Exchange has a high level or urgency for protection (Osterman
Research, 2003) 79% of companies accept email as confirmation of
orders, approval, etc. 53% of companies have experienced business
interruption or monetary loss related to email downtime 35% of
companies have lost email due to technical failure 60% of companies
critical data lives in email 56% of companies have no email
archiving policy or program in place New laws governing the
availability and archiving of email Exchange is everyones filing
cabinet SQL drives many CRM (Customer Relationship Management) ERP
(Enterprise Resource Management) Accounting, Sales Force
Automation, Order Tracking, Inventory Management, Technical Support
tracking Like most database management systems, MS-SQL stores all
of the data in a handful of database containers, or files. If one
of these containers is damaged or corrupted, all of the data it
contains could be lost. Why Protect Exchange & SQL ?

Disaster Recovery SQL Server Exchange Server File & Print
Provides an additional copy of the data Preferably in a different
geographic location Enabling data recovery at a later stage if
disaster strikes Dealing with less than critical servers where
recovery time can be greater than 24 hours

on different subnets Keeping the local users productive Recovering
from a resource failure (such as a server or drive failure)
Typically failover to an alternative server in a different
geographic location
Slide 10
Adding Local High Availability Replication within a single
data- centre/campus where the important identified data is
replicated, and replication to a remote location Many customers use
this solution in conjunction with High Availability for their more
critical branch offices
