The challenge: Provide for the high availability of Exchange data while reducing costs
Microsoft Exchange has become a mission-critical application. Studies show that a majority of business-critical information resides in message stores and that the typical Exchange user spends a significant part of the workday in the Exchange environment. IT administrators are challenged to meet stringent Exchange availability service-level agreements (SLAs) while managing a proliferation of Exchange servers and identifying ways to reduce overall administration and management costs.
The solution: IBM System Storage N series with SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange
SnapManager® software for Microsoft Exchange is a comprehensive data management solution designed to help you streamline storage management while simplifying configuration, backup, and restore operations for Exchange databases. Deployed in combination with N series storage systems, SnapManager software is designed to provide near-instantaneous hot backups and rapid restores to deliver a robust combination of availability, scalability, performance, and reliability for Exchange environments.
