Messaging &Archiving

• One of the biggest requirements of most of our customers is email and collaboration. One of the major uses of Microsoft Small Business Server is the Microsoft Exchange component. If your organization is not running Small Business Server, Microsoft Exchange 2010 can be purchased separately. Another messaging solution offered by M5 Systems is Kerio Connect . Kerio Connect can be installed on Windows Server and is a robust, less expensive solution than Microsoft Exchange. Kerio Connect integrates with Microsoft Outlook and offers many of the same features as Microsoft Exchange. Kerio's website here.

  With the use of any messaging component it is important to have a backup solution in place. For complete Microsoft Exchange backup with Granular Mailbox backup and restore an excellent choice is StorageCraft Shadow protect server http://www.storagecraft.com.
