• Little/No Redundancy
• Often No Backup Systems
• Typically no Disaster Recovery in place
Hosted
• RapidScale offers 100% SLA
• Tier 3/Class 1 Data Centers
• Geo-Load balanced Active/Active infrastructure
• High Availability
• Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus
• Disaster Recovery
• Email Retention
• Government-Grade Encryption

Systems and Software• Blended Burstable Bandwidth
Data Center Structure• Tier 3, Class 1 Data Center• Clean, Continuous Power and High
Capacity Redundant Generators• Around-the-Clock Infrastructure
Protection – HVAC, fire suppression and seismic engineering
• Security – on premise security guards, exterior security system, biometric system, including palm scanners and numerous security scanners with digital recorders
Reliable. Scalable. Secure. Compliant.

In-House Exchange isLess Secure
#CloudConversation
• Less physical security• Less digital security• Less backup security
Security Breaches• Security breaches usually originate within an organization• In-house opens the door for curious subordinates to read your private emails• Wrong administrative rights given to a user as a “work around”• That door is securely closed with RapidScale’s CloudMail
Myth 2
CloudMail Training 12#CloudConversation
Myth 3
You Have More Control with In-House
CloudMail allows non-technical administrators to add and remove users, manage mailboxes, distribution lists, and mobile device connections from one central location
Deploying an In-House solution requires hours of work and extremely complex knowledge, which is not inexpensive.

licensing
