Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Exchange Server Online

Are you looking for secure email communication for your small business?

Since 1993, in one form or another, Microsoft Exchange Server has been the standard for business-class email and secure communication. With the recent advent and growing popularity of newer, more mobile technologies, Microsoft has now placed this service in the cloud, with Exchange Server Online, making the venerable email service more versatile than ever.

What is Exchange Server?

Exchange Server from Microsoft is a traditional on-site e-mail-based collaborative communications server for businesses, including business-class email, calendar, and contacts for your PC, phone, laptop, tablet, and web browser – any place at any time. Exchange Server provides “a simplified approach to high availability and disaster recovery, achieve new levels of reliability and reduce complexity, while protecting sensitive and confidential information.”

The basic function of Exchange Server is to provide your organization with a secure communication system, including:

• Support for IMAP, POP and web email clients including Microsoft Outlook.
• Functionality that allows users to share information using either Outlook Web Access or Outlook.

What is Exchange Server Online?

Exchange Server Online is the hosted version of Exchange Server, a subscription service that offers access to the same secure communication services off-site, hosted by the software giant’s globally redundant servers rather than your own; essentially renting the service, beginning at $4 per month per user, rather than buying and hosting the software yourself. Exchange Online offers users a comfortable, familiar email experience across PCs and mobile devices, as well as all over the Web, while also providing a powerful menagerie of web-based management tools for IT administrators, small businesses, solopreneurs, and professionals.

With the inherent versatility of the Exchange services, you can …

• Use on-site hosting
• Use off-site hosting
• Create a hybrid mix of on-site and off-site hosting
