Neverfail Announces Support For Microsoft Exchange 2010

Neverfail, a leading global software company specializing in affordable continuous availability and disaster recovery solutions, recently announced support for Microsoft Exchange 2010. As a Microsoft Gold Certified partner and a member of the Technology Alliance Program Neverfail's unique combination of data protection, monitoring and automation software can now ensure availability of Microsoft Exchange 2010 deployments alongside previous versions of Exchange and other business-critical applications.

The flexible nature of the Neverfail solutions complement the built-in capabilities in Exchange 2010 by providing a single solution for continuous availability with application aware monitoring and very rapid automated failover of e-mail and other critical applications that interact with Exchange ensuring business availability as a matter of course.

Exchange 2010 offers a number of new features, including new e-mail archiving to battle inbox overload, improvements for e-mail administrators, significant improvements for all Exchange clients and more flexible deployment options. To protect businesses against the impact of e-mail downtime, Neverfail has extended its award winning and proven solution to provide continuous availability of Exchange 2010. The software monitors, automates and protects against both unexpected as well as planned outages of Exchange implementations across physical and virtual servers. In addition, it is the only integrated solution that can keep Exchange users productive even when related software applications go down.

"Microsoft Exchange 2010 introduces many significant changes. We have worked closely with Microsoft to support this new platform from the beginning so that our customers and other organizations can continue to benefit from a consistent approach to high availability and disaster recovery across multiple applications," said Andrew Barnes, senior vice president of corporate development for Neverfail. "Today businesses rely on e-mail as a conduit for information flow from many sources including applications based on SQL, SharePoint, mobile and file content. When you are counting on critical applications to operate your business, you need consistency. Neverfail has been available to protect Exchange users around the world many years. We continue to do the same for Exchange 2010 users."

Neverfail's technology provides a single business continuity solution protecting Exchange 2010, 2007, 2003 and other applications by replicating data in real-time to standby secondary and optional tertiary servers. It then monitors the performance and availability of the entire deployment environment including related applications such as anti-virus, BlackBerry Enterprise Server or protection of Exchange ActiveSync for Windows Mobile. Where issues in the operating system, hardware component, software application or somewhere within the network make an outage unavoidable, Neverfail detects this and provides an automatic or manually controlled switchover, without requiring changes to active directory, to keep the business running. As connections and services are transferred, users do not experience any loss of availability.

The solution delivers a number of unique features that complement Exchange 2010, including:

• Integrated high availability and disaster recovery in a single solution for fully coordinated failover of e-mail and related applications.
• One click switch-back – database re-seeding can be avoided thus preventing any user downtime and greatly simplifying the administration process.
• Automated monitoring of Exchange and the underlying infrastructure integrated with failover for maximum protection against business downtime.
• Integrated de-dup based WAN Acceleration reducing bandwidth loads by up to 30X when implementing remote disaster recovery sites. Administrators can avoid upgrading bandwidth links with Neverfail.
• Supports Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2003, ensuring email continuity across the organization.
• Supports Windows Server 2008 Standard and Enterprise as well as Windows Server 2003.
• Minimum deployment requirements of just two servers, reducing hardware, software and operating system licensing costs.
• Disaster recovery for existing Exchange clusters with full support for virtualization.

Neverfail for Exchange 2010 is available immediately.
