Mimecast and Microsoft

Microsoft Partner LogoMimecast simplifies your Microsoft Exchange environment and reduces the complexity of your email management infrastructure by moving ancillary email services to Mimecast and the Cloud.

Mimecast displaces the network of supporting point solutions that surrounds your Microsoft Exchange server by delivering a Cloud based and centralized email management platform we call UEM (Unified Email Management). UEM is a single cloud platform that simplifies complexity, reduces cost, reduces risk and enhances functionality.

Mimecast’s UEM platform delivers:

  • Essential email security improvements; industry leading anti-malware, email privacy and compliance controls with DLP and email encryption, end user empowerment tools and unparalleled content and policy granularity.
  • Email continuity, whatever causes the outage; during planned and unplanned downtime email stays seamlessly available, across platforms. Outlook, BlackBerry and webmail continuity supports your users during server outages.
  • Enterprise grade compliance archiving; support your knowledge workers and your legal or compliance obligations with Mimecast’s email archiving. Rich end user empowerment tools, corporate eDiscovery and litigation support.

Mimecast UEM supports all types of Microsoft Exchange deployments, from on-premise Exchange to Office 365, Exchange Online and Hosted Exchange. Mimecast also provides essential migration readiness for Microsoft Exchange.

On-premise

The classic Microsoft Exchange Server has been deployed into your network for many years. Over those years a supporting network of point solutions has grown up around Microsoft Exchange, usually in response to specific business problems or requirements. Today your Microsoft Exchange Server is likely to be surrounded by solutions for anti-spam, anti-virus, encryption, reporting, archiving, compliance, document management and many more.

Mimecast’s cloud-based UEM platform removes the need for those point solutions by delivering email security, continuity and archiving services through a single unified cloud platform. This single solution approach reduces the risks associated with the complexity of ancillary email systems, leaving you with a lean, high performance Microsoft Exchange Server on-premise.

Mimecast provides all of the functionality you need and extends your toolset to include enterprise grade features in a fully integrated unified email management platform.

Hosted Exchange

Hosted Exchange environments have become more popular recently as businesses look to reduce their in-house email costs and risks, increase functionality and take their first steps to the Cloud.

Mimecast UEM for Hosted Exchange is a cloud-based email management platform designed to deliver the essential services required to run an email environment alongside Hosted Exchange, by giving your business a complete and integrated cloud email management infrastructure.

Hosted Exchange is often only provided with a basic set of services for email security, archiving and continuity, which are sometimes not even configurable by your business. Mimecast UEM for Hosted Exchange solves that problem by making sure you retain control of all the features and functionality within your hosted email environment.

Mimecast’s UEM platform delivers:

  • Enterprise grade compliance archiving; support your knowledge workers and your legal or compliance obligations with Mimecast’s email archiving. Rich end user empowerment tools, corporate eDiscovery and litigation support.

Mimecast will also support your migration to a Hosted Exchange provider. Mimecast’s UEM Email Archive enables the full ingestion of your historical email data set, allowing you to deal with your own big-data problems before you migrate and, importantly, keeping your migration data volumes to a minimum.
