50 times more storage than the industry average

Each employee gets 25 GB for email storage, so they can keep important messages and find them instantly with built-in Google search.

Gmail is designed so employees can spend less time managing their inboxes, and more time being productive.

Time-saving features like message threading, message labels, fast message search and powerful spam filtering help employees work efficiently with high volumes of email.

Google adds free cloud “backup” to Apps, feature that reduces risk of data loss

Google offers a free feature called synchronous replication.

In its simplest form, it’s the process of backing up data within Apps to multiple data centers so that, if there’s a disruption, the amount of data lost or the amount of time without access to the data is minimized.

This is done through live or synchronous replication: every action you take in Gmail is simultaneously replicated in two data centers at once, so that if one data center fails, we nearly instantly transfer your data over to the other one that’s also been reflecting your actions.

Our goal is not to lose any data when it’s transferred from one data center to another, and to transfer your data so quickly that you don’t even know a data center experiences an interruption.

Google can offer this SERVICE FOR FREE because:

• It operates many large data centers simultaneously for millions of users.
• Google’s data centers don’t sit idly waiting for something to go wrong, the company can balance loads between data centers, as needed.
• Google’s high-speed connections between data centers allows it to transfer data quickly from one set of servers to another, allowing the company to replicate large amounts of data simultaneously.
