Enterprise Messaging Service is a managed messaging solution built for businesses
of all sizes. Designed as a scalable, redundant and cost efficient "enterprise class"
messaging solution, our platform is based on Microsoft's® Hosted Exchange 2003 architecture.
Enterprise Messaging Service is offered in two configurations:
- Standard: a shared Microsoft® Exchange 2003 platform located within a Hosting Internet Data Center that provides access via the Internet and uses predefined user packages.
- Plus: a dedicated Microsoft® Exchange 2003 platform, built to meet specific customer requirements (either located within an Internet Data Center or on the customer premises).
Providing the business’s designated administrator with control and convenience,
Enterprise Messaging Service offers a robust, web-based administration portal
as well as remote access via multiple wire-line and wireless technologies.
Both models are backed by committed service levels. Leveraging the high availability,
reliability and security of our Internet Data Center infrastructure, the performance
of our Enterprise Messaging Service is strengthened through failover firewalls, load
balancing switches, redundant servers, active/passive Exchange servers, storage arrays and
