Press Release Summary: Latest Software Technology aids growing Email and Web Hosting
firm in improving service to customers

Press Release Body: Warrington Thursday October 25th 2007. Simply Mail Solutions
have adopted the latest Virtualisation Software technology to allow them to grow
their service whilst improving service to customers and making more efficient use of
hardware.

Commented Colin Smith SMS Managing Director "To some companies virtualisation is
just about running more servers on a given piece of hardware. For us it was about
maintaining levels of service customer without the number of individual items of
hardware getting out of hand and becoming unmanageable"

SMS has adopted Infrastructure 3 from VMware, Inc - one of the hottest technology
company flotations of 2007 (NYSE: VMW) and implemented it on a batch of powerful new
servers from Dell.

Commented Keith Pritchard, Technical Director of SMS "The ability to leverage our
enterprise class centralised NetApp storage means that the virtual machines are
available to any of the hosts in a cluster. This gives us the ability to seamlessly
move a service between servers with zero downtime in the case of a hardware problem
for example. The high availability platform constantly monitors itself and all
services for any sign of a problem and can take immediate action. Of course,
services can be moved manually across the cluster for maintenance meaning no
downtime to upgrade memory or replace a card.

Keith added "The solution takes considerably less power than older solutions and is
a key component of SMS's ongoing commitment to a more environmentally friendly data
centre. This came at a good time for us and saved us buying a large number of
individual servers. The existing servers will be redeployed for services such as
DNS"

The company's main email hosting products are:
