What is the difference between Outlook/Exchange and POP?
POP email systems provide basic email. Beyond that, most include limited collaboration and communication tools; some include none.
Outlook/Exchange includes rich options not only for managing email, but also for managing calendars and contacts. All information can be securely and appropriately shared among users. For instance, users can schedule meetings, reserve conference rooms, create and post to public folders, and access corporate contact lists.

What is the difference between Small Business or Enterprise and Custom Enterprise Exchange hosting?
Small Business and Enterprise Exchange hosting customers both reside on a clustered server set and SAN with other Saratoga accounts. This is a cost-effective but also extremely resillient way for smaller businesses to access Outlook/Exchange's collaboration and communication tools.
Custom Enterprise Exchange hosting provides your organization with its own server. No other company's email will flow over it. This option is typically chosen by larger small and mid-sized businesses with stringent performance and security requirements.
In either case, servers are hosted onsite in the data center, where they are monitored 24x7 by expert staff.
