We now have a service called Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services that enables companies to implement traditional high-level security services for their messaging environment without the overhead of implementing the infrastructure or administrative responsibilities.

 

Exchange Hosted Services operates over the Internet and provides the follwing capabilities:
– Filtering for spam and virus protection
– Archiving to satisfy compliance requirements and internal policies
– Encryption to preserve email confidentiality
– Continuity for on going access to email during and after disasters

 

Services cost depends on the functionality the customer wants.  Here’s some rough numbers of what you can anticipate:

Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering:  $1.09/user/month
Microsoft Exchange Hosted Archiving:  $12.98/user/month
Microsoft Exchange Hosted Archiving – Extra Storage:  $3.61/user/month
Microsoft Exchange Hosted Encryption: $1.41/user/month
Microsoft Exchange Hosted Continuity: $1.85/user/month

 

Basically, it minimizes the complexity of backup, compliance, SPAM filtering, virus protection, and uptime for customers.
