E-mail Cluster


  
   

Cluster service feature that administrators can use to achieve continuous availability of server resources. Creating E-mail clusters primary goal is to partition the E-mail application data and messaging data in a way that allows for better fault tolerance and easier troubleshooting.

  
       
     
       
   

Benefits:

 
  Availability: Cluster service can automatically detect the failure of an application or server, and quickly restart it on a surviving server. Users only experience a momentary pause in service.
  Manageability: Cluster service lets administrators quickly inspect the status of all cluster resources, and easily move workload around onto different servers within the cluster. This is useful for manual load balancing, and to perform "rolling updates" on the servers without taking important data and applications offline.
  Scalability: "Cluster-aware" applications can use the Cluster services through the Server Cluster service Application Programming Interface (API) to do dynamic load balancing and scale across multiple servers within a cluster.
 
       
  Microsoft Exchange Disaster Recovery  
   

Many companies today lack a solid backup and recovery plan. Consider your own E-mail organization—what would happen today if a natural disaster or simple hardware failure destroyed all of your vital data? Are you confident that your recovery plan and your knowledge of disaster recovery processes are strong enough to help you recover your lost data? Even if you are reasonably confident, now is a good time to review your disaster recovery plan to ensure that you are doing everything possible to protect your company’s valuable data.

To prevent the loss of business-critical data within your E-mail Server organization, you must first develop and implement a well-planned backup strategy.

  
       
   

Benefits:

Software Replication
 

Host-based, real-time replication without geographic limitations
Replicating changes as they occur at the byte level over any shared or private IP-based LAN, WAN, ensures that changed data can be protected nearly immediately and that an up to date replica can be made available in an instant if necessary.
 

Automatic failover for uninterrupted service
In the event of a primary server outage - planned or unplanned – it allows a secondary server to stand in with the push of a button or automatically, providing maximum availability to end users.
 

Investment protection
Replication Tool runs on your existing server and storage platforms, with no capital expenses associated with purchasing new hardware.
 
       
   

Benefits:

Disk Replication
 

Manageable: Enables remote management of storage replication and Cost-effective disaster recovery solution for small to medium businesses
 

Security: Ensures storage is secure for accessibility

  Flexible: Allows multiple replication configurations, one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one
 

Application aware: Storage Mirroring can replicate storage written by any application
 

Data Compression: Data Compression during transmit allow for faster replication and reduces bandwidth consumption
