Email and critical applications: can you afford to risk these due to an outage?
There’s no doubt that businesses are increasingly dependent on critical applications such as databases and e-mail for revenue, customers and productivity. For example:
- Sales forces rely heavily on customer relationship management (CRM) applications to efficiently retain and win new accounts.
- E-mail, which has become an indispensable business lifeline, can never be down—particularly during system outages.
As application environments grow in size and complexity, the job of keeping them available 24/7 has become more difficult, straining budgets and distracting IT staff from strategic business initiatives.
Until now, there was no practical, affordable solution.
