MailShadow® 2.2, from Cemaphore Systems, to Debut at Microsoft Exchange Connections 2007

Exchange continuity and disaster recovery solution premiers new automation features, additional scalability, and Microsoft Exhange 2007 support

Las Vegas, Nevada - November 5, 2007

Cemaphore Systems™, the industry’s leading provider of e-mail continuity and content management, launched its new MailShadow® 2.2 Exchange continuity and disaster recovery solution at the Microsoft Exchange Connections event in Las Vegas today. MailShadow 2.2, with the ability to protect and restore thousands of individual mailboxes within minutes, is available now.

For enterprise customers with thousands of Exchange mailboxes to protect, MailShadow 2.2 delivers new management automation and dynamic scalability. A single pair of MailShadow gateways can protect from 1,500 to 20,000 mailboxes, company officials said.

The newest version of MailShadow makes it possible to migrate to Exchange 2007 (or from Exchange 2000 to 2003) much more quickly without the typical downtime, and makes the process seamless and virtually risk free. 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 widely used across many vertical industries, including financial, government and legal services. MailShadow takes a unique approach to messaging continuity by replicating 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 that are inherent in other disaster recovery solutions. Additionally, MailShadow is streamlined to protect only the mailboxes marked for messaging continuity, which further minimizes the resources required.

Other new features in MailShadow 2.2 include:

• Automated provisioning and de-provisioning of all members of selected Active Directory (AD) groups or by Exchange storage group
• 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, for tasks such as assigning initial synchronization activities to nights or weekends

MailShadow 2.2 is available from Cemaphore or through Cemaphore channel partners. Pricing varies with numbers of mailboxes included in the disaster recovery model required.

About MailShadow

MailShadow® protects your Exchange system at the transaction level by replicating selected mailboxes from multiple Exchange servers to one or more active disaster recovery (DR) Exchange servers. Using a service account to acquire message transactions removes the need to install any software on the Exchange servers. MailShadow uses transaction replication technology to move all Exchange content, including email, calendars and contacts, to the recovery Exchange server, and checks the integrity of all data prior to forwarding transactions. After failover, Outlook, OWA, ActiveSync, Blackberry, etc. are fully functional, and complete mailbox content is available.
