“We're not in the e-mail business and we shouldn't have to be. With Azaleos, we don't have to worry about our Exchange system being up and running, and we can dedicate our IT resources to activities focused more on our core business.” - Rich De Brino, CIO, Compass Health More
Azaleos BladeMail Appliance Simplifies MS Exchange E-Mail eWeek June 15, 2006
E-mail storage management company Azaleos and its partners IBM and Microsoft introduced a new specialized appliance June 14 that aims to lower the operation and maintenance costs of the notoriously complex Microsoft Exchange e-mail server.
Azaleos BladeMail, announced at Microsoft TechEd in Boston, is a turnkey, stand-alone e-mail appliance based on IBM BladeCenter hardware and diskless blades supported by an IBM System Storage N3700 fabric-attached storage system, Chief Technology Officer Keith McCall told eWEEK.
BladeMail also comes with an ASP-like (application service provider) service that backs up a customer's entire e-mail process on its own servers in case of a disaster recovery crisis.
