The Cloudmore Control panel enables you to:

• Create, customise and manage subscriptions and service plans per user • Manage, Public Folders, Resources, Distribution Lists and Domains • Manage Email Address Policies

• Manage Email Contacts including external contacts, granting “Full Access” rights, “Send As” and “Send on behalf” rights and using forwarding

4. Required Specifications

To use the complete set of features available in Outlook Web App (OWA) it requires a broadband connection and any of the following browsers and versions: Internet Explorer 7 and later, FireFox 3.0.1 and later or Chrome 3.0 195.27 and later. The Cloudmore Exchange Service will work with Microsoft Office with Outlook 2007 or later.

5. Platform

The service platform is based on Microsoft’s Exchange 2010 Hosting Edition prescribed architecture and is designed to support hundreds of thousands of mailboxes. The platform contains no single point of failure and consists of clustered Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 software. The service is hosted on enterprise level servers accessing data from resilient SAN solution. Cloudmore Exchange is built with reliability and redundancy in mind. All elements of the service are clustered within the data centre so that there are no single points of failure. If you use Outlook in Cached Exchange mode to access your email then a local copy of the mailbox is stored on your machine, this enables you to work even if you are unable to access the Cloudmore Exchange service for any reason. In addition, in the event of the Cloudmore Exchange Server being unavailable for a time email is queued at the perimeter gateway, outside the Cloudmore data centre, meaning that it will be delivered as soon as the email service becomes available again.

6. Data Integrity, Backup and Restore

Cloudmore performs daily backups of Customer data and the backup is retained for one week. Weekly backups are also performed and retained for thirty days. The Cloudmore Exchange data backup is undertaken for disaster recovery purposes only; however should the end user require a restore of their data this can be completed as an additional cost. Please refer to the Cloudmore Price List for full details. Cloudmore is not responsible for data loss resulting from the failure or loss of backup media.

The databases are located in Sweden so are subject to the European Data Protection Act.

Cloudmore Exchange can be accessed from any mobile device that is internet enabled. In the event that the mobile device that users active sync.is lost or stolen, Outlook Web App allows users to remotely wipe the device, deleting the data contained on the device.

9.1 Data Retention

Cloudmore will not retain any data including, but not limited to, user data, active directory, log files and backup copies, upon account termination.

During the 14 day period, the user can retrieve the items from Outlook or Outlook Web App (OWA) by using the “Recover Deleted Items” feature.

10. Access methods

Outlook uses Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTPS) to connect to Exchange, this ensures all data is encrypted and avoids the need for VPN access. Outlook 2007 and the latest Entourage editions are also supported. Outlook 2003 is not supported.

Mailbox databases are stored in a Data Availability Group (DAG) mirrored between two different enterprise class SANs.

DAG is designed to use the built-in continuous replication feature to replicate mailbox databases among servers in the DAG.
