Deal done: Peer 1 has been signed up as a Microsoft hosting provider

Managed hosting provider Peer 1 has signed a contract with Microsoft to provide partners with access to the software giant’s Exchange platform.

The US-based hosting firm announced earlier this year that it was on the hunt for partners, having previously dealt direct with customers. Peer 1 said it would target its hosted Exchange services at SMEs at a cost of £7.50 per mailbox per month.

End users that sign up for the service will benefit from 3GB of storage per mailbox, which will be protected using McAfee’s software-as-a-service email protection tools.

Dominic Monkhouse, UK Managing Director at Peer 1, said: “It [the hosting package] is engineered to save customers time, effort and costs.”

John Zanni, general manager of worldwide hosting for the communications sector at Microsoft, said: “By offering hosted Microsoft Exchange as a service, Peer 1 Hosting is able to provide attractive IT options to its customers.”
