Information protection specialists EMC have finally buddied up with the kind folks at Exchange Server 2010. The company has introduced disaster recovery and networked storage technologies for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.

The integrated set of technologies uses the e-mail server’s application programming interfaces(API), including Exchange’s replication interface. In using the latter, EMC has created a handy software utility that integrates synchronous replication into Exchange’s architecture. Cool!

EMC’s Replication Enabler utility supports the vendor’s RecoverPoint Continuous Replication and EMC MirrorView Remote Synch replication. In addition, EMC launched what it calls a Replication Manager, which creates, mounts, and restores “application-consistent” point-in-time copies of databases residing on EMC storage arrays.Finally, EMC’s AutoStart technology for Exchange 2010 provides application infrastructure monitoring and automated restart for the Microsoft software and other environments on platforms, including EMC’s flagship storage array Symmetrix and the company’s storage-area network disk array, CLARiiON.

The company has also introduced a series of consulting services for your users wandering around in the dark. Thanks guys!
