Quantum Announces LTO-5 Tape Solutions

An economical medium for long-term data retention, archiving and disaster recovery, LTO-5 technology is now available in Quantum tape autoloaders and standalone drives and with limited availability in Quantum's Scalar® tape libraries. Compared to the previous LTO generation, the new LTO-5 tape drives nearly double the capacity and increase transfer rates by up to 15 percent, providing a much lower cost per gigabyte of data storage. LTO-5 also features greater energy-efficiency savings since it requires less power consumption and delivers lower cooling costs.

These innovations, along with native encryption, enhance tape's role in providing long-term data retention, archiving and disaster recovery as an integral component of a broader tiered storage strategy.

What’s New with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

For most businesses today, e-mail is the mission-critical communications tool that allows their people to produce the best results. This greater reliance on e-mail has increased the number of messages sent and received, the variety of work getting done, and even the speed of business itself. Amid this change, employee expectations have also evolved. Today, employees look for rich, efficient access—to e-mail, calendars, attachments, contacts, and more—no matter where they are or what type of device they are using.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 helps you achieve new levels of reliability and performance by delivering features that simplify administration, protect communications, and satisfy users by meeting their demands for greater business mobility. With new deployment and storage options, enhanced inbox management capabilities, and e-mail archiving built-in, Exchange Server 2010 can help you lower messaging costs by 50-80%, increase productivity with anywhere access, and provide protection and compliance capabilities that help you manage risk.

Included in Exchange Server 2010 is a host of new features that can benefit your business such as:

· New integrated archiving and discovery capabilities.

· New unified mailbox resilience model that provides high availability, disaster recovery, and back up capabilities.

· Ability to easily delegate administration to specialized users, such as the help desk or a compliance officer.

· Comprehensive information protection capabilities — from e-mail moderation to automatic e-mail encryption.

For users, highlights include:

· A consistent inbox, calendaring, and contacts experience across the PC, browser and phone.

· Integrated conversation view bringing together information across all folders, inbox and sent and deleted items.

· Ability to remove (or "mute") themselves from irrelevant conversations with the click of a button.

· Text preview of voice mail messages in the inbox.

· New Call Answering Rules to easily create customized voice mail rules, such as call transfer options.
