For our original Exchange disaster recovery system using a SAN, we were replicating everything at a remote site, so we had to purchase twice as much equipment as we really needed. With AppAssure’s Replay, I don't have to have the same equipment at both sites. I can use my existing server hardware at the remote site and bring in newer, higher performing servers here.

E-discovery & Compliance
Lawsuits are a fact of life for many companies today. Recent surveys show that large companies can face hundreds of lawsuits simultaneously. Organizations with $1 billion plus in revenue face more lawsuits still. Would it surprise you to learn that e-mail plays a central role in many of them? It probably wouldn't.
According to surveys, the average company keeps 75% of its intellectual property electronically, in the form of e-mail. With recent changes in the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (FRCP), that e-mail is “discoverable,” and you are expected to produce it for purposes of common litigation. Compliance of this sort seems like a tall order, given the frequency of outages and failed recoveries, but it seems even taller when you consider the fact, recently established by Osterman Research, that when e-mail goes down 60% of employees use personal accounts for business transactions, rendering the discovery process all the more complex. The costs associated with failing to comply with e-mail discovery requests can easily exceed the costs of a complete e-mail continuity solution.
Replay offers an easy-to-use facility for recovering, searching, exporting and analyzing e-mail and mailbox content directly from any un-mounted Microsoft Exchange Data Store (EDB). When compared to traditional backup approaches, Replay dramatically reduces the time required to locate and save e-mails.
E-mail Message Discovery
With Replay, e-mail discovery is as easy as opening an offline mailbox store from a Replay recovery point, searching for the desired e-mails, and clicking save. Replay has the ability to save and restore e-mails, mail folders, or entire mailboxes to the original user’s mailbox, a recovery folder in the mailbox of the current profile's primary user, or a PST file. Replay can even search public folder stores. Detailed search wizards are available for complex searches, including attachments.
