EMC And Exchange 2010

With Exchange Server 2010 playing an increasingly important role in a business’s ability to achieve its mission, EMC is the first to take advantage of the available Exchange Server 2010 Replication API to expand its industry-leading business continuity/disaster solutions and provide new choices for Synchronous requirements and extend its leadership in Microsoft-aligned programs.

Today customers can confidently choose the right EMC solution tailored to the size of their Exchange Server environment and service level requirements including zero data loss and minimal recovery time options.

• EMC Replication Enabler for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 – A software utility that integrates synchronous replication into the Exchange Server 2010 high-availability architecture. It supports EMC RecoverPoint Continuous Replication and EMC MirrorView Remote Synch replication.
• EMC AutoStart – Provides heterogeneous application infrastructure monitoring and automated restart for Exchange Server 2010 and other environments on platforms including EMC Symmetrix and EMC CLARiiON, particularly those with geographically dispersed data centers. AutoStart continuously gauges replication status and maintains availability in the event of network, server, or application failures, offering both local and remote failover.
• EMC Replication Manager – Creates, mounts, and restores “application consistent” point-in-time replicas of databases residing on EMC storage arrays. Replication Manager now includes support for Exchange 2010 in standalone and native DAG environments.

“Exchange is a mission critical application for most IT shops and as such, application availability is vitally important,” said Ray Lucchesi, President, Silverton Consulting. “With EMC’s Replication Enabler and Microsoft Database Availability Group services, Exchange disaster recovery can be readily automated, supplying continuous email availability. Also, because an operator can control cross-site failover entirely from their Exchange Management Console DR administration is much simpler.”
