Exchange 2007:
Explore our Cutting Edge Email Migration and Virtualization Options!

Dear Visitor,

On behalf of the Microsoft Exchange specialists at Key and our partner Azaleos, I want to thank you for spending some time on these pages of the Key website. We’ve collected the best information available to describe the e-mail processing challenge and how the Azaleos appliance and managed services can help.

There are 3 exciting benefits associated with the Azaleos solution that I would like to mention:

Migration − The Azaleos Exchange 2007 migration solution delivers the easiest, most cost-effective migration strategy available to move from previous versions of Exchange or Lotus Notes or Novell Groupwise. Azaleos Exchange experts have taken an otherwise complicated, resource intensive, time consuming, and expensive proposition and made it simple.
Virtualization − Azaleos is going to release a virtualized version of its OneServer appliance. This option provides a low-cost, highly available virtual infrastructure for Microsoft Exchange 2007; taking what would normally require four physical servers and putting it on two physical servers. The solution totally supports VMware, which will allow Azaleos to support rapid deployment of patches and updates into the managed virtual appliance.
Monitoring − Azaleos provides management and monitoring solutions for Microsoft Exchange environments that can save companies up to 20% on support and maintenance. Azaleos’ Exchange experts can remove your ongoing struggle with the complexities of Exchange and free up IT staff to work on innovative and revenue generating projects.

Azaleos is an ideal fit for companies that require control of their Exchange environment in-house, need high availability and world-class performance, but do not wish to embrace the daily burden of using valuable in-house IT resources to monitor, maintain, manage, and fix Exchange.

Please feel free to share the information on this page with your team and colleagues!

Kind Regards,

Pete Elliot
