High-availability Exchange made easy InfoWorld TestCenter Review
May 12, 2006
"The obvious solution for bringing HA (high availability) to your Exchange server is to use Microsoft's own Exchange clustering features. Although Exchange's clustering is reliable and robust, this isn't an easy configuration to set up. It's also usually costly, not only in terms of additional hardware and software licenses, but also because it requires a skilled Exchange administrator. "
"In a large enterprise environment, it's likely that one or more senior Exchange admins are already on staff, so this approach makes excellent sense for customers of this size. Small businesses with 25 users or less, however, will probably get better bang for their buck by choosing an Exchange hosting service. And midsize companies that need real high-availability but don't have dedicated Exchange administrators on staff might be better served by a mixed approach, recently referred to as "mid-sourcing."
"... we very much liked the ease of use as well as the flexibility when it came to integrating the OneServer into an existing environment —- even relatively large ones. Because moving Exchange objects is accomplished using the standard Microsoft Exchange System Manager or other Active Directory management tools, things such as public folders and directory integration are readily available to Azaleos users."
"With an entry price three times higher but much greater growth and storage capacity, Azaleos is a better choice [than Teneros] for organizations with 1,000 or more users. "
