Email Hosting

Ready to MIGRATE without all the hassle?

If you don't want the responsibility of owning your own email server but you want all of the same features that enterprise grade email can provide, Colbatech Solutions can connect you with the right hosted (cloud) email provider for your company. We take into account your legal and technical needs when choosing an email partner. We migrate you from your old email system to your new email system with as little hassle and disruption as possible. If you're already hosting your email with a third party, but you aren't happy with the service you are receiving, we can help you make the move.

Benefits of outsourced vs in-house email

There are many benefits to outsourcing email maintenance and management to a third party. Outsourced email provides greater security for small businesses, piece of mind, fewer headaches, and easier paths to future upgrades.

Security

Included in the monthly cost of email hosting are many advanced security features that are costly to implement in-house:

Hardware based spam filters and email archiving solutions for compliance
Complex firewalls that protect your email from hackers
Physical security that prevents theft and tampering
Finger Print Scanner
Security Cameras
Various rooms allowing variable levels of access in relation to the importance of the equipment or data being housed

Fewer Worries

Backup is performed every night by the company hosting email
In contrast, backing up in-house requires backup equipment and software.
Redundancies for every system in the email provider's data centers:
- Redundant internet connections
- Cooling systems - maintains stability
- Multiple servers hosting your email - if hardware fails your email still works
- Storage devices - to keep data safe
- Power

If any of above systems fail, a redundant system will kick into effect. You will not even know an issue occurred. In the event of a power outage, huge batteries and generators keep things running. Many times hosted email providers will have multiple data centers spread out across the nation or the world. This protects your data from natural disasters.

Future Upgrades

What happens when it's time to upgrade my email service?

Many times hosted providers will upgrade the service automatically and migrate your email in the background
To upgrade an in-house solution you would need to buy all new licensing and potentially new hardware and go through a migration process

Email hosting provides greater security for small businesses, piece of mind, fewer headaches, and easier paths to future upgrades.

When to Potentially Keep Your Email Systems In-house

Where email requires integration with other third party software
Where there are concerns about how a third party will handle your data in the event of a subpoena
Where the business owner feels more comfortable owning their email infrastructure
