Hybrid email hosting versus Kerio Connect

In this economy companies are looking for ways to get “more bang for the buck”. That is to say, leverage as much as they can, for every dollar spent. This is especially true of companies that have chosen a Hybrid Email hosting account for their domain.

The benefits, of using an email hosting service, are no cost of ownership for the hardware, software and ongoing maintenance needed to implement and maintain an on-premises email server. Conversely, the cost of using an email hosting account is fixed and paid in monthly, quarterly, semi annual or annual increments. You pay for the service and the provider does everything else, from ensuring resiliency and redundancy, to keeping systems and software up to date, to filtering out any spam and virus.

Kerio Connect 7.1 is now available – SO WHAT’S NEW?

A pretty major improvement on mobile connectivity options – Kerio Connector for BlackBerry is installed on the same server as BES. This provides over-the-air syncing of mail, contacts, calendars, and tasks between Kerio Connect and the native clients on Blackberry devices.

Sophos which is a new, high-performance anti-virus and anti-malware scan engine, is the offered A/V in Connect 7.1.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 is now also supported.

These are just a few of the key updates we’ve made to Kerio Connect.
