| New Version of Asempra Business Continuity Server Unveiled Asempra Technologies has unveiled the latest version of its Asempra Business Continuity Server (BCS), the only solution to recover Microsoft applications and data in seconds. The new BCS 2.7 release from Asempra provides new levels of scalability to support larger and consolidated Exchange 07 and business critical SQL applications designed for midrange customers. With this increased scalability, Asempra saves customers as much as $150,000 by eliminating the need to buy and manage multiple data protection and recovery products, trims operating costs related to application and data recovery, and reduces capital expenditures associated with storage purchases. Dan Bennington, IT Manager for the Town of Florence, Arizona, relies on Asempra's BCS solution to ensure that when a Windows outage occurs critical data and applications will be back online within minutes. The Town of Florence faces IT challenges common to all small local government entities that deliver 24x7 municipal IT services for fire, police and public works departments. The consequences of an IT outage can mean life or death if emergency services are hamstrung by extended downtime of critical applications. Asempra's BCS ensures that mid-market companies that are becoming increasingly reliant on immediate access to Windows-based applications and data can avoid costly and disruptive downtime or data loss if an outage occurs. In fact, it is the only offering that allows users to send and receive emails or process SQL transactions while the complete data set is being recovered in the background. With full support for both Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2007 the BCS 2.7 release is also suited for customers upgrading to Exchange Server 2007. The risk of downtime and data loss is at its highest when companies are upgrading or changing their environments. Deploying the BCS 2.7 solution before the migration to Exchange 07 guards against potential business disruptions during the process. As mid-market IT managers see their organizations increasingly reliant on key applications such as Exchange and SQL, storage capacity requirements grow at accelerated rates as well. Asempra's BCS 2.7 provides new capabilities to support customer data growth while ensuring continuous data accessibility and instantaneous data and application recovery in the event of a failure. It extends the BCS platform to new Microsoft applications with support for Microsoft Exchange 07, Windows File Server and SQL 2005 on 64-bit architectures. Additionally, Asempra supports backward compatibility with SQL 2000 on Windows 2003 enabling those customers to access the benefits of BCS 2.7 without changing their application environment. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
