The findings of the independent survey carried out by Mimosa Systems at Infosec 2008, revealed the critical need for storage optimization, rapid information access, discovery, compliance and recovery.
Two-thirds of respondents lack confidence in their ability to completely recover their Microsoft Exchange servers in the event of a failure or disaster. Unsurprisingly, the research also found that business continuity and disaster recovery were one of the main IT drivers for implementing an email archiving solution. The survey comprised of end users, IT managers and IT companies discovered that IT departments in most UK firms were taking many hours to recover a failed Microsoft Exchange server, leaving most employees without their most critical business application for almost a third of their working day. Brian Bennett, managing director of Mimosa Systems UK, said: “Email has become the most pervasive business application of the decade, and Microsoft Exchange is by far the most popular choice for UK businesses. As companies put more and more critical data onto their Exchange servers the greater their need to ensure they have a robust and rapid recovery plan in place.”
