Resilient Exchange Vault Service (REVS)

REVS is an acronym for Resilient Exchange Vault Service and is a good example of synergy – the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. REVS is an approach to creating a highly resilient Exchange email infrastructure and it constitutes a logical combination of several of the products in the Assiette range.

NetApp hardware and software create a storage environment that is fast and available, easy to backup and equally fast to restore. Double Parity within the disc storage provides for RAID Arrays that can survive the loss of any two discs and SnapShot and SnapRestore applications allow for 250 ‘point-in-time’ backups of the Exchange databases to be kept on-line and available. When used in conjunction with the Snap Manager for Exchange and Single Mailbox Restore services this provides for Exchange server data to be restored in minutes and individual mailboxes to be restored with a simple click of the mouse. Enterprise Vault enables the Exchange administrator to keep the active database size to a realistic limit, which enables quick and easy tape backup, and provide a service which no longer requires the user to manage the size of their mailbox. It provides a solution to corporate governance, compliance, retention and discovery. Having secured and managed the data, Backup Exec System Restore-Server Edition enables the Exchange server itself to be rebuilt, even to different hardware if required, in minutes rather than hours.
