Google Apps launched last year and is now offering a paid model as many expected.

The paid model is called Google Apps Premier Edition and includes:

• 99.9% uptime guarantee for email
• 10 GB email storage
• Ability to turn off ads
• Shared calendar resources
• Mobile Access
• Administrator control panel
• APIs to integrate with your existing infrastructure
  • Single sign-on
  • User provisioning and management
  • Support for email gateway
• Email migration tools – Limited Release
• Online support resources
• 24/7 assistance, including phone support
• 3rd party applications and services

It costs $50 per user, per year, which isn’t that outrageous. Google is offering a free trial until April 30, 2007. You can go here to sign up.

Update: Just came across this story on FoxNews.com about this.
