NEW YORK, 08/05/2003 -- XOsoft, a leading provider of Business Continuity software solutions, today announced that Kennedys, an international law firm, has chosen WANSync Exchange as the mission-critical Business Continuity solution for their newly migrated Exchange infrastructure.
Kennedys appointed Make IT Simple, a UK-based information technology integrator, to carry out a migration from Novell NetWare and GroupWise to a Microsoft Active Directory and Exchange 2000 Server environment. As e-mail is the law firm's most business-critical application, with a maximum downtime of no more than two hours permitted, a cluster was implemented to provide resilience against hardware failures. However, it would not provide sufficient protection in the event of corruption of the main data store.
Following a successful trial, XOsoft's WANSync Exchange was installed in the law firm's production environment, providing real-time replication between production and standby servers. In the event of a failure of the live server, the standby server could replace it (with all users automatically redirected to the standby server by DNS2). Alternatively, replication could be reversed, allowing data on the failed server to be recovered from the standby server.
"The WANSync Exchange solution chosen by Kennedys is the most advanced business continuity platform of its kind available for Microsoft Exchange today," says Gil Rapaport, Vice President of Marketing at XOsoft. "WANSync Exchange secures entire Exchange servers, backs them up and constantly synchronizes them with either local or remote replicas in real time. Should an Exchange server fail for any reason, either a local or a geographically remote WANSync Exchange replica will take its place to provide practically immediate recovery."
"All of the competitive products to WANSync were very bandwidth-intensive," notes Carolyn Lees, IT Director at Kennedys. "WANSync has performed well when required, is unobtrusive and requires little support during normal working conditions". She goes on to point out that "WANSync Exchange has been absolutely brilliant. It just sits there, does its job and gives us the extra level of resilience on top of the cluster that we need".
Alec Wagner, Make IT Simple's Head of Infrastructure Services adds, "Like many of our clients, Kennedys were looking for a product that would provide Business Continuity and increase overall network resilience â€" WANSync has more than proven itself the ideal product to meet this requirement."
