Intermedia.NET, the leader in Microsoft Exchange hosting, is the first hosting company to commit to free Exchange 2007 upgrades for all customers of its clustered, SAN-based Microsoft Exchange service. The move makes it the first Exchange host to give customers peace of mind, knowing that their messaging infrastructure will be upgraded to the latest, most advanced version after its release.

Anyone considering hosted Exchange should ask, and is entitled to know, the roadmap for the Exchange hosting providers they are considering. As the leader in hosted Exchange, Intermedia.NET is the first in the industry to give customers the assurance they need ? that their IT messaging and collaboration is future-proofed with us.
Said Serguei Sofinski, CEO of Intermedia.NET, "Our pledge is an important one, as it demonstrates both our market and technological leadership, as well as our commitment to offer customers the very best in hosted Exchange service."

Added Sofinski, "Anyone considering hosted Exchange should ask, and is entitled to know, the roadmap for the Exchange hosting providers they are considering. As the leader in hosted Exchange, Intermedia.NET is the first in the industry to give customers the assurance they need ? that their IT messaging and collaboration is future-proofed with us."

Since 2000, when Intermedia.NET launched the first hosted Microsoft Exchange offering targeted specifically at small and medium businesses, the company has always been at the forefront of this market. With Exchange 2007, industry analysts predict an even higher level of outsourcing, as companies seek to focus on their core competency and not on routine IT management.

The new version of Exchange promises significant new features, including the prospect of unified messaging, with voicemail, instant messages and email tied together, plus improved antivirus and antispam, as well as advanced clustering to increase uptime and reliability.

All customers on Intermedia.NET?s Small Business and Enterprise MS Exchange hosting plans will be entitled to the free upgrade after Exchange 2007 is released, as well as customers on any shared Exchange hosting plans. The upgrade is expected to take place within a year of the release date of Exchange 2007 and will also include the option of a copy of Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 for all users.
