Having introduced Hosted Exchange services way back in 2007 when the concept was new, 2011 brings a new era of maturity and with it, Hosted Exchange 2010.

Being one of the first providers in Australia to adopt the new service provider features, EtherTech are now leagues ahead with a dedicated cluster purely for Hosted Exchange services.

With organisation scalability in to the tens of thousands, EtherTech has a Hosted Exchange solution that will suit any budget.

Hosted Exchange vs. on-premise Exchange

At EtherTech, we really focus on the small and medium business. Unfortunately, SME’s don’t always have the budget, skills or availability of IT staff to meet their increasing demands in such a competitive market place. As the demands of email servers increase, so too does its complexity and system requirements.

Hosted Exchange in the cloud has a number of benefits including:

By realising these benefits, the overall costs of expensive IT costs are mitigated over the period of the life of the system. In most cases, all customers – both large and small – who have adopted this approach have found it simpler to manage and simpler to maintain than on-premise installations.

Feature	Benefit
Clustered Email Solution	Delivering enterprise class redundancy to small business
Improved Resiliency	If your Internet connection fails, then mobile devices or wireless broadband access can still give your staff some level of accessibility. Alternatively, some Internet routers can now support 3G failover which ideally works well with hosted email solutions but not as well on-premise mail servers.
Future-proofed Software Investment	Don’t worry about future licensing costs and expensive software upgrades, let EtherTech handle that for you with an all-inclusive cost
Easy to Manage	The solution uses a simple web administration tool, allowing office managers or business managers the ability to perform password resets, create new users, wipe mobile device data, at the click of a button and without any technical training.
Remote Device Wipe	Factory reset a mobile phone that may contain sensitive contact or personal information if it has been stolen or is to be reused for another staff member.
Scalability	Upgrade from 5GB mailbox storage to 25GB at the click of a button. Add mailboxes when you need them and remove them when you don’t. We scale to thousands of email accounts!
Email limits	Increased in the cloud from the traditional 10MB, up to 128MB. Ideal for design studios and customers that have large email send requirements.
Reduced support costs	The monthly service fee from EtherTech includes free technical support, so any requests technical problems are borne by us, not you.
Reduced Capex Costs	When deploying new server hardware, the system requirements for email are removed, thereby reducing hardware costs by up to 50% and turning depreciating capital expenditure costs, in to operational expenditure tax benefits.
