White Paper Excerpt

Are you running an organization where your Microsoft Exchange servers are considered mission critical? After all, Exchange is one of the most used “filing cabinets” in today’s office, where meetings are scheduled, documents are shared and business is conducted. How much would you lose in productivity and revenue if even one of your servers went down?  Moreover, that same “filing cabinet” has to be accessible for legal reasons, thanks to Section 802 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires the retention of auditing information – including email – for a period of seven years.

Microsoft Exchange administrators need to know how they can protect Exchange data and recover quickly with the least amount of impact on their operations.  Few organizations can afford to try to recover from an Exchange failure using an Exchange resident recovery solution. Even a highly experienced administrator, rushing through page after page of instructions, will take hours, sometimes days, tocomplete a recovery, creating an unacceptable business risk. Hence the existence of third-party solutions, each claiming to simplify and shorten the process. But is there really a “one-step restore” solution available? And how fast can it back up and recover lost data or restore downed email servers?

Several automated recovery and restoration solutions compete for an Exchange IT manager’s attention. However, marketing claims and counterclaims confuse an organization’s ability to sort out their differences. This paper is designed to help you evaluate current offerings quickly and efficiently by applying the latest standards currently available within the industry.  Armed with this information, you will be better able to evaluate your options and chose a solution that works for your organization.
