SaaS has really become a new business reality that makes a lot of sense. Microsoft has a lot of partners also offering this Hosted Exchangeservice. I personally use SherWebformy Exchange Hosting and Blackberry Hosting. They have been great.

[...] Ozzieは、クラウドコンピューティングサービスと自前のデータソリューションの両方を提供できる点で、Microsoftは最適の位置に付けていると言葉を次ぐ。とりわけ、同社のクラウドコンピューティングプラットホームMicrosoft Azure,（年内にリリースの予定）が、そのクラウドサイドを支える。Ozzieの予想では、クラウドコンピューティングはとくに、ExchangeやSharePointといった、MS Officeをサポートするサーバプログラムで威力を発揮するだろう。 [...]

I’m not very sure what exactly this service can do . Is this a multi-function hosting service?

Way to go Microsoft! It's great that big companies fight for the market share and consumer benefits in the end. We have used Microsoft's reseller's version of hosted Exchange. They offer 24x7 US based support for a higher price than Microsoft Online's licenses. I prefer the hosted version so far as we don't need to have an in-house admin to check on it when things break.

how good the product is will unfold only over the next few months as people test it and review it. this is certainly not new though, companies like http://www.hyperoffice.com have been offering the exact same set of services for years – exchange alternative + sharepoint alternative + web conferencing. their product i know works across Mac, Pc and mobile browsers.

@Mark: great point – the hosting / premsis mix here is very interesting in the way it works and the technology they have wrapped around it so that admin is easy. Not only that, but Exchange is just a much much better product, Google are probably 5% of the way there, if that

@Ashutosh: you can trial it now, but it is going live in Q4 of this year.

@Nimit: you are probably better off talking to one of the current providers and asking them about a charity discount

ERP Guru – you’re right that many large companies are concerned about having their important corporate data – either in email or hosted on Sharepoint sites – up ‘in the cloud.’ The nice thing for MSFT is that they can offer their customers a choice – hosted or on-premises. Contrast that with Google… Also, Microsoft has been doing enterprise business for a long time. They have many many enterprise customers who trust them as a key business partner. My guess is that some companies may be willing to have Microsoft host their mail and Sharepoint sites but would be leery of Google given Google’s busieness model is all about data mining. Just speculation on my part.

We are non profit organization and currently using third party POP email and looking out for low cost fully functional exchange 2007 provider. We have looked at one of the MS Gold partner name 123hosting and we have not signed up any contract yet but in the stage of making some decision on it.

Google Apps offers special prize and free offer to Non profit organization but we are looking for fully functional exchange 2007 along with shared calendar functionality or so and like to know of Microsoft has any special prize or free deal for Qualified Nonprofit organization. We are 5013c.

If not we like to know if there is any special prize with this news. We are about 25 users and we have received quote for about $300\month which is about $20 per user per month.

Your reply will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nimit Shah

@4. I asked them about API access to hosted objects or data containers, and so far its just Exchange itself. They hinted its heading that way (especially around Dynamics)

Although going SaaS is always a smart thing to do if you ask me, Microsoft keeps doing thing the wrong way. The right thing for them would have been to offer SaaS exchange and open it up to developers through an API that will let them extend exchange to places the smart people in Redmond can’t even imagine.
Also, As you mentioned, Exchange is very strong in the enterprise, but I am still not convinced that the largest companies in the world are ready to have all their emails sitting in the cloud. Imagine being able to intercept the Coca-Cola secret ingredient because one of the engineers forgot that this is a hosted application and you REALLY have to pay attention to security issues… But we shouldn’t worry about that, should we??
