Hybrid email hosting versus Kerio Connect

In this economy companies are looking for ways to get “more bang for the buck”. That is to say, leverage as much as they can, for every dollar spent. This is especially true of companies that have chosen a Hybrid Email hosting account for their domain.

The benefits, of using an email hosting service, are no cost of ownership for the hardware, software and ongoing maintenance needed to implement and maintain an on-premises email server. Conversely, the cost of using an email hosting account is fixed and paid in monthly, quarterly, semi annual or annual increments. You pay for the service and the provider does everything else, from ensuring resiliency and redundancy, to keeping systems and software up to date, to filtering out any spam and virus.

Kerio Connect 7.1 is now available – SO WHAT’S NEW?

A pretty major improvement on mobile connectivity options – Kerio Connector for BlackBerry is installed on the same server as BES. This provides over-the-air syncing of mail, contacts, calendars, and tasks between Kerio Connect and the native clients on Blackberry devices.

Sophos which is a new, high-performance anti-virus and anti-malware scan engine, is the offered A/V in Connect 7.1.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 is now also supported.

These are just a few of the key updates we’ve made to Kerio Connect.

Kerio unveils new anti-virus partner, Sophos

Technology partnerships are key to delivering high quality, competitive products and services, and this is especially true in the information security industry. Expertise in a given area is developed over years at great expense, and it often makes more sense to acquire proven technology rather than try to build it. Such is the case with anti-virus, a critical component of Unified Threat Management solutions.

Distributed Domain: Bringing offices together

Before we launched Kerio Connect, we had a customer who was trying to implement groupware across multiple offices with multiple servers in many locations. When companies have large numbers of people or more than one location, they may think twice because everyone points back to the same mail server. That mail server is the biggest single point of failure. How can we mitigate that risk?

Kerio Connect Launch.. the results are in!

Just wanted to send a quick THANK YOU to all our partners and customers that attended our Kerio Channel Mixer/Connect Launch Party at Jillian's on February 11, 2010. We had an outstanding event with over 100+ attendees. I hope that everyone had a great time!

Effective Kerio marketing at work.. on-site at Macworld 2010 in SF!

Open-standards CardDAV pioneered in Connect 7 RC1

In Kerio Connect 7 (previously known as Kerio MailServer) we've added support for the CardDAV protocol. This means you can synchronize to Apple Address book without any plugin, and changes are published almost immediately.

We've also added a configuration tool in our Integration Page (available from the Kerio WebMail login page) to simplify the setup of a CardDAV account in Mac OS X 10.6.
