Exchange
Microsoft Exchange Server is the leading messaging and collaborative software solution available today. Used by most Fortune 1000 companies and other enterprise customers, Exchange connects people with access to mission-critical communications - allowing them to produce the best results. Exchange provides electronic mail calendar functions, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and Web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
Dataram’s XcelaSAN is the industry's first intelligent, block-level Fibre Channel storage optimization appliance that provides high-speed access to frequently accessed data via dynamic caching and resource allocation for maximum application performance. It can help customers achieve higher performance in I/O-intensive data applications, including logs, stores, mobile messaging and virus definition libraries.
Rapid Growth
Challenge: As the number of Exchange accounts dramatically increases and I/O loads exceed the storage system capabilities, users may begin complaining about slow response times.
XcelaSAN Benefit: XcelaSAN optimization technology can provide the storage performance required to support more users and provide faster response times without changing the current storage system.
Costly Migrations
Challenge: Companies with limited resources may postpone an upgrade from Microsoft Exchange 2003 to 2007 due to the additional infrastructure and high capital expenditure required - thereby sacrificing performance and scalability.
XcelaSAN Benefit: Dataram's XcelaSAN optimization solution can provide increased storage performance and scalability for 2003 customers while avoiding the higher costs associated with supporting Exchange 2007.
Maximizing Performance
Challenge: Storage resources for Exchange Servers are allocated based on anticipated demand and estimated growth to provide optimal performance. During peak usage, however, users may experience longer response times as the storage array is unable to support the high I/O (input/output) load.
XcelaSAN Benefit: XcelaSAN provides users with unprecedented service and performance while utilizing the full potential of existing storage infrastructure.
