Storage

Each employee gets 25 GB for email storage, and with built-in Google search, employees can instantly find important messages.

With Gmail, employees can be productive by spending less time managing their inboxes. Time-saving features include:

• message threading
• message labels
• fast message search
• powerful spam filtering

Mobile Email, Calendar & IM

Employees can be productive even when they are not at their desks! Several options are provided for users to access secure information regardless of location or device. Google Apps is also supported via mobile access on the iPhone, BlackBerry devices, Windows Mobile, Android and many less powerful phones.

Reliability Guarantee

With Google's guarantee of availability at least 99.9% of the time, worry less about downtime and know that your employees will be productive using Google Apps.

Google Apps provides synchronous replication of data and activity. This preservation in multiple secure data centers allows no interruption of service if one data center becomes unable to serve your requests.

According to the Radicati Group ^[1], Google Apps customers typically experience less than 15 minutes of downtime per month. Compare that to a typical 60 minutes of unplanned downtime per month for Microsoft Exchange.
