The Problem

Over time, the sheer volume of data processed by your Exchange Server will naturally lead to bloated data stores, filled with mounting irregularities and inconsistencies. All complex database systems including Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, 2000, 2003 and 2007 slowly degrade and inevitably fail over time unless they are properly maintained. Within every Exchange database, e-mail and other related items are added, changed, and deleted on a continuous basis. As the volume of this information increases, so does the degree of disorganization within the database tables and structures.

Over time these chaotic yet natural events produce bloated information stores, inefficient index pointers, errors, warnings, and other minor inconsistencies in the Exchange databases. As a result the data stores become overloaded and Exchange Server performance degrades, causing inexplicable behavior and, in some cases, complete failure.

Exchange Servers that have not been properly maintained will cause numerous problems:

• Database fragmentation that degrades Exchange system performance
• Growing data stores, logs, and stream files that devour disk space
• Strange and inexplicable behavior that can lead to frustration and loss of productivity
• Failure to meet Backup and other Service Level Agreements (SLA's)
• Complete database failure.

If an Exchange Server or database completely fails, the unplanned downtime can result in a significant loss of employee productivity, missed opportunities, lost sales, and other consequences your company cannot afford.

There is a solution.
