LuxSci Dedicated Email Services Provide
Each Dedicated Email Server client receives a package customized to
their requirements. All of the features listed here are available, but not
necessarily required. If you have additional requirements, we will try
our best to accommodate.
No Explicit Limits on number of users or disk space that you can
use, subject to what your server(s) can handle. You pay only based on the
number and type of dedicated servers and other services that you need.
A Complete Feature Set: You may receive all of the standard email hosting features of our shared email
services, including IMAP, POP3, SMTP, WebMail, Email Aliases, Email
Forwarding, Auto Responders, Address Books, Calendars, Security, Xpress
portal, and much more. See our standard email
service offering for feature lists and descriptions.
Complete IT Outsourcing: Our custom email hosting and secure WebMail software will be installed
on a set of dedicated servers. We will manage the administration, security,
backups, upgrades, and all aspects of these servers and the software used
on them. This aspect of our service is very similar to our managed dedicated email servers
offering. You do not have to have a technical staff on hand to manage
your organization's email.
Security: For the security-conscious organization, we offer
Secure SMTP, Secure IMAP, Secure POP3, Secure WebMail and other features to
ensure the integrity and privacy of your email. All servers are secured
by firewalls and access is restricted to essential support personnel.
Optional Spam and Virus Filtering: Our services can be combined
with our web-configurable premium anti-Spam and anti-Virus filtering
services. See our Email
Defense service. Alternately, you could employ our basic filtering
services.
Private Labeling: We can provide Private Labeling for the WebMail
interface for your users. This interface can look like your existing web
site(s) and fit seamlessly into your existing infrastructure. Read more
about our Private Labeling for WebMail
services.
International & Multi-lingual: Our WebMail application is
Internationalized. It supports user-level customization of time zone,
date and time display formats, and language. We currently support many
languages, such as English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Russian, Ukrainian, and Italian. We can easily add other languages should
you need them.
Unified Login: You have an existing web site for your users and
you want to provide email services to them. You would like them to login
to your web site and then be able to access their email without
re-authenticating. We have several ways of providing this capability.
User Synchronization: You have an existing web site and database
of users. You want to manage the addition, deletion, and editing of these
users from your web site and not ours. We have several ways of
implementing this database synchronization; for example, XML messages
passed from your site to ours indicating any change.
Server Infrastructure
Your email servers will be
located in a Rackspace data center in Texas, Virgina, or London.
Security: Stateful packet-filtering firewalls are standard on
all servers. We can also provide separate Cisco firewalls and intrusion
detection systems for maximum security.
Privacy: Your servers will have a high-speed private network so
that all inter-server communication is secure and fast.
Backups: LuxSci can provide several different levels of backup,
depending on your requirements. These include: nightly disk mirroring,
tape backups, off-site disk mirroring, and off-site tape backup rotations.
Load Balancing: If you have a lot of users or require
redundancy, we provide fail-over load balancing via additional servers,
fail-over load balancers, and a fast storage area network.
Network: Our state-of-the-art network is fully switched using
Cisco network gear and is engineered with full redundancy to ensure there
is no single point of failure. The network is multi-homed with DS3 to OC12
connections through AT&T, UUnet, Qwest, Time Warner Telecom, and SBC,
providing fast, reliable connectivity.
Conditioned Power: Power systems in the data centers are
designed to run uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power
outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS (Uninterpretable Power
Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. The UPS power
subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous fail-over in case the
primary UPS fails. In the event of an extended power outage, an on-site
diesel generator can run indefinitely.
Responsive Technical Support
Pro-active monitoring: we will monitor your email servers 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. Our experienced technicians will automatically fix any
problems that occur. If you notice any problems with the servers, you can
contact our support number at any time.
For standard support questions and concerns, our support staff is
available via email and via our online support ticketing system. For
emergencies, you can contact us via our 800 number 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. We pride ourselves on our customer relations. Read some of our client testimonials.
We provide detailed help and solutions for the use of our web & email
hosting services and software to your technical staff and your users. We
will also provide you with and install upgrades to our software and
operating system patches as they become available.
Dedicated Service Level Agreement (SLA)
We provide the following guarantees on your service:
Network Connection: We guarantee that the network will be
available 100% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled
maintenance.
Hardware: We guarantee the functioning of all hardware
components and will replace any failed component at no cost to the
customer.
Infrastructure: We guarantee that the critical infrastructure
systems, including power and HVAC, will be available 100% of the time in a
given month, excluding scheduled maintenance.

Listen to Our Clients: "What I really appreciate about Lux Scientiae is that the services are comprehensive, yet modular and easily configurable in small increments. This is particularly important on the non-profit site I have hosted there. And, if I need more, I can add it quickly and efficiently - I don't need to jump to a $99/month package just to add database support." Thaddeus Badowski, Webmaster of Pathways Gallery
