Azaleos, located in Redmond, WA, offers OneServer managed e-mail appliances for Microsoft Exchange, supported by OneStop Managed Services. We consider our team members to be Microsoft Exchange experts, but since e-mail solutions rely on so many different elements - hardware, storage, operating system, network, directory -- we find that we've had to learn much more than just Exchange.

While developing the first managed e-mail appliance for Microsoft Exchange, we discovered some very interesting items about Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007, Windows, the .NET Framework, and developing solutions to support highly available applications of all kinds.

While supporting our customers since 2004, we've unearthed some interesting tricks to optimally run a highly available Microsoft Exchange infrastructure.

This blog site is designed to share this knowledge with the world, and to collect additional feedback and content from others that can further support developers of highly available enterprise messaging solutions on the Microsoft platform.
