Sonasafe for Exchange Replication – Revive from Disaster

Sonasoft’s data recovery and business continuance solution for Microsoft Exchange Server is designed to meet your business objectives and budget. SonaSafe offers total protection and gives you the ability to be up and running quickly in case of system failure or total disaster. The application enables rapid recovery of emails to the point of failure without losing even a single email, calendar, contact and other information.

With SonaSafe, the replication is done at a mailbox level and it is very application specific. One can pick and choose the mailboxes that need to be replicated. One can set up a granular plan for key executives, sales and IT people, in which the replication occurs more frequently to achieve the required Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). For everyone else in the company, another plan can be set up where the replication intervals are not that frequent.

Another important feature of SonaSafe for Exchange Server solution is that the replicated or failover server is in an ACTIVE mode, unlike other solutions. The failover server can be accessed for reporting and monitoring purposes. With other replication solutions, the failover server is in a PASSIVE mode and cannot be used for maintenance, monitoring or reporting purposes.

Sonasoft's SonaSafe for Exchange Server is the only high availability, disaster recovery and failover/failback solution that provides both backup and replication as part of a single integrated solution. Typically, customers have to buy multiple solutions from different vendors to get similar capability. Also, it would cost three to four times more to get comparable functionality offered by Sonasoft’s SonaSafe solution.
