Durian festival is here! “Exabytes Durian Feast with Tech Start-Ups” was held last Sunday in Gertak Sanggul Fishing Village, Penang. Enthusiastic Exabees and tech start-ups shared their love for durians and other delicious fruits together in the beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Another Annual Sports Day for Exabees! In the early morning of 17 May, the upbeat Exabees were gathered at Penang Taman Negara to ‘conquer’ the hiking to Monkey Beach which took us around one and a half hour. Although some of us were tired and inexperienced, all Exabees eventually did it with their usual can do attitude. Upon reaching Monkey Beach, we were once again assured that all the sweat was worth it; the seaside and the view were extremely beautiful, a perfect spot for us to unwind and relax.
Exabytes Now offers FREE one year Business Class Email ([email protected]) as well as a FREE Company Domain Name worth RM200 for businesses & start-ups!!
What Is Business Class Email Anyway?
Business Class Email is MORE THAN JUST EMAIL and it’s much more powerful than free email services! It’s a one-stop platform for emails, calendars, contacts, files and more, accessible on laptop, tablet and even mobile device.
Increase customer trust when communicating using own company emails as customers are assured that the person is a true representative of the company, and not some phishers or scammers.
This is no doubt, extremely important especially when negotiating a business deal.
Avoid Losing Customers
A business that have own company email addresses will not be affected when its partner or staff leaves the company. This is because the owner of the business can access any email accounts and take over the tasks handled by the person previously.
On the contrary, if the above mentioned staff/partner had used his personal email account to communicate with customers before he left, conversation records and even business might be stolen.
Be Different and Unique
With unique company email addresses, a business can stand out instantly in a crowded marketplace.
Make the Business Memorable
Own email addresses make potential customers remember the business better and easier as they are unique.
Reputation & Professionalism
Create a good image for the company or business.

5th June 2014 marks a new milestone for Exabytes. Exabytes Designer Club (EDC), a community initiative program by Exabytes to target like-minded designers had organized its very first gathering for EDC members.
Experienced web designers, freelancers and even students turned up for this special event.
The event started at 6:00pm but a few enthusiastic attendees had arrived earlier to get themselves prepared for this exciting event! The crowd started to size up from 6:00pm onward. After completing their registration, participants were immediately served with delicious dinner prepared by Kaffa Cafe.
The event officially kicked off at 7:00PM with a welcome speech by Vickson Tan, the project leader of Exabytes Designer Club. This was then followed by the presentation of Mr. Hussin Khan.
It’s Mr. Hussin’s show time!
Mr. Hussin greeted the audience with a self-introduction. He is well known for being an Adobe Certified Instructor and the master trainer in HKVFX – Visual Effects Training, the Certified Nuke Training Centre and Adobe Authorized Training Centre based in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. In a nutshell, a highly skilled and experienced guru in visual effect and Adobe Photoshop.
It was a surprise to a lot of attendees that our speaker had contributed in many Hollywood movies’ visual effect production, including the very famous one that won the Best Visual Effect at Oscar 2013 – Life of Pi.
After the incredible self introduction, he started the ball rolling by telling us the latest Adobe updates and also sharing some amazing benefits of using Adobe Photoshop.
The atmosphere got livelier when Mr. Hussin shared special tricks which were incredibly handy and could make a designer’s life easier. The session became even more engaging as speakers and participants interact with each other during the process.
Soon the Q&A session followed. Next, it’s the much anticipated Lucky Draw!
Congrats to our lucky participant. Mr Tham Weng San who won a unit of power bank sponsored by Exabytes.
Finally, the event came to a perfect close. EDC’s leader Vickson was seen giving a complimentary gift to Mr. Hussin as an appreciation for his kindness in sharing with us his knowledge. Once again, thank you Mr. Hussin! We would like to express our gratitude to Verisign for their support to this event as well.
