Why you need a high availability solution

Gartner Each messaging [Exchange] downtime hour in a 500-person organization amounts to $8,600 in real productivity losses – costing more than $400,000 annually. Alinean 93% of all companies that experience a major loss of data are out of business within five years. Gartner When asked about their priorities, many people, without thinking, quickly respond that protecting data and maintaining uptime are equally important. Disaster-Resource.com
