I totally understand the regulatory requirements you have - still, 100k is _a lot_. It all depends on the number of mailboxes and retention policies, but I'm positive there are solutions out there that are better than spending 100k.... I'm really not intending to turf here, but there are many companies that specialize in hosting complex regulatory services.
And this is different from Google how? Id much rather put my security in the hands of the best software company in the world with a stunning track record for security.
Apparently you missed the recent issues with the Chinese govt? That was only the most recent publicized breach they had.. No offense but if you consider Gmail's track record "stunning" I would hate to see what you consider awful.
100k? How many mailboxes do you need? 10 USD/mailbox/mth for exchange hosting....
I'm not trolling, but you do get what you pay for. If you want GMail and think it's good then great, but as you're already aware there are things you give-up for that $0.
This device really makes the iPhone on the Sprint network all but irrelevant, since it seems it will be available around the same time and has all the specs either equal or better.
As we are an SPLA partner, I can authoritatively say that when you buy the Professional OSs(XP Pro, etc.) you get the server CALs included with the OS for free. That means if your Dell comes pre-installed with XP Pro or Windows 7 pro you are all set on the server side. One more time: the server CAL comes with the client OS.
Now if you want an exchange mailbox, that is a separate license for that software product.
Wonder what Google is doing then as 90% of their revenue is ads... At least MS has a handful of significant revenue streams compared to the 1 google has...
No, 1TB of sata disks from best buy cost 150. Real hosting companies have costs like RAID, spare hardware for failure, techs to swap them out, techs to monitor them, taxes, liability insurance, etc. Plus good servers will be under-subscribed so the spindles aren't constantly thrashing.
The capping doesn't come from hard limits. Find an unlimited host, put up some legal media files then have the downloading go-to-town. They'll ding your account by:
- capping the transfer rate: what good is unlimited if you get 56k up/down?
- "Too much CPU Usage" - suspension
- "violation of our TOS" - this really means you can only host images and html files. read your fine print.
Disclaimer: I own a hosting company and have been at it over a decade. The tricks stay the same only the names change. One adage holds true: you get what you pay for.
in that they have a single-source of revenue. Discounting the pocket-change that they make elsewhere, take away google's ad revenue and they would cease to exist. Would the same be said of Windows and MS? Maybe Office or 360?
Bill gates and Steve Jobs are old friends and have been for the better part of 30 years. When Apple was near BK Gates loaned Jobs a _large_ sum of money in exchange for shares. MS and Apple have been in the sack for the better part of the past 3 decades.

yet on the other hand, everything google does is good for everyone.
spare me.
apache is a web server, not an app server.
Welcome to Marketing 101. Please take your seat...
Why aren't you asking why they weren't? They work at google for chirst sake! They should be eating their own dogfood.
Hasn't been that way for years....

Fixed that for you. Bring-it fanbois.
Thanks for the kind thoughts. Looks like some mods that "got it" came along.
Slower than a Cray. Less storage than a ZFS SAN. Lame.
... and that's not speedy.
It is for ThePlanet... ;)
Incorrect - Excel still maintains that title.

I see your XT clone and raise you my Amiga 1000.

The fact there was one.
You think IE would have used some protection.....

Gmail: Oops, no profit!
why did you mention those and not other products MS has already killed off?
