| AT&T's Data Hosting Services for MS Exchange Hosted Services AT&T has announced a contract with Microsoft. AT&T will provide co-location hosting and Internet connectivity for its newly launched Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services (EHS). The service offers fully managed messaging services that help organizations protect themselves from e-mail-borne malware, satisfies retention requirements for compliance, encrypts data to preserve confidentiality, and preserves access to e-mail during and after emergency situations. The deal creates a networking solution for the Microsoft EHS platform, which supports AT&T Secure E-Mail Gateway service, to maximize performance for enterprise customers. The contract with AT&T provides Internet Data Center (IDC) space and Internet connectivity to support EHS services, including Hosted Filtering (policy, anti-spam, and antivirus message filtering), Hosted Archive, Hosted Continuity, and Hosted Encryption. Leveraging the long-standing relationship between the two companies, Microsoft looked to AT&T for an expeditious implementation. AT&T's Secure E-Mail Gateway Service, based on the Microsoft EHS platform, offers enterprise business customers a variety of benefits, including virus scanning, content filtering and spam filtering. These features enable enterprises to lower their total cost of ownership of enterprise message security while off-loading its scarce IT resources. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
