James presenting at the Kent SBS user groupNeil and I recently returned from sunny Chatham where we were kindly invited to come along and talk to attendees of the Kent SBS user group about MDaemon Messaging Server. This is one of a number of regional groups across the UK which include Manchester, Reading Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Each consists of like-minded IT support companies and managed service providers wanting to keep their "toe-in" with market and product developments, discuss some of the challenges they face in the field, and perhaps most importantly, help keep the local Dominos in business.

Over the last few weeks I've been experimenting with the latest Beta editions of MDaemon version 13 and thought it'd be beneficial to share some of the great new up and coming features you can expect to see in the release. Just before I wet your appetite with the first of them - don't forget, if you're interested in getting involved in the MDaemon beta test process you can apply to join the community by registering here.

MDaemon, Exchange or Office365?Towards the end of my last post I touched on the fact that Microsoft's recent announcement to drop Small Business Server next year has given particularly its partner community, reasons to look around at potential alternative solutions to Exchange. In this post I take a moment to highlight some of the reasons MDaemon Messaging Server should be on that list of alternatives you might be considering, including how the costs look alongside the equivalent Microsoft products.

Zen Software at Infosec We're but a few weeks away from the annual industry pilgrimage to Earls Court for the biggest of the IT and security shows in this country, InfoSecurity Europe. Each year IT professionals (and the not-so) gather at InfoSec to take in keynote talks from industry experts, strengthen relationships with customers and suppliers, keep an eye on the competition and of course, pick up plenty of promotional tat for the kids. This year will be slightly different however, as visitors will notice that the show's noticeably better than previous ones thanks to the addition of the Zen Software stand in the new exhibitor area. It's possible I'm overestimating the impact we'll have but in any case, we're genuinely pleased to be a part of the show and that we'll be down there unashamedly flogging our wares in our compact but charming booth (K94).

BackupAssist 6.4 headerFurther to my recent post about the Beta, I'm pleased to announce that we've put the finished version live on our site - so now seems as good a time as any to let you know what's in it... Key to the appeal of version 6.4 are two main features - the all new RecoverAssist console and the dedicated support for iSCSI destinations. Together they open up some really interesting possibilities. We've been putting version 6.4 through its paces as you may have picked up from some of Neil's recent blog posts, and as a result we're all really pleased seeing the direction developer Cortex are headed.
