New Email Archiving Appliance by Fortiva

SmartStore SaaS solution allows to archive email, comply with FRCP and meet e-discovery requests.

Fortiva Inc. announced the
availability of the Fortiva SmartStore archive, a cost-effective way
for businesses to meet the demands of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure (FRCP), without adding to their existing infrastructure or IT
staffing requirements.

This Software as a Service (SaaS) solution
allows businesses to centrally archive all email, enforce policies and
litigation holds, perform enterprise search and easily conduct early
case assessment, all for the same or less than the cost of storing and
managing the data on enterprise storage in-house. SmartStore’s stubbing
feature can also significantly reduce the demands on Exchange,
improving email storage management.

Having
effective search and retrieval capabilities for email is increasingly
becoming a top priority for businesses. Under the FRCP, all corporate
email can be requested for legal discovery. Failing to enforce a
consistent retention policy and being unprepared to produce email data
within very tight timelines may result in a presumption of guilt, cost
millions in fines or settlements and damage credibility.

If
you are storing corporate email, you need to be prepared for
e-discovery – it’s that simple
,” said Rick Dales, VP Product
Management, Fortiva. “Businesses should be able to comply with the FRCP
requirements and meet e-discovery requests without significantly adding
to their current storage costs. As an entry-level archive, SmartStore
makes this possible without charging for unnecessary features or
placing additional demands on IT
.”

Over the
past year, since changes were made to the FRCP, many businesses have
struggled to get a handle on their email for legal discovery. The
FortivaSmartStoreemail archive provides complete protection for
businesses concerned with consistently retaining email for FRCP
compliance, eliminating the legal risks of improper email retention and
protecting companies from costly data search and retrieval for
e-discovery.

Most companies
significantly underestimate the real cost of conducting a search –
which is arguably the most important feature of an archive when a
discovery request comes in,
” said Chris Tebo, CTO, Fortiva. “SmartStore
allows customers to access sophisticated search tools without the high
cost of maintaining the servers required for enterprise-grade search
in-house. At the same time, our customers benefit from lower costs
resulting from the shared infrastructure of Fortiva’s multi-tenant SaaS
architecture.

As the only email archiving vendor
offering a search time guarantee, Fortiva’s flagship archiving offering
is recognized for its real-time search capabilities that allow legal or
compliance staff to easily conduct advanced e-discovery searches with
immediate results. The SmartStore archive removes the costs associated
with instantaneous search, while still providing powerful e-discovery
capabilities. At any time, SmartStore archive users can upgrade to the
full Fortiva Archiving Suite to access real-time search for more
intensive e-discovery requirements.

The SmartStore archive includes the following features:

  • Multiple
    redundant encrypted copies of all internal and external email are
    securely stored at Fortiva’s state-of-the-art datacenters;
  • All emails are fully indexed and archived according to the customer’s retention policy;
  • Advanced,
    enterprise-wide e-Discovery searches can be conducted by legal or IT
    staff from a web-based browser interface, with results returned in a
    few hours; real-time search access is available as an option that can
    be turned on or off at any time;
  • Litigation holds can be easily enforced using Fortiva’s web-browser based interface;
  • Optional
    attachment stubbing feature allows businesses to reduce their Exchange
    store by as much as 80 percent by replacing storage-intense attachments
    with a pointer to the archive that provides seamless access to that
    information by end users.

Pricing & Availability

Fortiva’s SmartStore archive is available now. Pricing for a 1000-user
company including storage and licensing fees starts at $1.10 per user,
per month (pricing varies according to the amount of storage required).
