Sonasoft Backup/Recovery and DR

• Single Email recovery• Single mailbox or SQL data base backup plans and frequencies

to minimize bandwidth load• Backups are stored as PST files making it much easier to

search and retrieve emails• Failover single mailbox or SQL data base to test DR readiness• Both production and standby servers are in active – active

mode • Compares checksums in Exchange and SQL backups to prevent

replication of viruses or corrupted data to the DR site server• Hardware agnostic

Differentiators

All in one solution: Backup and Failover/DR in one appliance Appliance: Easy to plug in and install Intelligent standby functionality: Standby can be anywhere in the

world Seamless Failover & Failback process Allows for single mailbox failover Single e-mail or mailbox backup/recovery in seconds Failover can easily be tested at any time Maintains multiple servers SQL environment: One to One, Many to One, One to Many server

environments Exponentially maximizes the value of Virtualization

Replication: Features and Benefits

ArchivingChallenges, Desires, and

Pain Points

What is Archiving? There are 4 elements to email Archiving

Archive email / Store Data Compliance requirements Data Storage Managements

The ability to Search Stored Data Both for internal regulatory compliance and Litigation

support

The ability to Export Stored Data eDiscovery requirements as part of a litigation

request

The ability to Manage Stored DataRetention Management and policies

Organizations conduct almost 97% of business communications via email1

Proliferation of e-mail (40% annual growth) is driving demand for e-mail and storage data management solutions i.e., archiving

Employees are losing $120 worth of productivity every month trying to manage or search through their inbox. A company of 500 employees is losing $732,000 per year. If you are not archiving you are already wasting money

Approximately 93% of all companies are not prepared to comply with electronic discovery and litigation demands2

Small and Mid-sized companies are faced with the same compliance and e-discovery issues as large companies, but cannot afford the cost of large enterprise-class email archiving solutions

Executive Officers and Employees go to jail for not being able to produce relevant data or demonstrate management controls over their data and retention processes!

Data is everywhere Headquarters to remote offices to mobile employees

Inconsistent backup policies

Tier 1 storage for exchange is bogged down because the size of exchange is way too big

Backup times are taking too long

Increased data storage and management cost

Deteriorating Media (for organizations relying traditional backup as an archive)

30% of backups fail upon restore

Lack of Data Retention Policies while requirements continue to increase (7yrs to 21yrs to Forever)

40% YoY data growth

Data Management Pain Points

Unorganized data dramatically increases cost of Litigation

Discovery efforts can be VERY expensive for businesses (especially those depending on traditional backup)

Processing tapes can be as high as $1,200 per tapeData recovery on a single tape can be as high as $50,000

75% of companies are sued every year Average Cost per lawsuit that goes to court is over $1M The average US corporation spends $10.8M per year on litigation –

up from $8M in 2005 Microsoft estimates they spend $20M per lawsuit

Traditional Exchange Environment The value of SonaVault

Traditional vs. SonaVault

Can reduce email storage cost by up to 80%

• Faster backup speeds• Faster restore speeds• Lowers storage cost• Improved reliability

Traditional archiving and exchange environments involves the backing up of the primary storage to tape. The tapes are held for recovery purposes and typically become the archive too. Now this also includes DTD backup as well.

Second TierStorage

Data recovery on a single tape can run as high as $50k

By using second tier storage for the archive it maximizes the value of the archive by allowing for the extraction of information from the primary storage to the second tier.

The archive actually remains online and active and becomes an extension of your production environment, while reducing your primary storage backup and restore requirements.

Key Benefits continued

Transparent End User Access to Stubbed Emails Emails are accessed by the end user through Outlook without the need of

installing any application plug-in on the client’s machine thus saving IT resources.

Multi-Domain Archiving and Access One Archive Server can archive emails from users in multiple domains

(child or completely different domains). Users from different domains can be authenticated and login to the web console. This is very useful in situations where companies are acquired or spun off and operates as a separate domain and emails are stored on different Exchange Servers.

Continuous Email Archiving When used in conjunction with Sonasoft’s Exchange Replication product,

Continuous Email Archiving can be achieved without the loss of any emails after Primary Exchange Server fails over to the Standby Exchange Server. In ALL other solutions, failover server does not go online until primary goes offline. When failover server becomes online, archiving will need to be configured and during this time no emails will be archived. In Sonasofts case, the Standby Exchange Server is always online with a pre-configured archiving agent which will start archiving as soon as it takes over the primary role.

Key Differentiators of SonaVault
