Storactive Launches LiveServ for Microsoft Exchange to Eliminate Data Vulnerabilities and Provide Continuous Email Server Protection

Storactive has announced LiveServ for Exchange, the first continuous backup and zero loss recovery software to eliminate data vulnerabilities for Microsoft Exchange Server. Complementary to existing backup applications, LiveServs disk-based backup overcomes the limitations of traditional tape-based products to protect data in real time and recover data up to the moment of loss. LiveServ provides rapid restoration of everything from a single email message to an entire data store.

MARINA DEL REY, CA (PRWEB) April 8, 2004 --- Storactive® Inc., the leader in continuous data protection technology, has announced Storactive LiveServ for Exchange, the industrys first continuous backup and zero data loss recovery software that ensures availability and business continuance for Microsoft Exchange Server. Used as a stand-alone or complementary solution to an IT organizations existing backup application, LiveServ does not require a storage architecture overhaul. By overcoming the limitations of traditional tape-based backup products to protect data between backups, 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 email message, schedule update, contact or specific note), so that any version can be recovered immediately from disk. Integrates with Existing Storage Investments to Reduce Backup and Recovery Windows.

Built for dynamic scalability, LiveServ captures changes in real-time, regardless of number of users or amount of data, thus removing the data vulnerability that exists between scheduled backups in a traditional tape backup scenario. Since LiveServ restores data from disk, not from tape, it provides quick and easy restoration of everything from a single email message to an entire data store. LiveServ also integrates with existing tape backup products making management of older Exchange data and the migration to Exchange 2003 easy.

With todays reliance on email, corporate users cannot afford to wait long periods of time for their email systems and data to be recovered after a failure. Downtime is money and productivity lost," said Jeff Drescher, executive director of marketing and product management with Storactive. LiveServs real-time approach means that the data within the protected email systems is always current and can be recovered up to the moment a loss occurs."

With LiveServs point in time rollback capabilities, downed Exchange servers can be recovered up to the point just before failure even if the Exchange logs are corrupted or destroyed. Its brick-level recovery enables instant restoration of individual data objects (for example a message or a contact) while the server is running. LiveServs recovery features also allow administrators to actually roll past the point that corruption struck, update anti-virus definition files, and then roll the recovery of the system forward, allowing for the surgical removal of viruses from within Exchange, without losing any data. Thus with LiveServ, administrators can safely and easily reverse the effects of viruses, hacking and other malicious attacks.

Storactive LiveServ is scheduled for general release and availability in May with a MSRP starting at $2,995 for the LiveServ Exchange server, with $1,395 per standard Exchange agent and $7,995 per enterprise Exchange agent.
