Google Takes Aim at Microsoft Exchange with "Message Continuity"
Today Google introduced a new service called Google Message Continuity, which Microsoft must be incredibly thrilled about. The service, powered by Postini, is described as a way to bring “Gmail’s reliability to Microsoft Exchange”.? “If you run Microsoft Exchange 2003 or 2007, Google Message Continuity is a new email continuity service that can help you ensure that your users never lose access to email during a Microsoft Exchange outage, whether planned or unplanned,” explains Google Enterprise Product Manager Matthew O’Connor. “By synchronizing your on-premises accounts with Google’s cloud, Google Message Continuity gives you access to your up-to-date email inboxes (through the Gmail interface) no matter what happens to your on-premises servers.

Maryland Educational System Embraces Google Apps
Much to the disappointment of students (and perhaps teachers) everywhere, a new school year will soon start.? But Google’s celebrating something related to education this afternoon, as it’s secured the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium as yet another Google Apps partner. Miriam Schneider wrote on the Official Google Enterprise Blog , “[W]e’re happy to announce that The Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium (MEEC) will make Google Apps for Education available to 1.4 million students in the state.? MEEC is comprised of the University System of Maryland, Maryland Higher Education Commission and Maryland Department of Education, and provides software resources and services to its 194 members across the state.” There’s more, too.? Schneider later continued, “In addition to Google Apps, this agreement also enables MEEC member institutions – for example University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) – to license Google Postini Services such as Google Message Security, for use with the existing email infrastructure to enhance Spam filtering and email security for students, faculty and staff.” So it seems that all sorts of people will soon get an introduction to a significant array of Google’s services.
