How do users connect to ExchangeCloud?
Head Office - For complete integration it
is recommended that your business WAN is extended into Nimbus-Q
typically via SSL VPN. In this way you the ExchangeCloud solution
acts exactly as your own dedicated Exchange infrastructure would,
but as a 24x7 Managed platform with the highly resilient features
that you require.
Remote Office - Again, an SSL VPN can
create a permanent connection or individual users can connect via
RPC over HTTPs for complete flexibility.
Roaming User - RPC over HTTPs will allow
a remote user to connect to the ExchangeCloud platform without
loading up a cumbersome VPN client or worrying about client office
firewalls.
Home User - Where infrequent access is
required, the Outlook Web Access client in Exchange 2010 is
incredible in its features and an excellent replacement for the
full fat Outlook client.
Mobile Devices - ExchangeCloud supports
virtually all mobile devices, including the ability to deploy a
BlackBerry Enterprise Server or synchronise via Exchange
ActiveSync. Android and iPhone users are also fully supported.
Thin Client Access - Where the full fat
Outlook client is now appropriate, the Outlook Web Access client in
Exchange 2010 is incredible in its features and particularly in a
Remote Desktop or Citrix environment becomes a very simply method
of deployment and support.
How do I administer my ExchangeCloud environment?
As ExchangeCloud is a 24x7 Managed Environment, the burden of
platform, OS & application management is mostly removed from
your IT team, and one of the many reasons it provides such a good
return on investment. Where administration is still required, such
as mailbox permissions or storage allocation, there are two main
methods of administration:
Exchange Management Console - This is an MMC
snap-in in Exchange 2010 that we provide relevant access to your IT
team to work with
Exchange Control Panel - This is a web
accessible Exchange control panel that is found in extended pages
of Outlook Web Access. Rights to use this are given at
administrator level and can only be seen by the relevant members of
your organisation
