Cost comparison

As an illustration, consider the following scenario taken from a real customer:

A regional office of 2000 users, each with a 1GB mailbox
Business continuity required that email data be replicated back to HQ in near real time
a standby server at HQ with automated failover in case regional server fails was also required

PostPath provides an excellent solution for these requirements. Though its difficult to provide exactly this setup with Exchange™, we took the closest approximation and compared the cost of the two solutions. (Note that this represents purchase costs only, it does not include savings in operating costs):
