![]() Cemaphore Systems Announces MailShadow 2.2 with New Automation Features, Broad Scalability and Exchange 2007 SupportMessaging Continuity Solution Protects Thousands of Individual Mailboxes and Restores Service in MinutesSan Mateo, California - October 17, 2007 Today Cemaphore Systems™ is announcing the availability of MailShadow® 2.2, the newest version of Cemaphore´s robust messaging continuity solution for Microsoft Exchange. To address the requirements of enterprise customers with thousands of Exchange mailboxes to protect, the newest version of MailShadow delivers management automation and a vast range of dynamic scalability, along with disaster recovery that restores thousands of email users in minutes. "Using Microsoft´s Outlook Exchange Transport Protocol (MAPI) and Active Directory, we were able to break key tasks and functions down into multiple parallel functions within MailShadow to dramatically extend the performance and scalability," says Cemaphore´s CEO Tyrone Pike. "As a result, a single pair of MailShadow gateways can now protect from 1,500 to 20,000 mailboxes depending on the email load." Supporting both Exchange and Outlook 2007, MailShadow can make Exchange 2007 migration risk free and much faster. Exchange 2007 support combined with a permanent mailbox failover feature makes MailShadow a great tool to assist with migration from Exchange 2000 or 2003 to Exchange 2007. By provisioning ShadowMailboxes™ on Exchange 2007, the Exchange administrator can verify that the new environment is operating correctly before making the failover permanent. MailShadow is already widely used across many vertical industries, including financial, government and legal services. A unique messaging continuity product which protects Microsoft Exchange content, MailShadow replicates transactions from selected mailboxes to corresponding ShadowMailboxes on a live recovery Exchange server in a remote location. The data is replicated and transmitted across the WAN by a pair of MailShadow gateways without the heavy Exchange server and bandwidth demands inherent in other disaster recovery solutions. In contrast to a typical disaster recovery solution, MailShadow is streamlined to protect only the mailboxes marked for messaging continuity thus minimizing the required resources. Other new features in MailShadow 2.2 include:
Optimized content scanning which allows a Return Point Objective (RPO) of only one to two minutes for thousands of mailboxes Ability to provision the ShadowMailbox capacity on multiple recovery Exchange servers even when the sites are served by a single pair of MailShadow Gateways Scheduling of the initial synchronization window, which is useful, for example, in assigning initial synchronization activities to nights or weekends About Cemaphore Systems, Inc.
