Proudly Canadian.

An enterprise server for the rest of us.

BACKSTAGE

Backstage gives you push IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync mail synced across every device at all times. There’s support for iOS, Android, Blackberrys, PCs, Macs, and even Linux. And there’s Backstage webmail for a robust web client you can access from anywhere you’ve got a web browser.

WHAT SERVICES DOES BACKSTAGE PROVIDE?

The Backstage calendar service gives you push calendars across all your devices. Every appointment and task will always be in sync no matter what device you use. You can send invites, share calendars, delegate, book resources, check availability, and even access your calendar via the web.

Like the calendar service, Backstage gives you push contacts across all your devices. Every contact is updated and synced at all times. You can create company-wide contact groups and maintain private contacts with ease. With server-based contacts, you’ll never go back to the way things were.

You can use Backstage to share documents and collaborate with the rest of your team on any platform or device. Your files are always available offline, and you can use whatever software you want to create and edit them. You can even share password-protected files and folders with outsiders.

Your data is stored and backed-up securely in a Canadian facility, away from prying eyes or corporate interests. Every Backstage subscription also comes with a dedicated help-desk, with a ticketing system and minimum response times.

Got Macs, iPhones or iPads? Backstage lets you configure them automatically with security policies, as well as accounts for email, contacts and calendars. You can also track and remote-lock or wipe stolen devices. You’ll never lose any important data, and cut down on I.T. purchasing costs.

YOUR FILE SERVER IN THE CLOUD.Backstage uses ownCloud as a file server. ownCloud is an open source software project that’s free to download and costs nothing to license. By using ownCloud, you can access your organization’s files from anywhere using a web browser, and maintain synchronized folders with multiple Macs, iPhones, iPads, and PCs.

Essentially, ownCloud allows you to access your entire company’s files in a Dropbox-like interface on the web. It also allows you to share files with internal users, or external uses via email links. ownCloud prevents organizations filling up their email sent boxes by letting recipients download attachments directly from the server.

ownCloud is built using open standards, and communicates using the open WebDAV protocol and its own native sync client for Mac, Windows and Linux. Implementing ownCloud will free your organization from panic of not having the files you need, when you need them.

FEATURES & BENEFITS✦ Access your files from anywhere using a modern web browser

✦ Access your files offline

✦ Drag and drop uploading

✦ Sync ownCloud folders with your Macs, PCs, iPhones, and iPads

✦ Control external links expiry date to prevent prolonged access

✦ Revert to and or recover previously saved versions of your files

✦ Achieve centralized file storage for shared corporate files and

for personal ownCloud accounts

✦ Allow all your corporate files to be backed up on the server,

ensuring safety and security, even if client machines aren’t

backing up.

WINDOWS CLOUD HOSTINGBackstage hosts Windows servers so you don’t have to. Many organizations rely on a Windows server for critical applications like accounting, business intelligence, asset management, CRM, scheduling, and production - just to name a few.

But hosting your own Windows server is expensive. First, there’s server hardware which typically lasts between three and five years. Then there’s the cost of Windows itself, and user licensing. Then there’s the cost of maintaining an Internet connection and network capable to serving the outside world. Last but certainly not least is backup, maintenance, and support costs which never end.

Backstage can host Windows applications in a fast and secure environment that’s backed up, maintained, and supported by dedicated professionals. Hosting with Backstage rids your organization of recurring costs for hardware, software, licensing, backup, dedicated Internet, maintenance, and support.

Configuration profiles allow each device’s key settings for mail, contacts, calendars, device restrictions and security profiles to be determined and managed by Torusoft’s Backstage virtual server.

Being able to control what users can and can’t do with their devices in a business environment is critically important. Even within a small business, a single individual can carry an incredible amount of corporate data with them. Simply put, the device that contains that data needs to be managed.

By using Backstage to manage each iOS and Mac device, you will enjoy lower IT support costs by making devices easy to deploy and update, and impossible to tamper with.

Ultimately, Backstage gives you the power to control your devices and contain your data. Mobile devices are the future of computing. Managing those mobile devices has to be the future of any business concerned with ease of use, IT support costs, and data security.

And so much more!

What you can manage and control on iOS and Mac devices is incredible. Get in touch with us to learn more about mobile device management.

Web Clips

Pre-configure bookmarks to appear as icons on your iDevice home screen. Makes for easy access to hosted web applications and popular bookmarks.

Email

Configure multiple ActiveSync, IMAP and POP email accounts for your iDevices. Set account types, login, password, authentication, SSL, incoming and outgoing TCP/IP ports and SMTP servers. Easily set up email so users don't have to.

Exchange

Configure multiple Exchange accounts for your iDevices using ActiveSync. Set the Exchange domain, username, password, SSL, ActiveSync host, amount of mail kept on the device, authentication credentials, and secure certificates. Easily set up Exchange for your users so they don't have to.

Profile Security

Decide whether users can un-enroll their devices from the Backstage server, removing their data. Backstage allows you to lock down devices so they can’t be un-managed without an admin password.

THIS IS WHAT BACKSTAGE CAN MANAGE:

WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT BACKSTAGE?

It’s simple.

Enrolling your devices with Backstage couldn’t be simpler. It’s just two steps from your web browser and then bam! just enter your password and your device is fully configured and secured. There’s no software to install and no messing about with settings and configuration.

There’s zero licensing.

Unlike so many cloud solutions, with Backstage, there is no user licensing. You can manage an unlimited number of users and devices. When your organization needs to expand, we turn up the dial and scale with you.

It’s scalable.

Backstage uses server virtualization that allows us to 'turn up the dial' as your needs grow. Because Backstage is built within a virtualized environment, we can migrate your company to more powerful hardware in minutes. This isn't a solution with a ceiling.

It’s Canadian!

Canadian internet and privacy laws afford greater security for your data. Google Apps, Office 365, Dropbox and other cloud services may offer similar features, but they’re complicated by advertising, corporate and government interests. Keep your data safe from prying eyes!

It saves you a lot of money.

With Backstage, you can save thousands by ditching Microsoft Exchange and migrating to the cloud. When you do the math, the cost of user licensing, or a single server hardware upgrade is equivalent to running Backstage for many, many years.

It’s cross-platform.

Backstage works on iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows, Mac, and Linux. You don’t have to use a web browser to access your files. You can use your preferred apps to create and edit documents, manage calendars and contacts, and check your email.♥

Device management:

$149 / monthBackstage pricing is really simple. You only pay for the storage you use. Backstage doesn’t have user licensing and doesn’t care how many devices connect. Your organization will grow; your licensing costs won’t.

Backstage is scalable. As you grow your organization, your Backstage server grows automatically. You won’t come up against storage caps, and you won’t need to ask for extra storage space.

We support net neutrality: Backstage doesn't throttle your bandwidth. There is no limit to how much data you can upload or download, and there are no penalties or higher rates if you consume more bandwidth. There are also no caps on per-user storage.

Switching cloud service providers can be a painstaking process. We take on this responsibility, and ensure that every email, document, calendar and contact makes it over. Our team will personally transfer your data. This service comes with a one-time set-up charge, which varies based on the size and complexity of your organization’s data. Our sales team can easily determine this migration cost with a free consultation. Get in touch!
