Messaging Awareness

Exchange cost & complexity for simplicity & savings

The HP E5000 Messaging System is the industry’s first pre-configured and self-contained Exchange Server 2010 solution. Based on Microsoft and HP best practices, the E5000 simplifies and speeds up deployment – scaling from 100 up to 15,000 mailboxes.

Sitting within the framework of HP’s Converged Infrastructure initiative, the E5000 combines storage, servers, built-in network connectivity, deployment tools, software and a single support contract - all in one box. This delivers a 50% reduction in components, rack space and cabling – ensuring the lowest total cost of ownership.

Key business drivers

Customers of Microsoft Exchange 2003 or earlier face high support costs and aging hardware yet need to support larger mailboxes to keep pace with data growth
Businesses are faced with increasing volumes of email and larger attachments, with employees demanding access 24x7 from anywhere
IT Managers are overwhelmed by the complexity of deploying and optimising storage for messaging while requiring large, low-cost, and scalable mailboxes
Many customers’ current Exchange environment is on SAN. They need more storage capacity for Exchange 2010 but it can be expensive
IT is re-evaluating storage architecture as they approach end-of-lease with SAN or EOL, and IT is considering DAS due to new Exchange 2010 capabilities to reduce storage costs
Customers are unable to move email to the cloud (some or all) due to interoperability challenges, compliance requirements, information security, or confidentiality
44% of the Exchange installed base runs on HP servers.
