Infrastructure
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Ensim Corporation, the global leader
in hosting automation software, today announced that NaviSite, Inc., a leading
provider of application, messaging and infrastructure management services, is
the first company to launch services based on the Ensim Unify platform. NaviSite
was able to deploy hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2003-based services to its
customers within the first 30 days of selecting Ensim Unify.
Ensim Unify is the result of close collaboration between Microsoft Corp. and
Ensim Corp., to provide the first operation support system and a portfolio of
snap-in software for specific hosted services, such as Microsoft Exchange Server
2003 and ASP.NET Web sites. A carrier grade solution, Ensim Unify offers a
common set of processes for resource management, provisioning, monitoring,
metering and self-management; and a single point of integration for existing
business systems, new services and emerging technologies.
"Being one of the first companies to offer managed Exchange 2003 is proof
positive that we are committed to offering our customers innovative services
based on leading-edge technologies," said Will Scott, vice president of products
and services, at NaviSite, Inc. "After evaluating other software solutions, it
was clear that Ensim Unify was the right product that would let us come to
market quickly with the robust provisioning and management features that our
customers require." Ensim Unify enables NaviSite to provide its customers with the latest Exchange
Server 2003-based offerings and a high quality of service. It allowed NaviSite
to meet its aggressive time-to-market schedule for Hosted Exchange, with minimal
upfront costs and risks. With Ensim Unify, NaviSite can efficiently deploy and
deliver a full range of tiered services with the opportunity to maximize on
revenues per customer.
"We wanted to be up and running on Exchange Server 2003, specifically its
rich-mailbox capabilities, as quickly as possible," said Craig Campbell, vice
president of engineering and operations at One Mind Connect, one of first users
of NaviSite's Exchange 2003 service. "We selected NaviSite's service to get
quick access to the features of Exchange 2003, but without the burden of the
internal support it requires." "We're excited to partner with a leader like NaviSite on their Exchange Server
2003 services," said Steve Dauber, vice president of Ensim Corporation. "The
combination of Ensim software and NaviSite's premium hosting services will
enable small and mid-sized businesses to benefit from leading edge technologies
far faster than has been historically possible." About NaviSite, Inc.
