AppAssure Offers One Year of Free Support to Microsoft Exchange 2003 Customers With Support Contracts Ending April 14, 2009

Replay AppImage Delivers Lightning-Fast Application Backup and Recovery -- Even for Companies Not Ready to Upgrade From Exchange 2003


RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - April 9, 2009) - AppAssure, a leading provider of enterprise-class backup and disaster recovery software purpose-built for Windows applications, today announced that is it offering free support for one year for new customers of Replay AppImage that require lightning-fast application backup and recovery even while they wait to migrate from Microsoft Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 or E14.

"Although Microsoft has announced that it will be ending support for Exchange 2003 on April 14, 2009, many organizations are still stalling their plans to upgrade to Exchange 2007 due to tightening budgets," said Najaf Husain, CEO and president, AppAssure. "AppAssure wants these companies to know that even though their plans to migrate may be put on hold, they don't have to wait to get lightning-fast application backup and recovery. With Replay AppImage, IT administrators can still have many of the advantages of Exchange 2007 without the heavy upgrade and maintenance costs."

With very minimal investment of time and resources, Replay AppImage can help companies bridge the gap until they are ready to upgrade to Exchange 2007, or even wait it out until Exchange 14. Custom designed for Windows Application Servers, Replay AppImage delivers application imaging with exceptional recovery speed, support for single message restores and live recovery.

AppAssure is offering one year of free support for every new Replay AppImage customer between now and May 14, 2009, that is using Exchange 2003 currently and has either no Exchange support or has upgraded to premium Exchange support in 2009.
