Now, a lot of enterprises of some size, start to consider to build the enterprise post Office. Most of these options are based on the following conditions:

Enterprises have their own professional network management; Enterprises have their own servers; enterprises have access to the majority of fiber-optic broadband, enterprises just have one of the conditions or two conditions. Before this foundation, want to build up own enterprise mailbox, still have a long way to go, a lot of work to do.

Self-built enterprise post Office, the construction phase includes the following inputs: Mail server, operating system, mail system software, database, virus firewall, anti-spam gateway, broadband access, server hosting, to fix these needs of time in 1-3 months, mail system configuration, debugging success there are a lot of work.

Hard to build the mail server, but also a dedicated network management to maintain, each year to pay a software hardware upgrade costs.

Own set up the enterprise mailbox and NetEase Enterprise mailbox, 263 enterprise mailbox These big brand enterprise mailbox quality can not compare. The most critical, self-built post office risks high and maintenance workload.

Hardware failure: Common server has a single point of failure, whether it is from the CPU, memory, bus, controller, hard disk, network card, etc. have a single point of failure, any part of the problem will produce a system failure, all need a lot of manpower input, and cause service interruption (this is fatal to the mail system). and professional outsourcing mail service providers such as 21CN Enterprise mail platform using the complete set, multi-level, full redundancy without single point of failure design, just can provide a stable service for each user.

Operating system failure: Operating system as an application of the basic platform, but also requires a lot of manpower to deal with. The operating system needs regular patches, including Windows and Linux systems, which require users to keep an eye on the update of the operating system's Web site, and to keep a few patches in order to keep the system safer. There are two risks to patching, first of all, once a notice of the patch forgot to hit, it is equal to open a system on the opening of a hole that everyone knows, so that people can invade at any time, the second dozen patches when the machine needs to restart, causing the interruption of mail services, the first mail system is unfavorable. and outsourced post office operators generally adopt a multi-server cluster system, you can a server to play patches, effectively circumvent the patch restart of the mail system caused by the interruption.

Managed Environment failure: In any case the perfect shared hosting environment will suffer some unexpected failures. Including network connectivity failure, power and air-conditioning failure, the same group of machines under attack traffic congestion failure, the machine by DDoS and other similar attacks caused by the fault. The implementation of any of these failures is not an independent solution of the enterprise itself, the need to coordinate the custodian, and even the telecommunications side to coordinate the solution. As an unprofessional dealers enterprise, this coordination force is obvious.

Bandwidth environment failure: like the managed Environment, Enterprise's bandwidth control capability is also very weak, and is limited by the bandwidth environment. If you do redundant bandwidth, you need to pay a higher cost enterprises.

Through the above analysis, since the establishment of the Post Office stability, security, maintenance convenience, etc. than the outsourcing of the post office, in the construction costs, maintenance costs than the outsourced enterprise post Office high. So we can get a conclusion: the self-built enterprise post Office is inferior to the outsourced enterprise post Office. Of course, enterprises choose the Enterprise mailbox, or to choose the first-line big brand of corporate mailboxes, such as NetEase Enterprise mailbox or 263 enterprise mailboxes.
