Ceryx is a Finalist for Advanced Infrastructure Solution of the Year in Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards
Ceryx announced that it has been selected as a finalist in the Solution Awards for Advanced Infrastructure Solution of the Year at the 2006 Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards. The fourth annual Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards acknowledge the exceptional work technology partners in Canada are doing with Microsoft-based technologies and software to deliver innovative solutions and unmatched value to their customers.
"Each year, technology partners continue to raise the bar in technology innovation and reaffirm their ability to deliver specific solutions that help meet customer demand," said Lora Gernon, Director, Partner Group, Microsoft Canada Co. "The 2006 finalists demonstrated strong expertise in a diversity of markets and the Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards celebrate the innovative solutions they developed to help drive real business growth."
Ceryx was chosen as a finalist in Solution Awards for Advanced Infrastructure Solution of the Year for their highly available Hosted and Managed Exchange services. Ceryx pioneered the 100% SLA to the Exchange messaging community and to date is the only company with the technology capable of backing up the guarantee.
Email is the most mission critical business tool for communications with employees, vendors and customers. Ceryx responded to this need by creating a system that offered unparalleled uptime and performance capable of withstanding any type of disaster coupled with an integrated, industry leading solution for controlling spam and virus threats.
Ceryx built a Hosted Exchange 2003 (HX) infrastructure that is fully geographically redundant with no single point of failure that could affect the customer's ability to use their messaging or collaboration platform. Ceryx has incorporated unsurpassed levels of security into the solution to ensure that all malicious activity is barred from entry at the geographically redundant perimeter. Customers have benefited from the solution by substantially higher availability than a traditional clustered Exchange infrastructure at considerably lower operational cost. Partnering with Ceryx has given customers the opportunity to receive quality and highly available email, hygiene, real time business continuity and disaster recovery services from a single vendor at one low monthly cost per user.
"We are very pleased to be an Impact Awards finalist for the Advanced Infrastructure Solution of the Year. We consider this an honor and credit to our customers for whom we have been delivering highly available messaging and collaboration services. Email and messaging services are critical for their business, we understand that and think we have the best solution in this market space," said Gus Harsfai, President and CEO of Ceryx.
Ceryx, along with other technology partner winners and finalists in each of the award categories, will be honored at a gala event in Toronto on November 2, 2006.
