EMC extends Insignia Solutions for SMBs

EMC has extended its Insignia line of security products for SMBs with two new fully integrated solutions, Insignia Solution for Exchange and Insignia Solution for Data Protection. Both systems use EMC's CLARiiON AX150 and AX150i networked storage systems and Insignia software.

EMC says Insignia Solution for Exchange provides SMBs with the most efficient managed storage for Microsoft Exchange, including the ability to automate Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 migration and restore individual emails, a mailbox or the entire server without requiring extensive expertise or complex manual intervention.

The solution combines the CLARiiON AX150 and AX150i networked storage systems (which EMC guarantees will ensure that data is not lost should a hard drive fail), the automated EMC Storage Administrator for Exchange SMB Edition software and EMC Retrospect for Windows back-up and recovery software.

The Insignia Solution for Data Protection can achieve data protection for an SMB's entire range of servers, desktops and laptops. EMC says that by combining CLARiiON AX150 and AX150 networked storage systems with the performance, multiple restore points, and support for most tape drives of Retrospect for Windows back-up and recovery software, SMBs can get data protection capability equal to the value of their data to their business.
