The software vendor just issued the service pack to its OEMs, which means the capability will be available in approximately 90 days, said Marcus Schmidt, senior product manager for Windows Storage Server, at Storage Networking World.
The service pack enables the consolidation of files and Exchange Server 2003 data, permitting small and midsized businesses and branch offices to reduce storage costs and ensure business continuity, Microsoft said. The service pack also makes maximum use of networked storage resources and simplifies messaging management, the vendor added.
Storactive Inc. debuted LiveServ for Exchange, a continuous backup and zero-data loss software, ensuring availability and business continuance on Monday at SNW.
Unlike traditional tape-based backup, LiveServ recovers data up to the moment of loss. Its disk-to-disk backup enables fast, transparent protection and captures every version of every brick, for example an e-mail message, schedule update, contact or specific note, so that any version can be recovered. LiveServ requires no storage architecture overhaul and complements existing backup applications, the vendor said in a statement.
