A SaaS-based email continuity solution ensures 100 percent access to email.

Email is one of the most important applications in your business. When your email system is down, business can quickly grind to a halt. Communication between employees, customers, suppliers, and partners is lost. Productivity plummets, opportunities are lost, and reputation can suffer. Because email outages are inevitable, however, having a strategy to retain access to email during any crisis is critical.

Email continuity is emerging as a highly cost-effective solution for keeping email available to users. Where high availability strategies focus on preventing outages, and recovery strategies focus on getting systems up and running quickly, an email continuity strategy focuses on providing access to email via alternative means for as long as the system is down. Compared to the cost and administrative burden of other strategies, an email continuity solution is highly affordable and easy to manage.

Mimecast provides email continuity technology that reduces cost, minimizes complexity and delivers 100 percent access to email.

How Mimecast email continuity works

Mimecast's email continuity service works by automatically queuing new email for Microsoft Exchange during an email server outage or network failure. Email is delivered to a hosted inbox accessible via Microsoft Outlook or webmail. Users get access to new email before its delivery to the mail server. Once email servers are up and running again, queued email and new email created during the outage are delivered to the email server.

With Mimecast's email continuity service, you can keep users productive and communicating even while your email servers are being restored. You can also provide email continuity during a minor outage or planned downtime.
