Lucid8's Recovery Advantage™ for Dell EqualLogic™ PS Series Storage

Better together – scalable high-performance SAN for Exchange with the best recovery and eDiscovery solutions for Exchange

Combining both solutions enables IT departments to:

  • Protect their Exchange environment against failure.
  • Rapidly recover Exchange databases in case of a server failure.
  • Provide rapid mailbox and item-level recovery without interrupting the live Exchange environment.
  • Enable end users to recover their own items via a self-service module.
  • Respond quickly and cost efficiently to eDiscovery requests without impacting the live server.

Dell EqualLogic™
- Protect Exchange in Case of Failure -


Email is mission critical and the underlying storage platform is a key component in protecting your Exchange environment against failure. With Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays you have a highly scalable, reliable, and easy-to-manage SAN and data protection solution that enables organizations to streamline and optimize their backup processes without impacting Exchange server performance. At the same time, the PS Series provides rapid recovery and failover capabilities in case of server failures. Additionally, EqualLogic Smart Copies are now accessible for other tasks like test and development, data maintenance, and eDiscovery without impacting the live Exchange environment.

Lucid8®
- Reduce Cost for Recovery and eDiscovery -


Lucid8’s DigiScope provides an easy to use but powerful tool enabling IT departments to quickly find and restore data to the live-production from Exchange backups or export results into multiple formats for eDiscovery purposes. Lucid8’s Recovery Advantage allows end users to find and recover their own Exchange data that might have been accidentally deleted or removed from the live server based on retention policies. This self service application helps reduce end user support costs for IT departments and enables IT administrators to focus on more complex and rewarding tasks

Powerful and Efficient Exchange Recovery Solution

Enabling Exchange administrators to quickly find and recover items from Smart Copies

Restoring mailboxes and individual message items from Exchange backups to a live Exchange server is a time - consuming and expensive service IT administrators must provide to their end users.

With Dell’s new EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager integration for Exchange, creating reliable copies of Exchange data such as snapshots, clones, and replicas is simple and fast since it leverages the EqualLogic Smart Copy capabilities. The PS Series Auto-Snapshot Manager with its sophisticated scheduling capabilities greatly increases the ability of IT staff to respond to recovery or eDiscovery requests by making a large number of Smart Copy snapshots immediately available. The need to identify and locate a tape that contains the correct data and then to perform a potentially time-consuming tape restoration can be minimized or eliminated.

While direct disk access to archival backups substantially shortens the recovery cycle at the database level, the majority of discovery and recovery tasks are focused at the mailbox, folder, and item level.
Lucid8’s DigiScope recovery and eDiscovery solution for Microsoft Exchange fills this gap. Its seamless integration with EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager enables IT administrators to:

  • Quickly locate all Exchange Servers with Auto-Snapshot Manager Smart Copies available on Dell EqualLogic Storage PS Series storage arrays.
  • Mount multiple Smart Copy snapshots simultaneously to access the native Exchange databases (EDB’s) and log files.
  • Search across all mounted databases for mailboxes, folders, and items that need to be recovered or exported, allowing de-duplication of search results.
  • Restore mailboxes, folders, and individual items to the live Exchange server directly from a Smart Copy.
  • Export mailboxes, folders, and individual items to PSTs and various other formats to respond to eDiscovery requests.

End-User Self Service Outlook Recovery Solution

Enabling end users to quickly find and restore their own items from Smart Copies

IT departments who provide folder and individual item recovery services for end users may want to consider empowering end users with self recovery capabilities.  Doing so not only frees up IT resources for more important recovery and eDiscovery tasks, but it can also decrease recovery times and increase user satisfaction and productivity.

Lucid8’s Recovery Advantage™ enables end users to recover their own items beyond the retention timeframe provided by Microsoft Exchange by allowing them to:

  • Search for, preview and print items which are stored within the Auto-Snapshot Manager Smart Copies and are no longer present on the live server, as well as items that have been soft or hard deleted on the live-production Exchange server.
  • Restore individual items including attachments to the live Exchange server directly from any Auto-Snapshot Manager Smart Copy or undelete hard and soft deleted items from the Exchange Server.

For the end user, the process is very simple, secure, and efficient since it is integrated into Outlook and completely shields the user from the underlying storage system.
