NaviSite launches a mid-tier Dedicated Exchange Hosting solution

Please note it is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of any information, opinion or advice contained in the content below.

One of the strong points with a Dedicated Exchange Hosting solution is single sign-on integration with other Microsoft products, such as Sharepoint or Dynamics CRM.

Watch out for hidden fees if you plan on adding a Windows Domain Controller, or a Blackberry Enterprise Server.

Most users know how to navigate Microsoft Outlook and all their collaboration tools (address book and scheduler/meeting requests).

Gmail and Google Apps is slowing gaining acceptance, but you can’t argue with the large user base of Outlook and Exchange users out there.

Of course, make sure you review your SLA – service level agreements. Email servers require a lot of maintenance, and a weekly weekday 3 hour outage is not uncommon!

The new Dedicated Exchange 2007 solution provides dedicated, fully managed Exchange environment with easy-to-understand per user pricing.

ANDOVER, Mass.–NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of enterprise hosting and application solutions, today announced the addition of a Dedicated Microsoft Exchange 2007 offering as a mid-tier solution to compliment its current Exchange portfolio including On-Demand Hosted Exchange 2007 and highly customizable Enterprise Exchange 2007. The new offering includes customer-dedicated mailbox servers built on NaviSite’s powerful On-Demand Hosted Exchange Platform. It is available in a single server configuration with a dual-server redundancy option using Microsoft Exchange 2007 best practice CCR clustering, allowing NaviSite to confidently offer SLA uptime commitments up to 99.9%.

“What we have seen in the market over the past year is demand for an enterprise-class email and collaboration solution designed specifically for organizations that are somewhere between a multi-national corporation requiring a globally distributed and redundant enterprise solution, and an SMB that needs a few dozen mailboxes with a predictable fixed monthly cost,” said Tony Rorai, Director of Product Management – Messaging and MBS at NaviSite. “We believe that providing a Dedicated Exchange 2007 solution with fixed monthly per-seat pricing is a first in the industry and allows IT managers to switch from a budgeting dilemma for a critical but non-strategic function to a predictable cost model, freeing up resources to focus on core business priorities.”

The standard features of NaviSite’s Dedicated Exchange 2007 offering include:

  • Easy to understand per-user pricing with all servers and fees included and no upfront capital expenditure costs
  • Access to additional NaviSite On-Demand applications such as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft CRM, without the additional expense of dedicated servers
  • Installation, configuration, patch management, and 24×7 monitoring of Exchange servers, including hardware, OS, and application
  • 24×7 Level 2 and 3 support
  • Comprehensive web-based administrator and end user control panel
  • Anywhere, anytime access with Outlook 2003/2007, Entourage 2008, Outlook Web Access, MAPI/HTTPS, RPC/HTTPS and POP3
  • Free Outlook 2007 for Microsoft and Entourage 2008 for Apple software
  • Free iPhone access with Microsoft ActiveSync
  • Calendaring, scheduling, and public folders
  • Premium anti-spam protection
