Exchange Service & Storage FAQ

How can AppRiver afford to eliminate mailbox quotas?

We have been protecting email for companies since 2002 and today deliver email for over 18,000 corporations located around the globe. This experience has put us in a position to understand email growth from a very broad view point. Historically, storage capacity increases by about 40% year over year, which is more than enough to accommodate our clients' growing email storage requirements. The trend toward decreased storage pricing and increased storage density enables us to eliminate an additional charge for mailbox storage. In addition, approximately 80% of email is junk. We have embedded SecureTide™ spam and virus protection on every server, which prevents us from wasting storage resources on junk mail that travels the internet as email.

What does unlimited mailbox storage mean?

Unlimited mailbox storage means that clients of our Secure Exchange Service don't need to manage user quotas or be concerned about billing surprises because of increased email activity. This does not mean that using Microsoft's Outlook and Exchange 2003 will work with an infinitely large email box - there are practical limits to how large a mailbox can be before performance becomes unacceptable. It also doesn't mean that a mailbox can be defined as an "archive" - which would be impractical and inconsistent with archiving requirements.

What are the benefits of unlimited mailbox quotas?

Until now, administrators have been forced to spend time managing and enforcing user quotas to make sure their company remains within its allotted storage space. Not only does storage allotment increase management overhead for IT staff, but users often run into frustrating situations when they are forced to delete stored messages to make room for new email correspondence. The unlimited plan from AppRiver removes the time consuming task of quota management, enabling businesses to benefit from the collaboration and mobility offerings of Exchange without storage limitations.

Why would AppRiver eliminate mailbox quotas?

The primary design goal of our Exchange Hosting architecture was to offer easy access to the rich email feature set of Exchange, while enforcing spam and virus protection, and making Exchange simpler for administrators. We met the goal of easy access to Exchange with our web-based Shoreline management interface, which we designed from the ground-up because we were unable to find a 3rd party product that met our standards for ease of use. We met the goal of spam and virus protection by embedding SecureTide™ for comprehensive inbound and outbound email security. The elimination of mailbox quotas falls into our goal of removing the complexity of Exchange. Administrators now have one less hassle to deal with when offering Exchange to their company.

The system prevents spam, viruses, worms, phishing scams, and other malicious code from reaching client mailboxes. SecureTide™ protection is NOT optional and ensures our clients have a safe and reliable corporate messaging platform.
