Configuration Control for Exchange
Most Exchange availability problems are caused by inadequate IT planning or processes, unclear expectations of the messaging system, and lack of expertise with the nuances of configuring Microsoft Exchange in complex environments. Absence of effective measurement and accountability, and overly complex server and application infrastructures also contribute to overloaded messaging systems and to the inability to predict, deploy, and manage change.
InboxSolutions' Exchange Configuration Monitoring is designed to help you achieve significant, measurable, and sustained improvements in your messaging environment and, in turn, deliver the productivity, efficiency, and return on investment (ROI) required by your business. The services focus on optimizing messaging operations and offer the same best practices, processes, tools, and expertise that Microsoft uses to achieve high levels of availability in its own enterprise.
Best Practices
Through InboxSolutions' Exchange Configuration Monitoring for Messaging, your organization can gain hands-on assistance, showing your IT groups how to apply Microsoft IT and ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) best practices, processes, tools, and knowledge to improve messaging availability. Achieve the following results:
- Reduce the costs associated with nonstandard configurations
- Raise accountability through clear performance standards, precise measurement, and active communications
- Preempt problems by building effective plans for less disruptive change, product releases, and configuration management
- Create a culture of proactive management where accountability drives clear goals
- Transform change management from a reactive task into a planned and predictable activity
Proactive Management
InboxSolutions' Exchange Configuration Monitoring for Messaging enables IT groups to define and apply standard configurations for their Microsoft Exchange systems, and then monitor compliance with those standards. This service can help reduce the complexity of the Exchange infrastructure, optimize its use, and decrease the problems that can arise while keeping multiple Exchange configurations current. This service provides a preemptive approach to managing changes, releasing new products and fixes, defining configurations, and creating an environment of iterative improvement.
Establish and enforce standard configuration compliance
Optimizing messaging configurations reduces the problems inherent in overly complex systems. The Exchange configuration templates for Hardware and Software provide all the settings per Microsoft best practice guidelines for configurations, including hardware, operating systems, mailboxes, public folders, and connectors. Exchange Configuration Monitoring identifies the current configurations and their complexities, and notifies IT when unauthorized changes are made. By knowing what is out of compliance, IT can take immediate steps to resolve the issues.
