Market Overview
Organizations today choose to save huge costs in electricity, maintenance and other hardware related operating costs, in addition to the actual hardware purchase saving, by outsourcing their IT services to a dedicated or shared service at a service provider’s site. These service providers commonly supply IT services to multiple organizations on one shared solution platform, also known as multi-tenant solutions. No more purchasing expensive and overkill hardware platforms; now all services are remotely supplied, providing the same amount of security and double the amount of comfort.

Managed Services Features
PineApp Mail Secure includes a Managed Services tab. The Mail Secure Administrator can manage this tab via the distributed permission role flow.
Once the Administrator has logged-on to the web management interface (using their email address), the tab will appear under the Statistics / Archiving menu.
New options have been added that allow the solution Administrator to create new administration users. These users will be able to login to the solution, administer their own domains and users, and create suitable policies for them. The Administrator has an overview of every reseller/company and can view the data that is available to the managing user.
The new administration users are able to add/view/delete/allocate users and domain to the solution without administrator intervention.
When a new customer is created, the below screen will automatically appear, allowing the number of users, domains and relevant module licenses to be specified, up to the contractual maximum as shown:
If this information is not input at the outset or needs to be revised at a later stage, it can be edited by clicking on the Managed Services menu on the left and selecting ‘Customers & Units Allocation’. Click on the ‘Units Allocation’ tab as highlighted in the below screenshot.
Then click on the green edit icon to the right of the relevant customer to reach the screen where the number of users, domains and relevant module licenses can be specified or amended.
The CYBONET licensing system providesthe solution owner (Administrator) a bulk license consisting of a defined number of users and domains that the solution owner can then allocate to his sub-resellers and partners. The reseller can then re-allocate domains and users to his customers via a tree based permission system, which allows users higher up the hierarchy to view the actions of those below them.
Example
The solution owner was given a bulk license of 10,000 users and 2,000 domains. He then created two resellers.
- Reseller (1) 100 users and 3 domains
- Reseller (2) 40,321 users and 150 domains
- Once created, Reseller (1) can login and start adding domains and users, or create a company-based user with domains and allocate a portion of the reseller allocation to the company users
