Azaleos today announced that it has packed a pile of new functionality into Version 2 of its OneServer and BladeMail Exchange-management appliances, including e-mail archiving, reporting, monitoring, and security functionality.
The company also has extended its OneStop Managed Services to support "the majority of IT requirements" for maintaining an e-mail infrastructure based on Exchange 2003 and 2007
"Azaleos has delivered an end-to-end solution for Microsoft Exchange that should significantly reduce the variability of Microsoft Exchange total cost of ownership," said Michael Osterman, analyst at Osterman Research. "The hybrid solution approach to helping IT organizations manage their e-mail environments is a unique and market-defining approach that I believe customers will have a lot of interest in exploring."
New software modules include ArchiveXchange, "a complete solution for archiving e-mail for storage management that improves Exchange performance, reduces Exchange backup and recovery times, and eliminates much of the need for Exchange-based quota management," according to the company.
There's also VieweXchange, which provides admins with reports on Exchange health monitoring, e-mail traffic analysis, spam and and virus activity, as well as archiving and mobility statistics. VieweXchange also send e-mail appliance health and hygiene information to Azaleos NOCs.
Finally, SecureXchange, a remote command and control system, enables logged, auditable, repeatable, scripted remote command execution, helping Azaleos staff to troubleshoot and fix issues in the Exchange environment without requiring VPN access.
InfoWorld reviewed a previous version of Azaleos OneServer earlier this year.
