There are many compelling reasons for virtualizing Windows and Linux applications. Virtualization improves server utilization by allowing you to run multiple workloads on a single physical server. It reduces the number of physical servers you have to maintain, while allowing you to use less physical space and power while still improving scalability. All of these capabilities translate directly into lower costs, less complexity, and greater flexibility in your mixed IT environment.

E-mail management vendor Azaleos this week is set to introduce an e-mail back-up option for users of its OneServer appliance. The option, which combines OneServer appliances running Exchange with network storage devices from Network Appliance, gives users a hot backup to a disaster recovery site.
The platform uses iSCSI connections and storage virtualization technology. A Network Appliance NetApp FAS270 storage device on the corporate network captures snapshots of the Exchange mail stored on a OneServer appliance and synchronizes them with the disaster recovery site, which also is running OneServer and a FAS270.
The FAS270 includes 1TB of storage, although it can scale to 4TB. It also includes built-in RAID for protection against data loss and disk failure, hot spare disks for fast failure recovery, redundant power supplies and cooling fans, and battery-backed RAM for guaranteed writes.
OneServer is a dedicated appliance that provides an active, passive, fault-tolerant and clustered Exchange platform for corporate messaging. The appliance, which is built on HP or Dell hardware, runs Windows Server 2003; Exchange 2003; and security, mobility and compliance software from third-party vendors.
"If you are going to have Azaleos provide you with the OneServer appliance and let them manage it, backup is a very logical extension of that," says Michael Osterman, president of Osterman Research. "Backup is absolutely a critical activity." Azaleos, which began shipping OneServer a year ago, is modifying its service-level contracts to change its guaranteed availability. It also is building its disaster recovery capabilities to mesh with the capabilities of Exchange 12, which is expected to ship at year-end.
OneServer, which focuses on fortifying the Exchange message store, is deployed within a corporation's network but is managed remotely by Azaleos.
User management tasks, such as password changes and message store limits, are handled by corporate administrators through a Web-based administrative console. OneServer includes Azaleos' OneStop Subscription Service, which does round-the-clock monitoring along with maintaining and managing the appliance, from hardware to patch management on Windows, Exchange and OneServer's third-party software.
