When looking for your next storage solution, remember that you need a product as dynamic as your Microsoft Exchange environment. You don’t have time to get caught up in the everyday Microsoft Exchange-related challenges around scalability, capacity planning, system availability, backup, performance and disaster recovery. While some administrators find themselves acquiring and implementing a variety of new servers or a new big-box SAN in their attempts to grow storage capacity, you can turn to LeftHand Networks for an iSCSI SAN designed to complement your Exchange requirements for the long-term. LeftHand offers a unique solution that scales easily as Exchange grows and provides you with a range of built-in disaster recovery capabilities that simplify everything from day-to-day backups to creating a master DR plan. With this white paper, you will learn how to: Configure a SAN that optimizes your Exchange implementation; Add storage capacity incrementally while increasing performance; Use patented SAN/iQ Network RAID technology to provide failsafe data availability; Geographically distribute your data to protect against natural disasters and human error.

The size of today?s hard drives boggles the mind. 40GB is the norm and disks ten times that size are emerging. Coupled with this surge in disk capacity is an explosion in file sizes. Ten years ago, the average drive contained mainly word documents, each a few KB in size. Now, multi-MB PowerPoints, MP3s and PDFs litter the hard drive. The problem is that drive I/O speed has not kept up the pace. As a result, it has developed into a serious bottleneck in system performance. Consider the facts: Processor speeds are measured in billions of operations per second; memory is measured in millions of operations per second; yet disk speed remains pegged at hundreds of operations per second. This disparity is minimized as long as the drive?s read/write head can just go to a single location on the disk and read off all the information. The huge gulf in speed between a disk and the CPU/memory is a severe problem when the disk is badly fragmented. File fragmentation not only lowers performance, it leads to a catalog of woes such as slower virus scans and backups, databases corruption and premature hardware failures. This concise paper discusses how fragmentation affects today?s larger hard drives and files sizes, what this does to the system as a whole, and how this crippling bottleneck can be eliminated automatically on every server, workstation and laptop in the enterprise using automated defragmentation software.

In terms of both volume and costs to enterprises, 2006 has been a record year for e-mail spam. Exponential growth in the amount of unwanted e-mail messages has validated CipherTrust?s prediction of the worst spam year on record, and 2007 will undoubtedly build upon the massive volume seen in 2006. Additionally, the costs of spam reaching organizations have risen considerably, to an estimated $170 per enterprise inbox. As long as sending spam presents a viable income opportunity, the practice will continue to flourish. Stopping spammers from sending their junk mail is not the ultimate goal, as it is unlikely that the spammers will simply give up their craft; the true goal is to stop their unwanted messages from ever reaching your mail servers. Download this white paper to gain a better understanding of the spam epidemic, learn specific actions you can take to manage spam and its related threats, and understand the technologies CipherTrust employs to accurately detect and combat spam. The paper also explains the importance of an anti-spam solution as part of a comprehensive e-mail security plan implemented at the network boundary, as opposed to a piecemeal solution installed on the desktop or network.
