Enterprises using this full-featured e-mail hosting service from HGC
can effectively lower total cost of ownership

Hong Kong, 15 June 2010-Hutchison Global Communications Limited ("HGC"), the fixed-line operation of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (SEHK: 215), today announced its partnership with Conexus Mobile Alliance, a cooperative association of mobile operators in the Asia Pacific Region, to deliver an enterprise-grade, full-featured e-mail hosting service aimed at businesses looking to expand their presence in Asia.

Connected via advanced fibre-to-the-building network
Service convenience for enterprise in the Asia Pacific Region

This innovative service is powered by HGC's data centre hosting services and a cluster of Microsoft Exchange 2007 Application Servers connected via HGC's highly extensive fibre-to-the-building telecom network in Hong Kong. With the service made available now in Hong Kong and other nine countries and cities with an Alliance presence, customers will be able to easily set up their e-mail domain servers in Hong Kong with mailbox storage options ranging between 10MB and 2,000MB.

"E-mail has been the bedrock of business communications for years now," said Mr Andrew Lee, Commercial Director - Wholesale & Business Market of HGC. "With emails being an indispensable tool to connect businesses worldwide, enterprises in the region would not only need a reliable, flexible, secure e-mail hosting service but also one that is easy to access and manage, and at the same time, has the ability to lower the total cost of ownership. With the launch of HGC's email hosting solution, enterprises in the Asia Pacific Region will be able to save the capital expenditure (Capex) and reduce their operational expenditure (Opex) on dedicated IT support, equipment operation and maintenance support contracts through using this service."

One-stop, full-featured email hosting service and mobility solutions
Furthermore, business customers will be able to access their e-mail easily while on the move via mobile devices supporting Windows Mobile or Microsoft Outlook and experience easy email account management via a simple selfadministration portal. This service also ensures customers an enterprise-grade security offering with its anti-spam and antivirus features, as well as a resilient service with up to four backup copies of e-mails in its two data centres.

HGC's e-mail hosting service is ideal for customers looking for a one-stop full-featured e-mail hosting service coupled with mobility solutions, for those switching from an in-house e-mail solution or those migrating from a non-Microsoft Exchange e-mail platform. With HGC's flexible features and plans to cater to a diverse continuum of customers, customers will be able to scale up their e-mail service at any time according to their business growth.
