exchange infrastructure for IBM, specifically designed for enterprises with 200 or more employees looking to realize the benefits that come from outsourcing their Microsoft Exchange e-mail and messaging environment.

“IBM is one of the largest and most respected names in IT outsourcing in the world, and we are very excited to be selected to deliver our premium Software + Services solution to the market under the IBM brand,” says Gus Harsfai, C.E.O. and President of Ceryx.

A leading global retailer of travel products and services for consumer and corporate markets, selects Ceryx to deliver its Hosted Microsoft® Exchange-based Solution to 1200 employees.

TORONTO – March 12th, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft® Exchange Server, email messaging and collaboration software, today announced that it was selected by Flight Centre North America to deliver its messaging and collaboration solution. Flight Centre North America will begin immediately working with Ceryx to migrate corporate and retail employees onto Ceryx’s high availability, replicated Hosted Microsoft Exchange-based service.

“When evaluating potential messaging vendors, Ceryx’s commitment to service and support aligned perfectly with Flight Centre’s core operating principles,” says Neil Muir, Vice President of I.T., Leasing, Construction, and Procurement for Flight Centre North America. “We were looking for a pure messaging company to handle our unique requirements, not just a hosting company that offered messaging.”

With corporate offices distributed throughout North America and over 180 retail outlets, Flight Centre looked to a hosted offering to consolidate their various messaging platforms and provide room for additional growth as they rapidly expand the business. They also faced the challenge of migrating from both an on-premise First Class and Microsoft Exchange platform.

“Outsourcing makes complete sense for a high-growth, distributed organization like Flight Center. It will allow us to focus on our core business and rely on Ceryx to focus on what they do best,” says Muir. “We made a conscious decision to move to Microsoft Exchange and use a hosted messaging company who could give us the assurance that something as critical to our business as email was being handled by specialists.”

“Our team has extensive experience migrating users from on-premise solutions like First Class or Lotus Notes and we used that experience to help find creative solutions to some of the business challenges Flight Centre employees will face when making the transition,” says Gus Harsfai, President and CEO of Ceryx. “In some cases we worked with them to develop their training and in other cases we found alternative technical solutions on the Ceryx platform that met or exceeded their business objectives.”

Over the coming weeks, Ceryx will be working closely with Flight Centre to integrate the Ceryx proprietary anti-spam solution as well as the core high-availability, replicated email and mobility offerings. In addition, all corporate messaging will be archived for compliance purposes.

TORONTO, March 10th, 2009 – Ceryx Inc, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft® Exchange and messaging solutions, has released the latest version of its Customer Center (CC) control panel, a web-based application used by administrators and end-users to manage and control all aspects of the Ceryx offering, including: Hosted Exchange, SharePoint, Anti-SPAM and Mobility offerings.

“With each release of the CC we are trying to strike the balance between pure ‘cloud’ apps, that deliver low complexity and limited control, and on-premise installations that deliver complete configurability. The challenge with a lot of completely configurable software is that senior staff is required to perform even simple operations.” says Dr. Dave Penny, CIO, Ceryx Inc. “I think with the CC we have struck the right balance. All operations are simply performed, and the scope of control available is such that it satisfies the needs of even quite complex organizations.”

This latest release delivers a number of new enhancements geared towards putting control in the hands of administrators and end-users. Through the CC, administrators now have the ability to set message size limits, use ‘send-as’ functionality, set custom storage quota warnings or mandate global email footer messages or disclaimers, as required by many organizations for compliance purposes. Users will also find the ability to view and submit support tickets directly through the Ceryx CC as well as the ability to update all corporate contact information and identify employees that have ‘named caller’ privileges.

Administrators will continue to see improvements around Organizational Group functionality – a feature unique to the Ceryx CC that provides top-level administrators the ability to create functional groups within the organization that have isolated, delegated privileges assigned to the group administrator.

This functionality includes such things as Global Address List management within a functional group and separate billing provisions. This feature has proven to be invaluable when dealing with large distributed organizations, companies with autonomous business units and franchisors that have large, independent franchisees.

Future releases will continue to build upon features and functionality that extend real control to larger organizations that have outsourced their messaging to Ceryx. The Ceryx CC is a unified management interface that brings together several critical IT messaging platforms, allowing administrators to control everything from BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) management to corporate messaging Anti-Virus and SPAM management.

TORONTO, February 24th, 2009 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft® Exchange, today announced that reseller TBayTel has transitioned over 450 of its employees from their on-premise Lotus Notes environment onto Ceryx’s Hosted Exchange platform.

TBayTel , the largest independent Telecommunications company in Canada, provides voice, data and wireless service to an area of Northern Ontario spanning over 300,000 square kilometers. Through DirectIT, a division of the company that provides managed IT services, the company has been a white-label reseller of Ceryx’s Hosted Exchange solution since 2007.

“Reselling the Ceryx Hosted Exchange and Collaboration solution made us recognize and believe in the strategic value of outsourcing,” says Angela Domansky Desserre, Vice President, DirectIT-Managed IT Services. “I was able to confidently make the case that outsourcing messaging, even for a mid-sized company like TBayTel, was not only more cost effective but would also deliver a higher level of service.”

Ceryx worked closely with TBayTel to provide tight integration with applications hosted on-site at TBayTel, including user synchronization between the Hosted Exchange environment and the Wallace Wireless™ Server being used for emergency BlackBerry communications.

“This is the ultimate endorsement of our product and company when one of our Telecommunications partners feels strongly enough about the solution to use it themselves,” says Gus Harsfai, CEO and President of Ceryx Inc. “For a company of this size to move off premise to a hosted solution indicates a strong belief in the value proposition behind outsourcing as well as the value of the Ceryx solution.”

TORONTO, November 17th, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft(R) Exchange, announced that it has been named Hosting Solutions Partner of the Year at the 2008 Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards. The sixth annual IMPACT Awards recognizes excellence within the Microsoft technology partner community as well as the innovative solutions and value they deliver to customers.

Within the Hosting category, this award carries particular significance as Microsoft has begun to put a strong emphasis on its Software plus Service strategy. Looking to expand their market reach and provide greater choice to customers in how they consume software services, Microsoft has acknowledged with this award Ceryx’s unique and complementary contribution to this strategy.

Ceryx, with its proprietary provisioning platform, has been able to successfully penetrate and expand into new markets, satisfying the needs of larger organizations and complex channel partners with an entirely hosted solution. “We are thrilled to be recognized by Microsoft for our innovations in the area of hosting,” says Gus Harsfai, President and CEO of Ceryx. “This recognition by Microsoft is further confirmation that hosted solutions are the new norm for application delivery, even for the large Enterprise.”

Ceryx stands alone in the hosting market through their development of an offering that exposes a broader range of features and functionality than is found in out-of-the-box solutions. By exposing significantly more ‘configurability’ options and making customizations to Hosted Exchange possible Ceryx has been able to meet the complex needs of larger organizations looking to reduce risk, cut costs and outsource their messaging to a reliable partner.

“As real leaders in their fields, technology partners like Ceryx continue to help customers optimize their business performance,” said Lora Gernon, Senior Director, Partner Group, Microsoft Canada Co. ‘Our annual IMPACT Awards celebrates top technology partners who have shown true passion through their tremendous service to customers and innovative solutions.”

Recently recognized by the Radicati Group as the top ‘trailblazer’ in their 2008 Market Quadrant, Ceryx is best known for their development of a geographically redundant Hosted Exchange architecture, providing real-time data replication to a secondary Tier 4 data center, over 500 miles away. This robust architecture allows Ceryx to provide a 100% uptime guarantee and a ‘near-local’ application performance that far surpasses the availability and performance of an on-premise solution.

TORONTO, October 16, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft(R) Exchange and messaging solutions, today announced the release of their high availability Messaging solution built on Exchange 2007 and Windows Server 2008. With this release Ceryx will be the first in the world to use this technology for clustering over a wide area network, stretching from Toronto to New York.

Ceryx, who operate data centers in both cities, have been providing their replicated solution on Exchange 2003 to medium and large businesses since 2004. Microsoft Exchange data is replicated in real-time to the secondary facility, providing 100% availability. In this recent release Ceryx is continuing to enhance the reliability of this technology to address what they see as major vulnerabilities in single data center deployments.

“We operate on the premise that even the best data center can and will experience failure due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control,” says Dr. David Penny, CIO at Ceryx. “We focus our Research and Development on keeping the application highly available and rely on our replication technology to mitigate the vulnerabilities that exist on an individual data center level.”

In a recently released white paper, Ceryx examines numerous instances of high-profile single data center failures over the past year. Failures experienced by RackSpace, The Planet, Google and Pier 1 in Vancouver, to name just a few, have caused extended outages with high costs to businesses running mission-critical applications. The white paper entitled, “Force Majeure: Understanding and Managing the Risk of Data Center Failure”, cites numerous reasons for these outages, including accidents and power-grid outages that fall outside the control of individual data center operators.

Through geographic clustering, using Microsoft Windows(R) Server 2008 and native Microsoft Exchange 2007 CCR (Cluster Continuous Replication) technology, Ceryx has been able to eliminate the reliance of redundant servers on the same set of disks thereby eliminating a common single point of failure and providing an extra layer of redundancy to their replicated solution.

For Bill Fife, Director of Technology at Wholesale Electric, high availability was a critical consideration when selecting a Hosted Exchange provider for its 300 employees. “A primary concern of ours, especially since the devastating Hurricanes in 2005, has been to protect messaging and ensure reliability during times of disaster. Since some of our busiest times are immediately after natural disasters – when people are trying to repair damage and restore electricity – any type of outage is simply unacceptable.”

Roger Smith, V.P. of Operations at Ceryx, feels there is a disconnect between those executives demanding high availability and the commitment required to deliver. “When you present the facts, it becomes clear to everyone that an in-house data center couldn’t possibly provide the levels of redundancy required and even on a co-location level we would need redundancy.”

The white paper also examines other common reasons for outages, including software failure, data corruption and other areas where redundancy either didn’t exist or failed. The recent software release by Ceryx continues to refine their replication and clustering technology as it relates to the highly complex Microsoft Exchange 2007 architecture.

The paper concludes that the only way to ensure high availability for mission critical-applications is by utilizing replication over multiple data centers. The white paper is available for download at http://www.ceryx.com/datacenter/

TORONTO, July 8th, 2008 – Gus Harsfai, CEO and President of Ceryx Inc., will be part of the keynote presentation by Allison Watson at this year’s Worldwide Partner Conference (WWPC) in Houston. Harsfai will articulate to a collection of thousands of Microsoft partners from around the world, how they can thrive in the new Software plus Services ecosystem. Ceryx will also have a presence in the Microsoft Software plus Services (S+S) Pavilion and will be making multiple presentations, focusing on the options available to partners to resell the Ceryx solution, differentiate their offerings and build real value.

Ceryx has been closely involved with Microsoft’s entry into Software plus Services and views their presence in the market as complementary and positive news for all partners. Ceryx, who focuses on the complex Mid-market and Enterprise segments, believes Microsoft is going to create broader awareness of the Hosted Exchange and Hosted Application market and will create new opportunity for all partners.

“The partner ecosystem is changing rapidly”, says Harsfai. “The traditional Microsoft partner has always taken Microsoft products and created customized solutions while most SaaS providers have done the opposite and forced conformity on their user communities. With the S+S markets maturing, many customers are now saying one size does not fit all and those are the customers that need the versatility of the Ceryx platform.”

Ceryx will be presenting this week, on both Tuesday and Wednesday between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m. in the S+S Pavilion (Booth #875) and will be sharing their experience, developed from over 18 years in the industry, covering everything from common consideration when entering the S+S market, to the many options available to partners who are looking to get into this lucrative market. Those who attend will automatically be entered to win a free Mobile Device as well as complementary Hosted Exchange services.

Ceryx is a Gold Partner of Excellence with multiple competencies, including Hosting, Unified Messaging, Security and Mobility solutions. Ceryx also owns and operates ThinOffice, a white-label Exchange-based messaging solution for its partner channel.

TORONTO, July 3rd, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft(R) Exchange, email messaging and collaboration software, today announced that Wholesale Electric, a worldwide leader in the electrical distribution industry, has selected the Ceryx hosted messaging solution for its 300 employees located in offices throughout the U.S.

With the head office of Wholesale Electric located right in “Hurricane Alley,” the threat of a natural disaster destroying communications infrastructure was a driving influence in moving to the Ceryx hosted solution.

“A primary concern of ours, especially since the devastating Hurricanes in 2005, has been to protect messaging and ensure reliability during times of disaster. Since some of our busiest times are immediately after natural disasters – when people are trying to repair damage and restore electricity – any type of outage is simply unacceptable,” said Bill Fife, Wholesale Electric’s Director of Technology.

Ceryx, with its high-availability hosted messaging service, was able to deliver the reliable service Wholesale Electric was looking for and meet their more advanced messaging needs, providing not just e-mail service but also Mobility Services, Windows SharePoint Services as well as advanced SPAM and Anti-Virus protection.

“As a Microsoft hosting partner, we can deliver incredible value in today’s market,” says Gus Harsfai, president and CEO of Ceryx Inc. “Our partner licensing model allows us to create unique plans that fit the profile of an organization and work to blend costs down. At the same time we can develop solutions – like our proprietary Anti-Virus and SPAM filtering tools – that builds on top of, and enhances the Microsoft Exchange solution.”

Once the decision to move to Ceryx was made, the migration from their existing email system to Ceryx was painless.

Ceryx was able to tailor a “rolling” migration which allowed for a user-by-user transfer from an existing POP3 system, with no interruption in overall messaging. And migrating to Ceryx’s proprietary Customer Centre administration portal was just as smooth. “As for the IT personnel, it was a quick, five-minute introduction and training session before they were comfortable using Ceryx’s Customer Centre for overall administration,” Fife says.

Fife says Ceryx’s Hosted Exchange solution has dramatically increased Wholesale Electric’s communications efficiency, allowing them to concentrate on its core business and not worry about mission-critical messaging.

TORONTO, June 12, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft® Exchange, email messaging and collaboration software, today announced that Subex has selected its messaging solution for its 1,300 employees in India, Canada, the US, the UK, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Australia.

“We were looking for a global player who was stable, with robust administrative tools, and who could scale with us,” said Jay Kashyap, Subex’s Director of Information Technology. “We found that Ceryx was the best company to go with, in terms of support, product and pricing.”

Ceryx was able to offer Subex, a leading global provider of OSS solutions, a tailored Microsoft Exchange hosting solution that facilitates employees’ messaging across the globe, through a mix of full MAPI, POP3 as well as a BlackBerry solution.

“We literally work with a business and design a custom solution that fits its unique needs – and, more important, adapts seamlessly as the company grows,” said Gus Harsfai, Ceryx’s Chief Executive Officer. Ceryx’s hosted Exchange solution, with its dedicated, 24/7 technical support, close relationship with Microsoft and 100 per cent SLA, allows businesses like Subex Azure to focus on its business, confident in the stability of its mission-critical messaging.

For Subex, outsourcing its e-mail and messaging to Ceryx is the only solution that makes sense. “It’s going to be the norm in the future,” said Kashyap. “Hardware, licensing, virus protection and administrative costs are all escalating,” he points out. “With Ceryx we know the costs. They’re predictable, and affordable. We don’t have to worry about anything. Their support is available 24/7, and their wide experience with customers with 500-plus employees in invaluable.”

This announcement follows other significant Ceryx partnerships, including Canada’s largest wireless carriers, Rogers Wireless and Royal LePage, Canada’s leading provider of franchise services to residential real estate brokerages, clearly establishing Ceryx as the market leader in hosted messaging services.
