Product Summary

Google Message Continuity, powered by Postini, is a cloud-based email continuity solution for organizations running Microsoft Exchange email servers. By providing Gmail as an alternate, synchronized email system, Google Message Continuity increases email availability for your organization and helps users stay productive in the event of a disaster or outage of the Exchange server. By extending the reliability, security, and functionality of Google’s services to Exchange, Google Message Continuity allows you to:
• Develop a complete email continuity and disaster recovery solution for your organization
• Maintain constant email access for users round the clock, even if your Exchange server is not available
• Minimize the risk of data loss due to on-premise server failures
• Protect your email from spam, viruses, phishing, and other email-borne threats with built-in message security features
As a cloud computing service, Google Message Continuity requires no costly hardware or appliances, helping to produce a low total cost of ownership. The service is easily managed through a simple web interface and includes customizable notification and authentication settings to inform IT administrators during Exchange server failures. Since all inbound, outbound, and intradomain messages are constantly synchronized between Exchange and Gmail, Google Message Continuity also helps ensure that users can still access their email messages, contacts and calendars during server outages so your business can keep operating.
What’s more, users can enjoy Gmail’s full functionality during Exchange outages, including 25 GB of email storage, mobile email and calendar sync, and chat. After the outage is resolved, received messages and changes made to Gmail are synced back to Exchange.
Google Message Continuity also includes a complete set of email security features, so you can provide industry-leading security for your email systems without installing expensive software or appliances. This helps you block spam, viruses, and other external threats before they reach your organization, helping protect proprietary information that must remain confidential.
