EHS Services Filtering, Archive, Continuity and Encryption
Microsoft® Exchange Server is a powerful email and collaboration tool that gives your company the ability to share information and work together whether in the same office or across the Internet.

^{Exchange Hosted Services (EHS Services)}

^{Updated: October 16, 2007}

^Overview

^{The Exchange Server(s) used by your company store vitally important data including email, contacts, and more, but it remains vulnerable to an escalating roll of threats.  Email born viruses and worms, denial-of-service attacks, advanced spam attacks, and the need to please a rising set of government regulations and legal compliance all make managing effective messaging and security increasingly difficult.} 

^{Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services for messaging security and management is a collection of four modular services that help organizations shield themselves from e-mail-borne malware, suit retention requirements for compliance, encrypt data to care for confidentiality, and protect access to e-mail during and after a disaster. The services are deployed over the Internet using a SaaS (Software as a Service) model which helps reduce additional capital investment, open IT resources to focus on other impeding IT initiatives, and mitigate messaging risks before they reach the corporate network.}

^{Behind The Scenes}

^{First of all, there is no need for you to change or modify your existing e-mail infrastructure, nor to purchase, install or maintain any new hardware or software.  The core of the EHS Services is a distributed network of redundant data centers located at key points throughout the Internet backbone. Each data center contains 100% fault-tolerant servers that are load-balanced from site to site and from server to server.}

^{Speedy Deployment and Easy Messaging Management}

^{EHS Services offer astonishing ease of implementation. There is no need for enterprises to change or modify their existing e-mail infrastructure EHS Services by Host Labs only requires one MX record associated with your domain name in DNS, which resolves to the Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services network, allowing the IP address of the corporate e-mail server to stay hidden from DNS lookups. This helps customers become invisible to malicious mailers because the DNS lookup points to the Microsoft network instead of their own network. Customers only accept inbound SMTP traffic from Microsoft, therefore closing vulnerability in their network firewall. An additional connection restriction locks down firewalls and allows e-mail servers to respond only to inbound SMTP requests on port 25 from the Microsoft network. This restriction helps prevent unwanted e-mail from being sent through a back door directly to the server’s IP address.}
