Mailscape

Simplify Microsoft Exchange System Management

 
     
 
 
 

Overview

Mailscape is a unique and innovative systems management tool that automates and streamlines Exchange monitoring, administration, and maintenance. Mailscape’s sleek dashboard provides administrators with vital information about each server’s current state and growth rate to facilitate proactive Exchange management.

 

In order to keep your Exchange system healthy and happy, the servers must be monitored, administered, and maintained according to Microsoft’s prescribed daily maintenance checklist. These processes are essential to keeping Exchange up and running, but they involve a great deal of time-consuming, repetitive manual tasks. And in a world where everyone has too much to do and too little time to do it, one of two things happens: Exchange maintenance slips a little bit each day, or you are perpetually short on time to complete all your other responsibilities.
