REDMOND, Wash. — Aug. 31, 2012 — Quest Software is simplifying how customers of all sizes move their email to the cloud with its email migration solution, Quest OnDemand Migration for Email.
The solution is based on Windows Azure and helps customers migrate to
Microsoft Office 365. By running the solution on Windows Azure, Quest
was able to give companies large and small a fast, low-cost, low-risk
way to migrate email to cloud environments.
Quest
recognized that many customers wanted to migrate their email messaging
from both on-premises infrastructures and other cloud solutions to
Office 365 but had questions about the migration, noting that several
email migration tools in the market were difficult to set up and
required the deployment of on-site servers for large mailbox migrations.
As a result, Quest created an email migration solution that could be
delivered using a software-as-a-service (SaaS) deployment model with
Windows Azure in which customers do not need to install or maintain any
software for the move, helping save time and money.
“We
wanted customers to gain instantaneous access to our migration product
via any Web browser and start migrating users within minutes, not
weeks,” said Ron Robbins, product manager, Migration Solutions at Quest
Software.
By hosting
its solution on Windows Azure, Quest can scale to meet its customers’
needs — from small businesses with hundreds of mailboxes to large
enterprises with tens of thousands of mailboxes — all while keeping its
migration service affordable. Quest’s pay-as-you-go pricing model, which
is enabled by Windows Azure’s pricing model, also gives customers the
flexibility to migrate all their users at once or spread the investment
over time.
To date,
Quest has migrated tens of thousands of email seats to Office 365 using
OnDemand Migration for Email, and does so with exceptional levels of
performance and availability from Windows Azure. Microsoft’s cloud
platform also gives Quest the ability to expand its global reach.
“We
can expand our markets because Windows Azure has datacenters
worldwide,” Robbins said. “Deploying our own SaaS infrastructure
worldwide would be cost-prohibitive, but with Windows Azure we can reach
new markets without infrastructure concerns.”
