Amazon launches enterprise service that will compete with Microsoft and Google

On January 28, Amazon announced the new Amazon web service, MailMail . He will operate on Amazon Web Services and will offer corporate email and calendar services. The cost of the service is $ 4 per month for a 50 GB box. $ 6 is a comprehensive offer that also includes WorkDocs , a web service for storing files.

The service will compete directly with existing counterparts - Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps for Business services. As one of the competitive advantages of the product, the company claims the ability to encrypt its data, and in particular, self-management of keys for encryption through Amazon Key Management Service (KMS).

Another advantage is the ability of the customer to choose which particular data center will serve his data, thus reducing the response time. Amazon currently operates in 11 different geographic regions.

At the same time, the company promises that the service will be compatible with current Microsoft applications (Outlook and others) and existing mobile clients. In pre-use mode, the service is still running in Northern Virginia and Ireland.
