The service, called MailShadow for Google Apps, is being pitched as a \u201cemail continuity and disaster recovery solution.\u201d In other words, it is intended to provide users of Outlook and Exchange, Microsoft\u2019s mail server, with a secure backup. As such, it represents an interesting use of the Google computing \u201ccloud\u201d to provide a service for Microsoft users.<\/p>\n<p>But the technology also would allow businesses to rip out their Exchange servers and run Outlook, which millions of users are familiar with, directly from the Google servers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are an I.T. guy and you can change the back end from Exchange to Google, and keep Outlook for your users, that\u2019s a really interesting proposition,\u201d said Matt Cain, an analyst with Gartner. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to see if it works.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other possibilities are offline access of Gmail boxes (via Outlook).
