Email Hosting

Any company that relies on email for day-to-day communications can benefit from a premium email hosting service. At Pleth we don't believe you should have to manage your own hardware, software, and security services just to provide your employees with business class email. So instead, we've built an email hosting platform that allows you to outsource your entire email ecosystem. Plethware offers:

Application Suite Features

Get all the benefits that a hosted email environment has to offer, without the work and expense of managing it yourself. We provide a fully-featured back end control panel that is friendly enough for users without in-depth technical knowledge and detailed enough for IT professionals.

In the control panel, an email administrator can:

• Manage Services & Users
• Access All Services, From One Login
• Manage Administrators

Businesses are under more pressure than ever to maintain solid email archiving and retention procedures. Let Pleth, LLC be your partner in the search for regulatory compliance. We've combined archiving technology and cloud computing to provide the highest level of security and performance at low, fixed monthly rates.

Why do I need archiving?

Industry regulations require multiple avenues of protection from a simple backup plan to retention of detailed message header information. If your business relies on email for communication, you should know the impact these laws and regulations have on your email:

• Open Meeting Laws. Intended to promote transparency and open access to government records
• Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Gives greater access to government records, updated in 1996 to encompass electronic records
• Healthcare Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPPA). Wraps stiff penalties around violations of electronic data retention and privacy regulations
• 21 CFR Part 11. Imposes FDA-mandated policies for electronic records management on pharmaceuticals companies
• SEC 17A-4. Places stiff SEC-enforced rules around retention and access to records related to securities transactions
• Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). Addressing auditing and reporting for corporations to combat corporate accounting fraud
• Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA). Enacts regulations around data security in the financial sector
• FRCP. Sets limits around electronically produced and saved documents that are required as part of legal compliance

How can Plethware Help?

With properly archived and retrievable email, your messages are automatically retained and immediately accessible when requested. Offloading your archiving management to Pleth, LLC reduces internal server load, improves production server operation and saves IT resources. In the Plethware archives you can:

• Capture, index and safely store up to 9 copies of auditable email; including header information, body and attachment content
• Use full text search capabilities to find email based on message components in a secure web-based search and discovery interface
• Maintain original message integrity using WORM technology to assign date/time stamps and unique headers to safeguard against deletion
• Export to standards-based formats like .pst, .pdf, .txt and mime
• Gain unlimited storage with guaranteed uptime

During transmission and storage, your data remains secure and private. Plethware archiving provide you with:

• Top tier, physically and logically secure data centers

Mobility

With Plethware you can check email anywhere you have an internet connection, even on your mobile device's web browser. Every mailbox includes pull technology with on demand access to mail and personal information data on your phone.

Mail Protocols

Plethware hosted email supports all standard email protocols, like POP3, IMAP and SMTP. These protocols allow users to check and send email via desktop email clients like Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, plus wireless devices like BlackBerry, iPhone and Windows movile devices. All supporting documentation can be found on the www.plethware.com home page. This means you can always use your favorite email apps while using our services.

Spam used to be annoying. Now, it's dangerous. Last year, 75% of businesses reported virus infections from incoming email. Email is now the leading entry point for network threats like viruses, Trojans, and worms. Lost productivity from checking and deleting spam and the expense of rallying the IT department to fix and recover lost data costs over $20 billion a year.

Keeping the spam menace out of your organization is not an easy or cheap proposition. The software licenses alone are costly. Add to that constant maintenance to ensure protection against emerging threats.

With Pleth, LLC, you get exceptional support and affordable, feature-rich business email and the strongest threat detection structure in the industry. We combined the best of our threat scanning capabilities with industry leaders in spam and virus protection. Before a message enters your mailbox, it undergoes four independent, threat blocking scans. Maintaining this comprehensive level of threat protection could cost you thousands of dollars a month to maintain. As a Plethware customer, these protections are free with every mailbox you add.

If you've ever had your email service go down, you know how important uptime is. Businesses rely on email more than ever before, whether it's a "contact us" link on your website, emailing client documents, or gathering your team for a meeting. In fact, over 80% of small business owners consider reliable email an important part of their success. However, maintaining safe, reliable email service is no easy task. Just ask the 25% of business owners who experienced major email outages last year.

How Do We Deliver?

That requires vigilance on multiple fronts to guarantee on demand email performance every time you hit "send":

• Sending & Receiving - Using simple, scalable inbound and outbound mail servers, traffic spikes are efficiently spread across data centers and new servers are deployed on demand. All of this happens without a blip in service on your end.
• Secure Mail Storage - If a catastrophe wipes out your systems, it won't wipe out mail data. Two live copies are always available, plus a third offline backup. Messages are backed up daily and retrievable up to 14 days later.
• System Metrics & Alerts - Real-time monitoring tells us immediately if there's a broken link in our system before it affects your inbox. All day, every day we test mail delivery, server availability, and security. When a problem arises, dozens of experienced engineers handle the problem and plan to prevent reoccurrence.

Your email should be infinitely scalable. The ability to add or remove mailboxes, handle jumps in email traffic, and send and receive on demand are integral elements of what you get with Plethware. From end to end, we plan our systems to accommodate your usage no matter how big or small.

Whether you’re adding 1 or 1,000 mailboxes, Plethware has the system architecture in place to scale to your needs. How? Advanced software design and servers in multiple data centers feature massive amounts of excess capacity. And, you can add or delete right from the control panel.
