Turning the Tide with Concentric Perimeter Email Protection (PEP)
Email is a mission-critical transport for business information and the most important communications tool employed by businesses today. But email is under attack by a flood of spam and other email threats. Businesses must defend their email systems not only against ordinary computer viruses but also against various criminal activities, including senders of unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or “spam”, phishers (senders of email messages related to fraud), and other distributors of malicious software (“malware” and “trojans”.) The cost of responding to the growing number of threats is increasing while the risk of failure is potentially catastrophic.

Best Practices for Maintaining a Healthy Exchange Messaging System by Hewlett-Packard Company / Paul Robichaux
With any business, if a critical infrastructure system such as email degrades or fails, the effect will ripple outward to other business-critical operations and services. Microsoft has engineered Exchange to be both robust (not likely to fail, even under unusual conditions) and resilient (capable of graceful recovery when failures do occur). Despite these efforts, monitoring and managing your Exchange servers, and the infrastructure services they depend on, is critical to keep your overall business operations healthy. Your email system is more than just Exchange: it includes server and network hardware, the Windows OS, storage subsystems, and other components whose failure can affect messaging operations.
