Hosted Exchange Solution Launched by Databarracks

Databarracks Limited, UK provider of managed online backup and DR services, has launched a Hosted Exchange solution which allows companies to host their email in a secure data centre.

Databarracks Hosted Exchange platforms are based in a data centre situated in an ex-MOD bunker, which was designed to protect command and control systems in the event of a nuclear war. The Tier 4 data centre is PCI Compliant and ISO 27001 accredited and designed to withstand both natural and urban disasters. It is patrolled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and run by security professionals.

Databarracks’ Managing Director, Peter Groucutt, says: "Many companies are nervous about hosting their IT systems in the cloud. They want to know where their data is being stored, on what hardware and with what security. Our Hosted Exchange platforms are based in an ultra-secure data centre offering unbeatable levels of physical and digital safety."

Groucutt believes there’s never been a better time for companies to branch out into the cloud: "Hosted Exchange is the perfect stepping stone between traditional internally managed IT systems and the cloud. Changes in cloud infrastructure and Microsoft licencing mean that for many companies having a flexible approach to Exchange is more cost-effective."

"Our prices compare with all the providers out there but we are offering Hosted Exchange with a resilience that is second to none. We only use industry-leading hardware and all our systems are designed with availability, resilience, performance and security as core principles," says Groucutt.

Databarracks’ Dedicated and Shared Hosted Exchange platforms run on industry leading HP Blade array servers with Network RAID 10 and storage RAID 5 for resilience. Uptime is 99.99% and the Hosted Exchange environment is replicated and has off-site backups.

"We put our decade of experience providing online backup and DR services into giving an enhanced Hosted Exchange service and our expert technicians are on hand to provide free round the clock support 365 days a year," adds Groucutt.

Prices start from £3.95 per mailbox per month for 20GB of storage and include free setup and migration.

Databarracks’ Exchange platforms are hosted in some of the most secure data centres in the world. Based in former MOD, nuclear bunkers, they are situated deep underground and protected by exceptional levels of digital and physical security.
