Microsoft Exchange Server

Mdaemon Email Server starts at< $800 (server and 5 users) with 1 year software assurance and including 5 Outlook connectors and 5 ActiveSync licenses. More licenses results in significant discounting. Additional users typically <$20 each (25 user realm), Outlook & Active Sync connectors (<$25 per in 10 user realm).
Many organizations find that a local mail archive solution meets their objectives for safety, security and compliance. SGC recommends, sells, installs and supports this product.
GFI Archiver archives emails, files and calendar entries. Its File Archiving Assistant (FAA) enables you to share files between users and store them centrally and safely without relying on online storage providers.
Minimize legal risk. Archive emails and files in their original state – in a central, tamper-proof store – to help with compliance, e-discovery and internal investigations.
Your archive is an incredible source of business intelligence. Identify legal risks and manage productivity with reports that draw from the business-critical information in your archive.
Enjoy peace of mind that stored emails are genuine and tamper-free with message-auditing functionality.
With the critical nature of timely email for most businesses – SGC believes that message continuity should be part of every businesses email strategy. While Microsoft’s Hosted Exchange Online already comes with world class redundancy and antispam features, most other (especially on premise) mail solutions have many risks and dependencies (utility power, computer, internet, bandwidth) and the deluge of undesirable email (spam) we believe is best dealt with outside of your premises and bandwidth.
