Configuring GEO for Exchange Site Resiliency

Microsoft Exchange data center or site failures require a combination of both automatic and manual steps to be completed before client service is fully restored and for the outage to end. The manual steps, mainly centred on the administration of the mailbox databases, pose some unique issues regarding an Exchange data center failover which are not found in other types of site failures.

GEO functionality provides options to Exchange administrators to assist in dealing with the unique issues posed by an Exchange data center failover.
