Mimosa Rolls Out DR Option for Exchange

Mimosa Systems
announced the Mimosa NearPoint Disaster Recovery Option, providing
automated disaster recovery for Microsoft Exchange environments to
maintain application consistency, integrity and uptime. Using the
Disaster Recovery module, enterprise users have the option of
recovering Exchange services to a local or remote Exchange Server for
rapid recovery in minutes, enabling immediate user access to Exchange
mailboxes and archive message data in the event of a disaster.

Email
has quickly become the mission-critical application for today’s
businesses. The cost of email downtime can be catastrophic to an
enterprise. A recent survey by Osterman Research found that corporate
email systems were down between 69 and 300 minutes per month. The cost
of email downtime is difficult to quantify for most organizations, but
40 percent of users surveyed estimated that outages would cost up to
$50 million, 27 percent said up to $100 million and 20 percent said up
to $500 million annually.

Dot Foods, based in Mt.
Sterling, Ill., is one of the United States’ first food redistributors,
linking industry manufacturers, distributors, brokers and buying
groups. Dot Foods offers 57,000 dry, frozen and refrigerated products,
plus equipment and supplies, to local distributors in all 50 states.
“With eight divisions across the U.S. our email storage requirements
are doubling year over year, and this places a large burden on our
Exchange environment,” said Eric Ellerman, network manager, Dot Foods.
“To keep pace with this demand, it was important for us to have an
information management solution to unify Exchange recovery, archiving
and storage optimization into a single easy to use solution. Mimosa has
met all our requirements with a “one click” solution to archive, manage
and recover critical Exchange information for business continuity.”
