The Bunker teams up with Active Office Systems Ltd to deliver Active Mail
30 May 2008
The Bunker Secure Hosting Ltd, providers of Ultra* Secure Data Centres and Managed Services have teamed up with Active Office, a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner with specialisations in Hosting, Advanced Infrastructure and Security solutions to deliver Active Mail – the cost effective corporate level email system for SMEs.
The Bunker and Active Office have an established working relationship having successfully deployed a cutting edge Microsoft Platform in 2007. The platform has been designed to allow a range of new Microsoft messaging and collaboration technologies, including Exchange 2007, to be layered together to form a robust and valuable managed service.
Active Office Director Rob Pierre commented: “Active Mail is a business email system which offers the full functionality of Microsoft Office Outlook, delivered with Microsoft Exchange 2007, which offers significant benefits over 2003 and has been re-written with the latest security, high availability and remote access technologies as integral elements of the solution. Now SMEs can benefit in the same way that large corporates‟ do but without the huge capital outlay and licensing issues – Active Mail is able to bridge the gap and offer a cost effective corporate level email system accessible to the SME market.”
The Bunker‟s role has been to provide the security and availability components required to provide prospective clients the required peace of mind. The solution development required the very best skilled technical resource available in order to bring the discrete components together to produce a market leading product. The resulting solution involves a mix of cutting edge Microsoft and Cisco security appliances which have been brought together to deliver the end product into the market. Bunker Director of Managed Services Paul Lightfoot comments: “The combination of Cisco and Microsoft components brought together by the two companies working hand in hand, has delivered a strong, resilient and secure solution into the market. We are delighted to be working with Active Office and see our relationship going from strength to strength as the product portfolio grows.”
