Why you need a high availability solution
Sustaining high levels of system availability continues to be a key issue and concern for many organizations. 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.

Complexity
Directly addresses:• Data loss
Directly addresses:• Data loss• (Hardware outages)
• Only protects data, sometimes hardware
• Very long recovery• Just delaying outage
• Data stale / outdated• Very long recovery• Only protects data
Clustering
Directly addresses:• Data loss• Application failures• Performance• Hardware outages
• Shared architecture = single-point of failure
• No site protection• Very expensive• Very complex
Reliability - there is no competitive offering to address server reliability
