Essential business tool now feasible for every heavy email user.

Warrington, Tuesday September16th, 2008. ?Simply Mail Solutions, leading email hosting company, has launched a very competitive archiving solution for users of its MS Exchange email service. SMS has recently signed up its 2000th customer and has over 100 servers installed to provide its range of services.

Archiving is not just about being able to find copies of email if a company is being sued!! It is about creating a central file of email that cannot be tampered with and where management and employees can easily find details of contracts, negotiations, quotes – in fact everything that email is used for nowadays.

Commented Colin Smith ?We have launched an archiving product for MS Exchange that we hope is priced such that all our customers who rely heavily on email can benefit from. For only ?9 per month per mailbox users can get a mailbox with archiving compared with competitors who are offering just mailboxes for ?12 and archiving for a further ?20! ?

SMS steps into gap left my most Exchange Mail Providers.

Warrington, Wednesday, July 30th, 2008.? Simply Mail Solutions, based in
Warrington, Cheshire, UK has announced that it is up and running with the new
iPhone with its Exchange server service. This contrasts with many providers
who are having difficulty providing reliable ?Push? email, one of the main new
features of the iPhone.

The new iPhone offers full synchronisation of email, contacts and calendars
with a user?s PC if MS Exchange Server is used for email.

As the mobile phone market hots up users are increasingly interested in taking
full advantage of all the new phones can offer. MS Exchange is a sophisticated
and highly able means of running email and collaboration systems but is too
complex for many smaller organisations to install and maintain. SMS does this
for users at a very attractive price because it can share the fixed costs. For
larger corporate SMS offers higher standards of service than they can
reasonably expect to maintain at a lower cost and without capital investment.

Commented Colin Smith MD of SMS. ?We already support BlackBerry and
Windows Mobile and with the new iPhone Apple can compete for those users
wanting the most from their email. And as a dedicated email hosting company
users know that they get all our attention! We have already added information
on the iPhone to our user accessible knowledge base and of course are
available for support 24/7. I think that some of the other providers have not
realised that they have got to put some extra effort in to get the iPhone to work
properly with Exchange.?

SMS also offers Zimbra CS, the open source email and collaboration suite and
also has that working successfully with the iPhone. Zimbra has been a
particular hit with the Macintosh community.

SMS is first hoster in the world to offer Zimbra Archiving.

Warrington, Tuesday, July 29th, 2008. ?Simply Mail Solutions, based in Warrington, Cheshire, UK has added the Archiving add-on for Zimbra CS to its range of hosted email products.

Archiving is increasingly being recognised as a vital component of corporate email systems by providing a verifiable long term store of a companies emails independent of any backups taken of users mail boxes. The product from Zimbra complements the existing email and collaboration suite.

Although quite a number of companies offer hosted versions of Zimbra CS (and SMS were one of the first in Europe) SMS is the first to offer the Archiving service to customers. Archiving will be available to users of the SMS shared Zimbra service ? the service chosen by SME customers ? and also to dedicated server customers.

Commented Colin Smith MD of SMS. ?We see archiving of email as a vital service for users. They need confidence that there is any easy way of retrieving email no matter who in the organisation sent it and when. We plan to offer archiving for our MS Exchange users and will make an announcement shortly?

Simply Mail Solutions customers leverage infrastructure and expertise

Warrington, Monday May 19th, 2008. ?Simply Mail Solutions has reported strong growth and on-going interest in customised servers being hosted for its users. SMS is an email hosting specialist and is finding that although its main business is shared hosting of MS Exchange and other email servers the interest in dedicated email servers and servers being set for a range of other applications is strong.

SMS is setting standards for the hosting industry in a number of ways:

? Two independent high quality Data Centres
? Use of high availability data storage from leading supplier
? VMware server clusters.

All of these facilities plus SMS?s high level of expertise can be leveraged by customers for their own specialist server requirements.

Examples of non-email servers recently set up include (some LINUX and some Windows):

LDAP server
File finder Database
FTP server for document retrieval
File server
Sharepoint server
CRM

Commented Colin Smith, Managing Director ?This demand initially came as a surprise but it obviously reflects a need in the market place where IT managers in all sizes of business are thinking twice about installing their own custom servers. They are concerned about the infrastructure costs for a small number of servers, costs to run with very high up-time and of course the on-going costs of maintenance such as updating the software.?

SMS offers the following email servers: SMS NexGen a powerful POP3/IMAP option, MS Exchange, and Zimbra CS plus Windows Mobile 5/6 and BlackBerry support with full push email/calendars/contacts/tasks. These are complimented by anti-spam, anti-virus, domain registration and web hosting options.? Larger users go for dedicated rather than shared hosting.

Simply Mail Solutions Leads The Way In High Quality Email Hosting

Warrington, Tuesday February 19th, 2008. ?Simply Mail Solutions, based in Warrington, Cheshire, UK was set up in 2006 to enter the growing market for email hosting, particularly aimed at SMEs. The company has grown rapidly and has over 1000 customers in 35 countries.

SMS is setting standards for the email hosting industry in four ways:

? Equipment is located in two independent high quality Data Centres in Manchester with excellent separate Internet connectivity and all the facilities such as back-up power that continuously on-line services now require. The locations are connected by high speed diversely routed fibre links so that both sites have completely independent Internet connections each of which has diverse connectivity. The fibre connection effectively puts the sites on the same LAN allowing SMS to build in redundancy and data transfers from servers and appliances between sites. Development and some backup customer functions are located at the SMS NOC ? effectively a third site.

? Use of high availability data storage from leading supplier NetApps ensures that data is always available and backed up continuously using near-instant SnapShot technology.

? Servers are now VMware clusters. This means that the various software servers are running on a smaller number of closely interconnected very powerful hardware servers. Should a software server crash its functions can be running on other servers in the cluster in seconds (even if the hardware is actually in the other data centre). Also because the servers can be used more efficiently less power is required hence they are a green solution compared with lots of underutilised smaller servers.

? The in-house developed Control Panel allows users to easily manage their mailboxes on-line whenever they want. The CRM system is also available on-line 24/7 allowing users to manage their billing, at any time, from anywhere.

SMS offers the following email servers: SMS NexGen a powerful POP3/IMAP option, MS Exchange, and Zimbra CS plus Windows Mobile 5/6 and BlackBerry support with full push email/calendars/contacts/tasks. These are complimented by anti-spam, anti-virus, domain registration and web hosting options.? Larger users go for dedicated rather than shared hosting.

The market for email hosting has had two major drivers a) the increasing cost and hassle in installing, running, and maintaining a server and b) the increasing use of mobile phones for email. The latter requires more advanced email server software such as Microsoft Exchange, Zimbra CS and BlackBerry BES and places even more load on the servers and the people who have to maintain them.? SMS has just added support for BlackBerry mobile phones and also supports Windows Mobile which is available on many smartphones. Apple iPhone is also supported.

SMS MD Colin Smith commented ?It is important to stand back and look at what is required to build a world class email hosting company and we believe that with the developments we have made, we are setting that standard. Two hosting sites was a major development allowing us to move towards a very robust system, even towards disaster recovery standards. We believe that this will be a major consideration for customers as we expand because of the importance of email in the corporate IT structure. It also increases the incentive for larger companies (hundreds or thousands or mailboxes) to outsource their email to us.?

op selling Smartphone now supported by SMS with MS Exchange.

Warrington Wednesday December 19th 2007. ?Simply Mail Solutions have signed up to the BlackBerry partner program allowing them to support the BlackBerry range of smartphones with Microsoft Exchange server.

Previously SMS has supported email only to the Blackberry but now enterprises and individual users can leverage the power of the systems combined. So the calendaring, contact lists and task scheduling facilities are available to SMS BlackBerry users.

RIM (Research in Motion) the producers of BlackBerry have? been a great business success up against the giants of the software world such as Microsoft and the mobile phone companies such as Nokia. For SMS this completes the line up of devices and platforms supported (for the moment!) and gives them a unique range of email services for a rapidly expanding market.

Commented Colin Smith, Managing Director of SMS ?Our strategy has been to support the range of platforms and devices that for whatever reasons companies have built up during the years. So most companies will have a range of smartphones they support for their senior staff ? now with BlackBerry we can cover virtually all needs and they are not forced to standardise prematurely on one device or another. Similarly for many larger companies cheaper POP3 email to the desktop only is all that is required for office staff and Exchange or Zimbra is needed for certain groups of staff. We can meet all these needs utilising a single Domain if required and of course single point of contact for ordering and support.?

Latest Software Technology aids growing Email and Web Hosting firm in improving service to customers

Warrington Thursday October 25th 2007. ?Simply Mail Solutions have adopted the latest Virtualisation Software technology to allow them to grow their service whilst improving service to customers and making more efficient use of hardware.

Commented Colin Smith SMS Managing Director ?To some companies virtualisation is just about running more servers on a given piece of hardware. For us it was about maintaining levels of service customer without the number of individual items of hardware getting out of hand and becoming unmanageable?

SMS has adopted Infrastructure 3 from VMware, Inc ? one of the hottest technology company flotations of 2007 (NYSE: VMW) and implemented it on a batch of powerful new servers from Dell.

Commented Keith Pritchard, Technical Director of SMS ?The ability to leverage our enterprise class centralised NetApp storage means that the virtual machines are available to any of the hosts in a cluster. This gives us the ability to seamlessly move a service between servers with zero downtime in the case of a hardware problem for example. The high availability platform constantly monitors itself and all services for any sign of a problem and can take immediate action. Of course, services can be moved manually across the cluster for maintenance meaning no downtime to upgrade memory or replace a card.

Keith added ?The solution takes considerably less power than older solutions and is a key component of SMS?s ongoing commitment to a more environmentally friendly data centre. This came at a good time for us and saved us buying a large number of individual servers. The existing servers will be redeployed for services such as DNS?

The company?s main email hosting products are:

Simply Mail Solutions gains another important client for its email hosting services.

Warrington Tuesday August 28th 2007. Simply Mail Solutions have announced that they have received a prestigious email hosting contract from JCT600 – one of the UK’s largest privately owned independent Motor Groups today representing 42 franchise outlets operating across the North of England with an annual turnover in excess of ?600 million.

Commented Colin Smith SMS Managing Director ?We are very pleased to have been chosen by JCT600 to host their email and feel that this is a measure of the progress we have made in the last twelve months in building our credibility through quality of service and reliability?

The initial implementation is for 300 MS Exchange email boxes on a dedicated server located at SMS?s high quality installation at Telecity in Manchester. This supports MS Outlook email to desktops and to smartphones used by JCT600. An interesting aspect about this implementation is that JCT600 had a requirement for shared administration. SMS developed a solution allowing JCT secure administration access for the aspects over which they required control, whilst removing the installation, configuration, backup and ongoing system administration burdens. This provided JCT with the best of both worlds.

Commented Nigel Shaw, Finance Director ?It was clear that it was much more economic to outsource our Exchange email that to try and run in house with all the hassle that involved. SMS have been very responsive in meeting our needs as the migration and installation has occurred. We have also added the ability to automatically include disclaimers with all our emails which will ensure that we meet all the current legal requirements for information on emails.?

JCT600
JCT600 remains a proud family firm with a long and illustrious history in the motor industry. JCT600 is now the official centre for many leading volume manufacturers; for prestige names such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz; for sporting legends Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati and Lotus; and for world famous marques Aston Martin and Bentley. Current Chief Executive, John Tordoff is grandson of Edward Tordoff who founded the enterprise back in 1946 and son of Jack Tordoff who ran the company for over 44 highly successful years until he moved to the role of Chairman in 2002.

With MS Exchange Hosting from Simply Mail Solutions Disclaimers can be automatically added.

Warrington Friday July 27th 2007. Many UK companies seem to be ignoring new regulations regarding the information that they must include on company emails. Since the beginning of the year it has been necessary to include the information previously compulsory for headed paper. European regulations require clear identification of the company and a means of rapidly getting in touch.

In addition latest legal advice is to add a disclaimer to all emails to reduce the liability of companies with respect to things such as breach of confidentiality, employer?s liability and virus damage to recipients computers.

Commented Colin Smith SMS Managing Director ?We have responded to the growing need for email users to be able to easily and automatically add disclaimers to the end of all emails with a new product for users of our MS Exchange hosted email service. Even smaller companies need to take this in hand rather than expecting each user to add the required information to each email. ?

To help users understand the requirements more clearly SMS has also produced a paper as part of its ?Analysis? series and this can be downloaded as PDF from the company?s website.

Automatically adding a disclaimer means that the company can be sure that all employees are complying. In many cases it makes it feasible for companies to add what are in effect adverts to all their emails ? feasible because it is very easy to change the slogan or message as needed as part of the company?s campaigns.
