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.

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?
