Hosted is better...

“According to CNET, 80% of businesses are looking to move at least some of their services to the cloud.” Why this rush? Well, to start with, there’s no hardware or software to worry about.” Also you can forget about backup tapes, fireproof storage, and encryption, all your information can stored and mirrored in fully redundant datacentres. Meaning you can get on with running your business and not your servers and IT systems.

The big question that arises when I am discussing cloud based services with my clients is around security. Will my data be safe? Will it be backed up? And will I have access to my data whenever I want? The simple answer is YES. Fruit Mobile hosts all of its cloud based services in purpose-built datacentres. The datacentres hold mirrored or duplicate data and are in different locations, this adds resilience and protection over data lose. Meaning we can offer a guaranteed uptime of 99.9%. In fact, all your data is encrypted and tamperproof. Can you really say that about your current setup?

For example with our hosted email archiving solution MessageProtect all genuine emails are delivered to your inbox within seconds. On top of this, your business gets an indexed, compressed, encrypted and tamper proof record of who said what and when.

Hosted services can be a very cost effective method to access to the latest technologies with huge investment at the front end also it can mean scalable solutions as some cloud based solutions are available on a short term or rolling contract.

In my opinion a cloud based email service like Hosted Exchange 2010 is very much an entry point for businesses moving “into the cloud”. The benefits of Hosted Exchange 2010 could have a huge effect on your business:
