Mimecast Provides Free Microsoft Exchange 2010 Migration Services
Mimecast, a cloud-based email wellbeing company, made an announcement on Monday that it will grant migration services to firms, upgrading their systems to Microsoft Exchange 2010 or Office 365, free of charge for six-months. The migration services, as declared in a press release, have been reported to diminish data loss and email downtime during the migration process.
It has been chose that Justin Pirie, the company’s director of communities and content, will reportedly address at the upcoming HostingCon 2011 on Monday, August 8, regarding the responsibilities traditional web hosting companies can use in the budding cloud market. Mimecast has stated that along with offering constant access to email through all intended and unplanned server downtime, migration services will also thwart off data loss with an additional 58-day email record of all emails.
The company affirms that the live and recorded collection of emails can be retrieved through Mimecast’s webmail mailbox.
“We’re in this area to witness a surge in email migration as companies look to take advantage of the power and flexibility of Exchange 2010 on premise, or go to Microsoft’s fully hosted email solution, Office 365,” stated co-founder and CEO of Mimecast, Peter Bauer. “Though, any migration process has inherent risks which, if not dealt with correctly, can result in email downtime, data loss and wellbeing lapses. We are offering organisations the chance to place in house safeguards before they migrate, essentially de-risking the entire process. Our hope is that our offer will accelerate uptake of Microsoft’s new platforms, at the same time exposing businesses to the benefits of a collective Mimecast / Microsoft email environment.”
Mimecast announced that it is providing an Exchange 2010 Readiness Kit for organizations, specifically bearing Exchange 2010 in mind. The Readiness Kit consists of how-to-guides, solution briefs, webinar run and data sheets to help client in preparation and troubleshooting migrations.
The partnership of Mimecast with NaviSite, a managed cloud-hosting provider, has been reported for email system migrations.
“Mimecast enables us to offer secure, highly reliable, cloud-based support for Microsoft Exchange at predictable monthly fees and without up-front expenditures—vital considerations for customers undertaking email system migrations,” declared Craig Sandman, NaviSite’s senior director of strategic alliances. “This combination of messaging from NaviSite and email management from Mimecast not only eases the migration process, but also allows customers to quickly capitalize on the benefits offered by the next generation of Microsoft email.”
The initially European cloud hosting node was introduced by NaviSite in Woking, UK, last month.
