AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 5, 2006 -- MessageOne, a leading business continuity and
email management company, today announced a new version of its flagship EMS
Email Continuity solution that features full integration with Microsoft
Outlook so users can continue sending and receiving email as usual during
any email outage. The EMS Email Continuity service is the only email
continuity offering to combine protection against all common email threats,
seamless Outlook integration, and support for BlackBerry wireless devices,
all in an affordable and easy-to-deploy solution.
Proven Email Continuity Meets Critical Need
While email has grown in importance and become the most used and most
critical business application, some 75% of companies are expected to
experience an unplanned email outage in the next year, according to
research from MessageOne.
Many organizations have found that traditional approaches to high
availability, such as replication, are expensive and still vulnerable to
lengthy outages caused by database corruption, Active Directory corruption,
configuration errors, viruses, and malware. As the only approach to provide
full protection against outages, email continuity-managed services have
grown rapidly. Up until now, these systems have required users to switch to
a web-based back-up email system during outages, causing user disruption.
Email Outages without Worries
More than 1,000 companies and millions of users depend on MessageOne's EMS
Email Continuity to eliminate the risk of email downtime. Unlike other
continuity solutions, EMS is fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook. When
email outages occur, administrators can failover to EMS in less than
60-seconds. Behind the scenes, EMS automatically redirects users as they
work in Outlook to a Linux-based back-up email managed service that has no
dependencies on Exchange, Active Directory, or a company's internal IT
infrastructure.
With EMS, email outages become invisible to end users as they switch
automatically between a company's internal Exchange server and the EMS
Email Continuity managed service. EMS supports all essential Outlook
capabilities and provides direct access to historical email, calendaring
and contact information.
"Exchange outages are a fact of life in today's corporate world -- but it
does not have to mean that businesses must grind to a screeching halt,"
said Satin Mirchandani, President and CEO of MessageOne. "Our new EMS
Email Continuity managed service makes outages invisible to end users
through transparent integration with Outlook. With a strong reputation for
reliability, affordability and easy deployment, our EMS Email Continuity
service is the only way to make email downtime a relic of the past."
Key features of EMS Email Continuity include:
Guaranteed 60 second email continuity - full email access through
Outlook, a web browser or BlackBerry wireless device.
Total downtime protection - uninterrupted global email access no matter
what the cause of the outage.
Highest continuity, lowest cost - allows administrators to control
costs by providing granular control of the amount of email history
stored for each user.
Unparalleled security - satisfies the most stringent regulations and
hosted within hardened secure data centers.
Active compliance - fully compliant with third party archiving systems
and corporate email retention policies.
Quick recovery - automatically moves all sent, received, and deleted
email back to primary system in one step, with all forensic information
intact.
Fully managed service - requires no dedicated staff and can be deployed
in a few hours.
