SSG-NOW analysis gives StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange high marks for reliability, ease of use

DRAPER, Utah, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry analyst firm SSG-NOW today released a Snapshot Report that praises StorageCraft^® Granular Recovery for Exchange for its reliable support for email continuity, management and recovery. StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange 8, released in January, is a backup and disaster recovery solution that allows Microsoft Exchange Server administrators to search for, recover and migrate individual email messages, email folders and mailboxes. (Note: The SSG-NOW Report can be accessed here.)

Developed by the same company that created the award-winning StorageCraft ShadowProtect^® software, StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013. One of the unique features that SSG-NOW highlights in its report is that StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange can be used with non-StorageCraft backup and recovery software. (Note: A video overview of StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange is available here.)

"StorageCraft (Granular Recovery for Exchange) solutions not only operate with the StorageCraft ShadowProtect data protection product line, but offer compatibility with any Microsoft Exchange Server email database (EDB) or .PST file. This means that organizations can simply add StorageCraft GRE to existing backup systems without needing to deploy a new or unfamiliar data protection product," SSG-NOW analyst James E. Bagley wrote.

SSG-NOW's report also stressed the product's migration capability, pointing out that it is a great option for Windows Exchange Server 2003 users as Microsoft is scheduled to end support for Windows 2003. Another aspect of StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange that SSG-NOW highlights is the user-friendly interface.

"Those familiar with the intricacy involved with Exchange databases and .PST files will appreciate the ease of use and automation of functions that normally would require many error-prone steps involved in recovery or migration," Bagley wrote.

StorageCraft Technology Corporation Vice President of Marketing and Business Development Curt James said the SSG-NOW report presents a strong case about why StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange is a valuable tool for IT administrators in their efforts to maintain access to emails.

"In today's world, it is crucial for companies to have access to their data, systems and emails. StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange gives IT administrators the capability to effectively protect and manage their email assets," James said. "StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange is also a great tool for computer forensics and email migrations."

StorageCraft Granular Recovery for Exchange is the sister product of StorageCraft ShadowProtect Granular Recovery for Exchange, which is used with ShadowProtect Server, ShadowProtect Small Business Server or ShadowProtect Virtual.
