MOGAS group is a global leader in applications involving gas and pipes, and a leading manufacturer of severe service ball valves operating in extreme industrial environments of high wear and tear. MOGAS has worked for over four decades and researched on techniques that could enhance industrial and manufacturing processes, and engineered a valve that lasts longer and performs better than ordinary values under similar settings.

MOGAS had a Zimbra email server that it had long planned to switch due to exceptionally high downtimes, delivery delays and bounce backs. The exchange server apparently had no or poor spam protection and spams often landed into inboxes. MOGAS had concerns surrounding data security and whether its mails are properly encrypted, and remained skeptical whether the disaster recovery service would ever run successfully, if in case the main system went down.

MOGAS’s experience with its existing hosting partner was mixed and it felt that the service was overpriced for the features and security, which was more or less missing.

MOGAS has offices in several locations and a huge number of emails are sent back and forth into the system. At any moment, at least one office is operational and there existed virtually no dormant phase, during which Cyfuture could have initiated migration of email services.

• MOGAS had a Zimbra email server that it had long planned to switch due to exceptionally high downtimes, delivery delays and bounce backs.
• MOGAS’s outlook towards the host was mixed and it felt that the service was overpriced for the features and security, which was more or less missing.
• The exchange server apparently had no or poor spam protection and spams often landed into inboxes.
• The expanse of the data was too huge to institute working DR measure, and firewall that its current host had installed was either too frail or just ineffective.

Outlook 365

A cost-optimized solution was then delivered as an exchange server hosted entirely on cloud premises, with Outlook365. The system was further added atop a firewall and internet security with sufficient spam protection..

Test/Deployment

Exchange servers were carefully mapped and tested multiple times to ensure that if ever bounce back occurred, it should be on account of wrong addresses and not due to exchange failures

Spam Filter

We further recommended that a spam filter be added to ensure that only work-related emails get through the exchange and irrelevant and promotional emails are filtered off and dumped right at the exchange itself.
