Galaxy Backbone Hosted Messaging and Collaboration (HMC)
In order to gain new revenue opportunities while simultaneously reducing the cost of operations, small and medium-sized organizations move from POP3 and Web-based e-mail to enhanced messaging systems that provide rich e-mail services, mobile device support and collaboration technologies. Usually, the objective is to avoid deployment of complex in-house messaging systems that eliminates the cost of spam management, virus prevention, storage and archiving and business-compliance requirements. Such technologies provide organizations with the leverage to:
Access to information, even when out of the office
Get more out of an email system so that employees can get more done
Gain the peace of mind that comes from a professionally managed service
Galaxy Backbone is deploying Version 4.5 of Hosted Messaging and Collaboration which incorporates Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1, and Office Communications Server 2007. This makes it possible to offer organisations the tools and guidelines that they need to significantly improve how they communicate and collaborate.
With Galaxy Backbone deployment of its HMC, we offer our customers a broad spectrum of services ranging from basic e-mail up to higher value services such as providing additional storage, hosting personal domains and calendars. In addition, we can handle direct, multichannel communications. By using the contact information stored in Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, we are able to manage all communications, including e-mail, instant messaging, audio, video, web conferencing and PC-to-PC calling. Office Communications Server 2007 enables presence, so users can determine whether others are available before contacting them in the most practical way, for example, by instant messaging, a phone call or a video conference.
Our HMC platform provides secure productive collaboration and sharing of digital assets and will be deployed from our Data Centre in Abuja and customers can be rest assured, knowing the email system is always secure, always backed-up and always available.
Our Data Centre delivers:
Robust bandwidth
Built-in redundancy for peak performance
Server, network and infrastructure security
Timely upgrades and security patches
Onsite maintenance and support
Skilled, experienced and certified staff
User authentication that ensures only authorized users can gain access
Daily backups stored securely offsite for data recovery
Encryption of data during transition, using standard protocols like SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
Network management software to facilitate preventative maintenance
Back-up generators, fire suppression and other controls to protect against physical downtime
Our HMC platform would enable:
Rapid deployment of email to users
license management and compliance
Enterprise-class data centre for optimal security and performance
Service Level Guarantees
Zero up-front capital investment
Low and predictable costs
