VORBOSS

Hosted Exchange Email

Hosted Exchange

We provide flexible, reliable and scalable Microsoft Exchange services for clients of any size.

We have packages starting from a single mailbox on a our shared Exchange platform, to providing a dedicated Exchange server, configured exclusively for your organisation. We can even transition you between the two as your organisation grows.

Microsoft Exchange running in a hosted environment provides the perfect balance of enterprise business tools with low management overhead, and forms an excellent basis for a remote working infrastructure.

If your organisation has fewer than 75 employees, and are looking to implement dedicated hosted Exchange, consider taking a look at our Hosted Small Business Server service.

Benefits Top

Microsoft Exchange is a great enterprise email platform. Choosing to host your Exchange system with Vorboss brings several additional advantages:

  1. The system is managed and maintained by us, so there's no administration fees to pay.
  2. We provide our standard Service Level Agreement (SLA), meaning you don't have to worry about downtime.
  3. We take care of all the backup.
  4. Our Hosted Exchange platform uses Microsoft Forefront security and spam filtering.
  5. It's completely scalable thanks to our rental SPLA licences. You just pay for the number of users that you need. You can increase or decrease each month, with no penalty.
  6. If you choose dedicated Exchange, we can integrate it with your existing Microsoft systems.

The Details Top

Hosted Exchange can be provided in either a shared environment, where your mailbox is stored on the same cluster of servers used by our other clients, or via a dedicated server. The key differences are outlined below:
