Azaleos® Corporation, the managed Microsoft messaging services company, today announced the release of version 4.0 of ViewXchange, its monitoring and reporting service for Microsoft Exchange. ViewXchange provides enhanced real-time visibility and reporting into the health, performance, and usage of Microsoft Exchange environments including Active Directory, Windows Server, storage systems, and physical and virtual servers. Azaleos also announced a free three (3) week trial offer that allows qualifying organizations to use this monitoring service to evaluate the health of their Exchange system.
“Managing Microsoft Exchange requires specialized skills and the ability to recognize conditions that are likely to lead to problems, this can be a challenge for many organizations,” said Laura DiDio, Research Fellow at research firm Yankee Group. “With ViewXchange organizations maintain access to critical information and reports about their on-premise Exchange environment, while leaving the day-to-day management to the Azaleos operations team.”
Making Sense of Exchange
The ViewXchange 4.0 service monitors and provides real-time views of nearly three thousand Exchange system data points that influence system availability and performance. ViewXchange 4.0 is a SaaS service that is already shipping and used by Azaleos network operations center professionals to manage service level agreements for the company’s customers located across 3 continents. Organizations that qualify for the limited time free trial, can access the same visibility into their Exchange environment from the ViewXchange browser-based dashboard. Some of the new capabilities in ViewXchange 4.0 include:
- A redesigned System View for a simplified, “at a glance” overview of Exchange health vital signs
- A new view and reports of real-time and historical Exchange mail flow statistics
- Health and data views of both the physical server and virtual (guest and host) servers
“ViewXchange 4.0 is an industrial strength monitoring platform developed for Azaleos network operations center professionals who manage our customer’s production environments,” said Keith McCall, CTO of Azaleos. “It provides much deeper visibility into the health status of Exchange than other packaged software applications, and allows customers to view key indicators and reports without having to manage their messaging environment themselves.”
The Service Advantage
ViewXchange provides superior depth and breadth of monitoring capabilities compared to traditional Exchange monitoring software products such as Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager or NetIQ AppManager. The service component of ViewXchange, which involves 24x7x365 monitoring of customer environments by Azaleos technicians, really sets it apart and is the biggest asset for organizations. From the Azaleos network operations center a team of Exchange professionals performs real-time monitoring, analysis, and interpretation of system data from a customer’s Exchange environment to identify and resolve issues before they can affect availability or performance.
ViewXchange Free Three Week Trial
For a limited time, Azaleos is offering a free three week trial program of the ViewXchange monitoring service. Organizations with 500 or more users on Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 can qualify for a ViewXchange trial to:
- Compare the Azaleos service to their current monitoring and management methods
- Identify the health, performance and overall status of their Exchange environment
- Gain the same visibility into Exchange used by Azaleos network operations center professionals
OneStop Managed Services
ViewXchange is part of the modular lineup of Azaleos OneStop managed Exchange services. OneStop offerings are based on OneServer for Microsoft Exchange 2007, a high availability, hardened e-mail appliance that is managed remotely by experts in the Azaleos network operations center. A virtualized edition of OneServer is also available that reduces the number of physical servers required to deploy Exchange 2007 from four to two.
In addition to ViewXchange, other OneStop remotely managed services include: ProtectXchange, a comprehensive anti-virus/anti-spam service; MobileXchange, monitoring and management services for mobile connectivity with Exchange; RestoreXchange, business continuity services for Exchange; and ArchiveXchange, automatic archival and storage of e-mail for Exchange server.
