MailShadow® for Exchange Online

Easily synchronize and continuously protect your email, calendars and contacts to the cloud

Whether you're an individual, small business, or corporation, you can continuously protect your information without breaking the bank.

MailShadow® for Exchange Online (MailShadowX) continuously synchronizes onsite Exchange E-Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes (essentially all data) with Microsoft Exchange Online to enable always-on replication, instant recovery and seamless migration.

Cemaphore will also add the ability to synchronize between Gmail and Microsoft Exchange Online as an option to MailShadowX in the near future.

Real-time Synchronization

MailShadowX provides instant bi-directional synchronization for fast access and always-on protection of all your vital message information. Its unique transaction-based architecture moves data one transaction at a time and explicitly prevents transfer of corrupt information, thus maximizing fidelity between message stores. Each transaction is securely processed in real-time and stored on both your source and destination. The end result is that if your primary email system fails for any reason, it takes zero time to cut over. Your email continues to operate transparently even when your primary messaging system is down.

Unsurpassed Outlook/Mobile Email Continuity

Unlike other continuity solutions which force you to use another desktop interface to access mail during an outage or disaster, you can continue to send and receive email without leaving your Outlook session. You can also continue to access data from handheld devices using the Gmail mobile applications on BlackBerry, iPhone, G1, and Windows Mobile Treo devices.

Easy Migration

With MailShadow's bi-directional synchronization, IT departments can migrate users from one platform to another without imposing difficult knife-edge cutovers. Email data can co-exist on both back-end systems while users become acclimated with the differences between the two platforms. You can access data through both the Outlook and Exchange Online interfaces. Messages composed and any changes made in either interface are reflected immediately into the other back-end system. You can even have the Outlook and Exchange Online up side-by-side on the same computer and watch data changes in one interface appear on the other within seconds.

Robust "Continuity in the Cloud™" Solution

MailShadowX delivers reliable continuity of your messaging data by effectively maintaining two complete archives on both your desktop computer and in the cloud. Even when disconnected from the web, you can access your contacts and calendar by caching your online content in Outlook for offline operations. You never need to worry because your data always stays in sync. Installation is a breeze. You're ready to go in five minutes and your email content is immediately safeguarded.

All You Need is Your Computer

MailShadowX is a high-value, low-cost alternative to traditional email synchronization and backup systems. Rather than buying and managing your own backup hardware, recovery data center, or co-location facilities, you can leverage robust cloud infrastructure to carry out your email data backup. All you need is an account on Microsoft Exchange Online. Anyone who uses Outlook and Exchange can synchronize their email, calendars, contacts, and other data with Exchange Online, potentially eliminating the need for costly infrastructure.

What's more, since MailShadowX handles everything in the background of your local PC, users can continue to use Outlook with no disruption if, for example, the Exchange server goes down.

Who Can Benefit from MailShadowX?

MailShadowX is designed for use by individuals as well as organizations and businesses of all sizes. In a business environment, MailShadowX must be installed once per PC and mailbox. Once installed, the user interface requires no end-user interaction and is designed to run completely in the background.
