Great news on the way if you own a MailStore Server licence you've let expire...

Starting today, and through to Midnight on the 15th December, we're offering a 50% discount on the renewal of any expired MailStore Server licence key!

Perhaps a licence has expired as a result of difficult times financially?

Maybe it's simply been forgotten about during a rush to make the move to a work-from-home setup?

This is an opportunity not to be missed to get a major saving on bringing an existing licence back up to date and continuing to benefit from the security, productivity and efficiency gains MailStore has to offer.

The world of online data storage, and specifically email archiving, has changed immensely in the last few years.

When Exchange Online was announced on June 3rd, 2015, it promised a “truly bottomless archive”. So long as the necessary licenses were in place, Office 365 E3, Exchange Online, or Exchange Online Plan 2, mailboxes would never run out of storage.

At least, that was the initial pitch.

Unfortunately, the phrase “truly bottomless archive” hasn’t totally held up.

On November 1st, 2021, Microsoft has announced they'll begin enforcing a cap on their unlimited archiving to 1.5 TB.

In a perfect world, all of your MSP customers would have bottomless pockets. You'd merrily go about ensuring they're using the latest and greatest tech, and they'd never query an invoice. Unfortunately, that's not the norm and it's likely you're managing backups for at least one customer with hardware that's past its best before date. In some cases it can be more cost-effective to continue using older operating systems - but this doesn’t mean it's without any cost at all.

Has your team been painstakingly implementing best security practices across your estate to keep your customers safe and secure?

It really does feel like a very long time indeed since we've been able to entertain the idea of getting together at an IT event (or even wanted to!). We're in the privileged position where this now looks like it will be possible, and I can't think of any better event to mark our own return to meeting with real-life 3D people again, than the annual CompTIA conference held this year in Liverpool St, London.

Ransomware is right up there as one of the worst types of malware your clients are likely to come across.

Not only is there the risk of being locked out of computer systems or important databases, but there's the additional risk of public backlash and damages to reputation. 

As you'll have no doubt seen in the press - if the breach is large enough, ransomware attacks can easily become high-profile media events and the ransom demands can be incredibly tricky to manage.

If they do pay the ransom for their data, not only is it an admission of defeat, but it can also be a significant financial hit.

What's more, there's really no guarantee they’ll gain access to their systems again.

Once the scammers have their money, there isn’t anything but goodwill compelling them to return what was already taken.
