(www.WebHosting.Info)   Parallels, a provider of virtualization and automation software, today announced that MESH-Solutions is using Parallels Automation software to offer business-class email based on hosted Microsoft Exchange. The company says that the offering is aimed at European resellers looking for a hosting partner that provides customization and branding of the Hosted Exchange infrastructure.

The company says that hosted applications give small and medium-sized businesses easy, low-cost access to solutions that were once reserved for large enterprises with much larger IT budgets and resources. Hosted Microsoft Exchange provides employees with access to shared company data such as email, calendars, contacts and tasks making internal and external communication more efficient and flexible.

“MESH-Solutions offers system integrators, IT consultants, internet agencies and resellers easy access to the growing hosting market,” said Nils Hueneke, Director EMEA Hosting at Parallels. “Leveraging Parallels Automation, the company can now create additional revenue and improve customer retention, without investing in hardware or technical know-how.”

“For most small service providers, it is too expensive to run their own 24/7 data centers. Using Parallels Automation, we are able to offer integrated Exchange 2007 at attractive price points,” said Claudia Gharavi, Executive Director of MESH-Solutions. “Moreover, resellers can easily customize the Parallels software to brand their own hosted services without the significant investment that is typically required.”
