The hosted model is the most efficient way of exchange storage and archiving there is on the market today.  It offers lower up- front costs and a scalable pricing structure that is attractive to many companies.   Archive Compliance's Hosted Email Model is generally implemented for organizations looking for an outsourced, full-service hosting solution or those that wish to offload the burden of email management and storage.

From a customer viewpoint, hosting is a very cost-effective way of working.  All of the hardware and support of the product is handled by Archive Compliance, meaning a much lower IT footprint.  In these financially constrained time this is very important to business.  It saves time, money and building space as you don't need hardware or the support staff to maintain the service.  Many companies view IT systems as a necessary evil, not a tool to accomplish their goals.  Outsourcing as much as possible allows you to concentrate on your business without the unwanted distractions technology can provide.

Imagine seeing the end to seemingly endless purchase orders for hardware.  Never having to buy a disk drive again.  Being able to perform a backup of your exchange without having to factor in the extra time for archives and exchange storage.

This is the kind of freedom that a hosted solution can offer.  A pain and hassle free way of doing things which allows you to concentrate on running your business, not letting it run you.
