SBS Essentials Integration
SBS 2011 Essentials Integration
ExchangeDefender has partnered up with Microsoft SBS 2011 Essentials to give microbusiness clients
a way to centrally mange all of their accounts - Exchange 2010, SharePoint 2010, and
ExchangeDefender and have the modifications applied to their SBS Essentials 2011 Server.
Requirements to use ExchangeDefender’s Integration
•

Active ExchangeDefender Service Provider
Active ExchangeDefender Exchange 2010 mailbox
Functional, physical, SBS 2011 deployment (no virtual machines)

Essentials
• Ability to provide admin access to ExchangeDefender's Development team for deployment and
troubleshooting purposes.
All of the above requirements must be met. There are no additional fees, minimum number of users,
and no commitments or contracts required.
The overall experience will integrate the way your users already manage their ExchangeDefender
services (Exchange, SharePoint, and ExchangeDefender) and unify the account sign-on and
credentials across the systems.

Overall Strategy
Exchange 2010 + SharePoint 2010 is our dominant product - and SBS 2011 Essentials is yet another
brick that helps small businesses climb to the cloud for services that they don't want to manage but
keep their important data and backups local. By bridging the two we can reduce the amount of
maintenance and double-management happening between the cloud service and the on premise file
server.
ExchangeDefender Hosted Exchange now directly integrates in SBS 2011 Essentials for account
management, control, and maintenance. Built-in directly into the SBS 2011 Essentials Dashboard, you
can manage your ExchangeDefender cloud services and see any service alerts, service status, link to
the documentation and all the relevant stuff without all the complex things your typical user does not
care about.
The integration ties back elegantly into your Shockey Monkey portal which is already branded with
your logo, company name, your pricing scheme and backed by a company that doesn't compete with
you. The authentication isolates accounts and change management to the accounts owned by this
company and gives them the full management power without having to remember passwords or hop
from service to service, or site to site.
The integration makes account management very simple and gives the business the control they
want without the mess or complexity they don't want, don't need, and can't afford.
Combine all of that with the Outlook 2007/2010 integration between ExchangeDefender and their
desktop, Shockey Monkey back office management that gives you support and integration back to
your PSA, ability to link in your existing business model with a cloud service provider that delivers
seamless integration across Hosted Exchange, Hosted SharePoint, Offsite Backups, Business
Continuity, and ExchangeDefender that you need in the cloud where you call the shots, name the
price, and keep control of your client.
