| Rapid recovery of MS Exchange LSI Logic announces the availability of Replication Express for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, an automated, disk-to-disk backup solution that enables near-continuous protection and rapid recovery of Exchange databases. Developed by the company's Engenio Storage Group, Replication Express (REx) for Exchange lowers email administrative and downtime costs while promoting business productivity and responsiveness. IBM is the first Engenio partner to offer REx for Exchange. Email administrators have traditionally relied on tape-based backup which can be disruptive to users, and manual recovery from tape can be a complex, error-prone process. REx for Exchange enables recovery to begin in a matter of minutes compared to hours using traditional methods. This is achieved by facilitating more frequent backups and storing them as mountable recovery sets on disk. The Engenio REx software leverages the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service to provide near-continuous protection of Exchange Server 2003 data. Using proven, storage controller-based technologies, REx frequently shadow copies Microsoft Exchange databases and logs according to administrator policies, automatically makes physical disk copies (mountable recovery sets), and then automatically verifies data consistency. Rapid recovery is initiated by simply redirecting Exchange to a desired recovery set. Since copying of the Microsoft Exchange database is not required before recovery can begin, REx significantly reduces recovery time. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
