Impact of Implementing Antivirus Solution in a Microsoft Exchange Server2007 Environment

Security is a required element in the design of a total messaging solution. An extremely infectious virus can cause tremendous damage by deleting critical data in the messaging environment, degrading performance, and corrupting Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 databases. Consequently, HP strongly recommends incorporating an antivirus protection element in the overall design of a messaging solution. The goal of deploying antivirus protection is to prevent a potential disaster by safeguarding the entire messaging environment from various attacks, such as virus threats, security risks, suspicious file attachments, and spam.
