Sonasoft Rebrands Email Archiving Appliance

Sonasoft Corp., in enterprise email archiving and eDiscovery tools, rebrands its email archiving appliance to SonaVault Email Archiving Appliance powered by Rorke Global Solutions (Rorke Data) and Microsoft Corp.‘s technology.

This new Microsoft technology-based email archiving appliance comes with, at no additional cost, a genuine license of SQL Server Standard Edition and Windows Server 2008 R2.

SonaVault Email Archiving Appliance powered by Rorke Global Solutions (RGS) and Microsoft technology is an Xeon Processor server that uses quality, nonproprietary hardware that can be expanded. A RAID-5 SAS controller protects the archived data and comes standard with all SonaVault Email Archiving Appliances powered by RGS and Microsoft technology. All hardware is backed by a three-year parts replacement warranty. Based on quality, performance, features, and price, Sonasoft’s new email archiving appliance becomes an alternative for those considering Barracuda Networks’ Message Archiver.

"We had several customers literally run to us after experiencing competing archivers with flimsy hardware, proprietary databases, locked in prices, tiered ‘upgrades’, and no place to expand their data archives", said Mike Khanna, head of sales. "We have listened to our customers, and they want a turnkey email archiving solution with quality hardware that offers dependability and true value for their mission-critical applications. They don’t like being held ‘hostage’ to upgrade to the next size up. With SonaVault Email Archiving Appliances powered by RGS and Microsoft technology, storage is never a problem. Our appliance comes with a genuine license of SQL Server that allows IT admins to split up the database, automatically. Data stores can be moved to a different storage device and integrated as a whole into the archive. The power of SQL Sever is endless. Likewise, expanding storage inside our new email archiving appliance is as easy as dropping in new off-the-shelf drives. This use of nonproprietary hardware makes it easy for IT managers never to have to go groveling over to the accounting department to approve some manufacturers’ proprietary drives. If it meets the specs, it fits in our new SonaVault Email Archiving Appliance."

"Of course, our new SonaVault Email Archiving Appliance powered by Rorke Global Solutions and Microsoft Technology comes with our critically acclaimed SonaVault Email Archiving Software", said Bilal Ahmed, CTO and VP engineering. "We incorporated enterprise functionality for the SMB and SME markets such as ‘content identification’, ‘sampling’, and ‘review management’. The competition in this archive space just doesn’t offer these features and performance. Likewise, SonaVault Email Archiving Software is the only product in the market that can archive multiple domains into a single archive. This makes our email archiving and eDiscovery solutions perfect for companies that went through a merger or acquisition."
