Save up to 99% on Email Total Cost of Ownership
Email is the most valuable business tool you have. It is used for communication, collaboration and file sharing. Studies show that workers spend somewhere from 28-61% of their day using email. For a normal 8 hour day, that's can be almost 5 hours! So you can do the maths to work out the cost to your business when email is down.
In some respects if email goes down, it has such a big impact on productivity that it's like having the power go out. Email is becoming more and more like a utility as people move to hosted email accounts. Like the power supply to your workplace, email needs to be available as close to 100% of the time as possible and also as cheap as possible. It is for these reasons that many organisations are switching to hosted email rather than having their own email server(s) and licences.
So how does hosted email save money and at the same time offer high availability?
Save Money
In-house three-year total cost of ownership of Exchange1 has been put at:
| Number of Users | 10 | 100 | 1000 |
| Cost per user per month | $432.77 | $48.76 | $21.46 |
When comparing this to INCUB8's hosted enterprise email over three years:
| Number of Users | < 10 | 10 | 100 | 1000 |
| Cost per user per month (30GB)2 | $5.00 | $4.00 | $3.50 | > $3.003 |
| Cost per user per month (Unlimited) | $7.50 | $6.00 | $5.00 | > $4.003 |
High Availability
When considering availability of email, INCUB8's hosted email offers the following benefits over a single server in-house hosted email:
- Redundant Hardware - multiple servers configured so should one server have a hardware problem, we move your email to another server
- Redundant Internet Connections so should one internet connection go down, we seemlessly move over to another connection
- Geographic Redundancy - servers in multiple data centres, so if one data centre should be struck by a disaster, we move your email to another location
- State of the art data centres - secure, redundant power and redundant cooling
Many people also ask, but what if the internet or power at my office goes down? Well, you would lose email in those circumstances anyway. However, with hosted email, you can still access your email via your phone, or by tablet or laptop by using the mobile broadband hotspot in most smart phones. Alternatively, you could go home and have access to your email from there. Hosted email allows you to continue communicating and collaborating when your office goes offline.
