Increasing the Availability of Microsoft® Exchange® Server

Overview Electronic messaging is widely recognized as a quick, effective means for communicating and collaborating in the workplace. In addition to becoming as vital as a phone system, messaging systems have become a significant corporate asset, where both messages and file attachments are archived for immediate retrieval at any time. Organizations that employ Microsoft® Exchange® have come to realize that downtime is not just an inconvenience to the end user but also a crippling break to the workflow of the entire organization. In the 24/7 global marketplace, downtime of the corporate email system equates to real losses in productivity and dollars.

Recent advances in hardware and software have improved the reliability of many servers. Hot-swappable components and integrated RAID have dramatically increased reliability, but PC servers still fall short of many organizations’ needs. High standards of availability demand constant monitoring and the execution of best practices. This white paper discusses the importance of the availability of Exchange, reviews strategies for ensuring availability, and describes how the NEC Express5800/ft server and Availant™ Manager™ software affordably and effectively meets these needs.
