In today’s competitive global business environment, email has emerged as one of the most critical business applications required for success. Email is used both internally and externally to conduct business, frequently in a 24x7 environ­ment. When email is not available, business can virtually come to a halt.

Keeping email available around the clock is now a critical priority for many busi­nesses. Downtime cannot be tolerated for more than a few minutes, if at all. It is no longer sufficient just to shorten backup windows for email—recovery win­dows must be reduced as well.

But keeping email highly available is only one consideration. At some time or another, a recovery scenario may be required, ranging from low-impact — i.e. a user deleted an email or file that is needed, to catastrophic — i.e. a bare-metal recovery is needed. Thus another, equally important goal is the ability to recover data not only accurately, but in a manner that minimizes downtime. Recovery time can be one of the largest contributors to the duration of the overall out­age. Thus, the ability to recover/restore data is quickly becoming a requirement, instead of just a ‘nice to have’.
