HEROware: email continuity

Hey All - this is Lynn Shourds, President & CTO of HEROware. More and more companies rely heavily on their email systems for communication internally and externally. Email has become the top of the priority list in terms of tier-ing out a company's most critical applications.


Companies have now integrated accounting, manufacturing, and business to business operations into their email systems, especially when it comes to Microsoft Exchange Server. Because of this, the dependency on email has become the life-blood of many companies throughout horizontal markets worldwide. According to ITSecurity.com, "...emails are not just for idle chatting, but can also be used to make legally binding contracts, major financial decisions, and conduct professional meetings."

So how should email be protected? There are three sides to this question. One, requires that you have a backup of your email so you can recover email from accidental deletion, modifications, or viruses. Two, demands that there be some form of continuity so your company can recover quickly and easily from an email server outage. And three, there should be long-term archiving of email for compliance reasons. These archives should be available for long-term recovery of individual emails, or whole email boxes, or entire email databases. Additionally, these types of archives should have the capability to configure legal holds in case of a law suit or other legal action.

Email is nice to have. When email goes down, everyone knows...especially the Executive Team. So do yourself a favor, make sure you're protected both from email issues and for job security!

Thanks for listening,

Lynn
