Google recently announced the end of life of its Postini email security service – as a result, all Postini customers will have to migrate to the Google Apps platform or find an alternative solution.

The Solution is Mimecast.

With a solid track record of migrating customers from Google Postini, we deliver an easy migration process and take the pain out of moving away from Google’s platform.

But a stress free migration is just the beginning.

Mimecast customers get outstanding on-going support and an unparalleled Email Security service – a service that puts more tools and enhanced functionality in the hands of administrators and end users.

Our customers bear testament to the simplicity and ease that is part and parcel of migration to Mimecast - and to the excellence of the Mimecast Email Security solution

Google’s announcement that all current Postini customers will be migrated to the Google Apps platform, has led many to seek new email security providers.

For those companies seeking to migrate away from Postini, Mimecast is the number one choice for Email Security in the Cloud.  That comes down to two things:

• Our reputation for support, unparalleled email security services and enhanced features for administrators and end users
• Our easy migration path from Google Postini and proven track record for delivering a painless transition - we provide a managed migration designed to eliminate disruption and downtime.

Mimecast Email Security is the most comprehensive cloud-based email security and compliance solution on the market today. Our massively scalable mail transfer agent (MTA) with its multiple layers of malware and spam protection acts as your email bridgehead in the cloud, stopping known and emerging email borne threats before they reach your network.

As a result, Mimecast Email Security is backed by rock solid SLAs – 100% virus protection and 98% spam protection (with 0.0001% false positives).

In addition, granular and flexible email content and secure communication policies can be created and applied to outbound traffic in real-time, enabling you to take proactive data leak prevention (DLP) measures.

Mimecast Email Security is just one component of the Mimecast Unified Email Management suite of services. This means that you have the flexibility to easily add email continuity and archiving services either now or in the future, all managed from a single administration console.

Take the pain out of finding a new Email Security solution with our managed Google Postini migration.

We already move more companies from Google Postini than any other email security vendor – so we know how to make the migration process easy and painless.

All Google Postini customers moving to Mimecast get a simple five-step migration process, which is designed to ensure there is no loss of service or security during the move.

Step one

Contact us. We’ll be delighted to help you transition away from Postini before Google forces you over to its Google Apps platform. 

Step two

In a matter of moments we’ll have a Mimecast account setup for you, and we’ll give you all the IP address and DNS information you’ll need. We’ll help you direct your outbound SMTP email through Mimecast.

Step three

Once your email is flowing out through Mimecast we’ll help you connect your Active Directory (AD) to Mimecast.  AD is important as it helps us secure your email flow and authenticate your users - your own AD groups are also a handy way of applying policies. This is nothing to worry about; we use a secure LDAPS tunnel and help you configure your firewall to only allow access to and from our specific IP addresses. We’ll do the same with the journal mailbox connector for your Exchange Server.

Step four

Migrating your existing policies and access control lists. This is the part you’re probably dreading; moving your policies and lists to another provider. We know how long it takes to tune these settings, so want to make it easy for you to move to Mimecast. Our Service Delivery Team will work with you to create the same security policies, block and allow lists you have in Postini, but in Mimecast., As a bonus, we’ll even help you create a whole set of new ones Postini could never provide.

Step five

The final stage is moving your MX Records. This is nowhere near as hard as most people think. Again our Service Delivery team will work with you to schedule a time to move your MX Records from Postini to Mimecast, and the team will be available when this takes place to help you along to way. We always recommend closing down your Postini account after you’ve moved your MX records.
