Ferris: Exchange reliability report
I get the Ferris RSS feed, and one of today's
posts is about a
report on Exchange reliability. Here's the Table of Contents,
which seem to indicate the direction the report is heading.
Table of Contents
Exchange Reliability and Its Impact on Organizations
Why Exchange Reliability Is Important
Key Trends and Observations
Exchange Requires Constant Attention
It's Very Difficult to Diagnose Exchange Problems
Monitoring the Environment Helps Alleviate Downtime
Full Redundancy Is Not Built Into Exchange
Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery Are Often
Tradeoffs
Important Questions Addressed by This Report Include:
- Why is unplanned Exchange downtime still a problem?
- What type of monitoring will help alleviate Exchange downtime?
- Why is technology for fully redundant systems still not available?
- Which is more important: a fault tolerant system or disaster
recovery?
Now think of what kind of responses you might see if this were a Domino report. Also take a look at some of the quotes from the report.
Looks like fun reading if you're not an Exchange admin, and a litany of reasons to leave Exchange if you are.
