This is done asynchronously, but in the same sequence as on the primary server. Adding text is a two-step process, as well, instead of the simple click-and-type procedure in PowerPoint. It means more time spent on e-mail maintenance than I ever had to do using a desktop client.
Although some admins may take issue with the absence of automated fail-over, the product is easy to set up and administer and offers a reasonable value. Two others, Cemaphore Systems MailShadow and Quest Availability Manager, protect individual mailboxes on one or more Exchange servers. These solutions are installed on your premises but managed and monitored off-site.
No big surprise there.
Every safeguard helps. This is done asynchronously, but in the same sequence as on the primary server. High-priority users can be replicated while others are protected only by backups, resulting in lower replication costs. Users must restart Outlook to reconnect to the backup mailboxes.
The suite also includes a management application that proactively monitors Exchange, looking for data errors or configuration errors that might cause problems. Transmissions to the data store can be encrypted as well, if the store is at an off-site location connected via WAN. Transactions received since the last backup are backed up before the restore commences.
Archiving can be driven by fine-grain policies, but policy is applied on a per-store basis.
Had I not had PowerPoint to fall back on, this would have been a definite Advil-with-Johnny Walker moment. Tight integration among these applications makes overall management easier and can also help prevent problems such as mailbox store corruption from happening in the first place.
Unless you already have an investment in other Neverfail clustering technologies, LifeKeeper is a better deal. Just deleted the whole thing.
Man, nothing makes your blood pressure go up quicker than trying to do work on the Web while on a public Wi-Fi connection that drops you more often than a Hollywood wife.
Which is least expensive will depend on how many users per server you have.
Transmissions to the data store can be encrypted as well, if the store is at an off-site location connected via WAN. This can be done on an individual basis or for all users on a given Exchange server.
The interval between failure of the primary server and starting the secondary server is short, about two minutes in my testing.
Both of these are highly capable browser-based e-mail clients, but they are primarily designed to run with their own e-mail servers.
Then it also had the wiki, blogging, and other collaboration tools that make the Web the bane of SharePoint. It also seemed slower than Zoho. Transmissions to the data store can be encrypted as well, if the store is at an off-site location connected via WAN.
The iRows toolbar and menu system had no support for creating formulas. Still, I decided to take a look at this category and try to combine it with suites of productivity tools rather than just straight teamware, blogging, or wiki providers. In addition, both offer integrated sharing, in which you can e-mail invitees to take a look at or modify your documents from a shared storage repository.
I observed the Outlook client experience when the primary server failed, as well as the time required to fail over to the secondary server.

This can be done on an individual basis or for all users on a given Exchange server. If the primary Exchange server is completely wiped out, a full replication operation will take place. For maximum protection, administrators might choose to implement a fail-over system plus the CDP that DigiVault provides.
