NetApp for Microsoft Exchange Server
 

Sophisticated data management is simple, cost effective, and tailored for Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2003. E-mail has become the most visible of the tier 1 applications. So if you depend on
Microsoft Exchange Server, the market share leader in e-mail solutions, you need a highly reliable storage infrastructure that maximizes data availability. The rapid growth of data stored using Exchange has led to a proliferation of Exchange servers, resulting in high storage overhead costs, underutilized server and storage assets,
unreliable backup and restore processes, and poor system availability, especially with direct-attached storage. Eliminating these problems requires an approach that focuses on simplifying and speeding Exchange data management, so that your Exchange communication infrastructure can scale with your business needs.

Network Appliance offers a comprehensive suite of integrated hardware, software, and services that enables you to migrate and consolidate data from multiple Exchange servers onto NetApp storage. Join the thousands of NetApp customers who have increased data availability and productivity while managing millions of mailboxes. Now you too can scale to hundreds of TBs and still reduce management complexity by using one consistent set of storage and data management capabilities.

 

Need a Reason to Choose NetApp for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007?

 

1. Increased productivity. NetApp storage solutions provide highly resilient and reliable infrastructures for Exchange Server 2007. The automation and ease-of-use free up staff to work on more strategic activities.

2. Platform flexibility. NetApp storage platforms adapt and grow with business needs. Add capacity, performance, and new functionality (such as tiered email archiving and compliance) quickly and easily.

3. Integration with Microsoft technology. NetApp management tools are integrated into Exchange Server 2007. NetApp was among the first to support Microsoft storage APIs, including Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS). SnapManager for Exchange directly integrates with MS Management Console for ease of administration.

4. Microsoft-supported platform. Microsoft recommends SAN storage for Exchange Server 2007. Customers are supported by Microsoft when using NetApp Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN products. The choice is left to customers, with the commitment that NetApp will deliver outstanding performance with both.

5. Increased asset utilisation. NetApp enables consolidated storage for multiple Exchange Servers, providing more efficient storage utilization, reduced complexity, and simplified administration. Since storage can now be expanded quickly and easily, the amount of excess storage purchased shrinks dramatically.

6. Greater availability. NetApp storage solutions deliver enterprise-class reliability and have advanced mirroring and failover capabilities. NetApp solutions enable rapid restores and instantaneous backups that reduce planned and unplanned downtime, maximizing access to data. And because backups are quick and easy, there is negligible performance impact to end-users.

7. Superior data protection. NetApp solutions provide near-instantaneous, automated, and low-overhead Snapshot™ copies, enabling more frequent backups that can be done any time, delivering better data protection and minimizing the risk of unrecoverable Exchange data.

8. Rapid and flexible recovery. Near instantaneous recoveries with automated log replay get Exchange environments up
and running with minimal downtime. Enjoy the flexibility of quickly searching for and restoring individual mailboxes, folders,
messages, and even attachments from backup or archive without establishing an Exchange recovery system.
