Each product can run either on a server in the customer's own building or on IronMesh's infrastructure. IronMesh said it built the suite because customers had no complete alternative: \"There were parts: a mail server here, a file sync tool there, each with its own login and none of them aware of the others.\"\n\nFive products anchor the suite, with thirteen more alongside them. The additional products include Gauntlet for mail security, IronSeal for email archive, IronView as a PDF editor, IronWire as a business phone system, IronMark for caller ID and IronLedger for accounting. Prices are published per mailbox, seat or machine, per month, in US dollars at ironmesh.cloud.\n\nMigration is split into steps that can be completed and checked before the next begins. Mail usually goes first, and Outlook keeps working against ChainMail. Rivet, files and documents, and IronHall can follow, and a business can stop after any step. IronMesh is built by ATS All Technology Solutions (Pty) Ltd and states it is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by [Microsoft](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000026e/microsoft).\n\n## Microsoft's 365 Business Under Scrutiny\n\nMicrosoft's Microsoft 365 business sits alongside other [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data) at akta.pro, including a June 2026 regulatory action in which Italy's AGCM opened an investigation into alleged unfair commercial practices tied to Microsoft 365 subscription price increases. The regulator claimed Microsoft bundled Copilot and Designer AI services without adequate disclosure and automatically moved customers to more expensive plans. Microsoft's AI business surpassed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate, up 123% year over year, driven by Azure AI services and Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption, according to the same records.\n\n## Earlier Microsoft 365 Developments\n\nMicrosoft ended Windows 10 support on October 14, 2025, an event PCMag covered in November 2026 alongside a discounted Windows 11 Pro license offer. In November 2026, AD HOC NEWS reported that Microsoft will end free student licenses in Europe by 2028, requiring universities to pay annual fees for services including Office 365 and Teams, with pricing tiers from $2 to $385 per student per year. A Microsoft 365 outage in November 2026 tested managed service providers, TMCnet reported.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
