Azaleos Offers New Disaster Recovery Solution for Exchange, Upgrades to Exchange 12



Exchange Managed Messaging Pioneer Extends Offerings to Include Assured Backups, Easy Exchange 12 Upgrades, 99.999% Uptime

REDMOND, Wash., March 20 -- Azaleos Corporation, a pioneer in managed messaging solutions built on the Microsoft technology platform, today announced availability of a new disaster recovery solution, Azaleos Full Fidelity Disaster Recovery. In conjunction with this new offering, Azaleos is also upgrading its Exchange management solutions to provide a number of new benefits -- assured Exchange backups, onsite upgrade to Exchange 12 and 99.999% uptime for Exchange.

"In light of disasters such as last year's devastating hurricane season in the South, Azaleos recognized that disaster recovery is one of the biggest concerns our customers have," said Roger Gerdes, CEO of Azaleos. "Our new solution surpasses industry standards for Exchange disaster recovery solutions, ensuring complete dual-site data recovery."

The company says customer anticipation of the new solution offering is very high. "Recovery of the Exchange environment after a disaster is a critical issue facing IT today," said Lee Hudson, IT director for Zumiez, an Azaleos customer. "In our business, we simply can't afford loss of Exchange data. The new Azaleos solution ensures the Exchange environment is fully protected in any crisis."

The Azaleos Full Fidelity Disaster Recovery solution is enabled by placement of the Azaleos OneServer connected to a storage solution from Network Appliance at both a customer's primary and secondary sites. This configuration is then supported by OneStop Disaster Recovery services. The OneServer, a clustered Exchange 2003 appliance, is one component of the company's Exchange management solution. In conjunction with Azaleos' OneStop managed service, the OneServer enables 24x7 remote monitoring and maintenance of the Exchange environment, integrating patch management and storage management services.

The Azaleos disaster recovery solution ensures Exchange will be functioning within minutes of server failure, providing dial tone recovery to the secondary site where the OneServer is deployed. All data accumulated up to the last snapshot performed prior to the failure will be recovered.
