STORServer Email Archiving Appliance Powered by Mimosa

STORServer, Inc., manufacturer of the all-in-one suite of Business Continuity Appliances, announces the release of its newest email archiving solution based on the Mimosa NearPoint dynamic content archiving solution. The STORServer Email Archiving Appliance, powered by Mimosa NearPoint is a next generation email archiving solution that addresses critical customer requirements of archiving, eDiscovery, disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, business continuity and storage optimization in a single, integrated solution.

The STORServer Email Archiving Appliance provides legal search workflow, immediate mailbox and message recovery, disaster recovery, email, instant message and file archiving and self-service search and access in a single Appliance-based solution. By leveraging cost-effective storage and advanced classification rules, the new Appliance optimizes content storage and reduces overall infrastructure costs.

"Our partnership with Mimosa provides our customers with an industry leading robust email archiving solution with enhanced capabilities that weren’t previously available," said Laura Buckley, president and chief operating officer of STORServer. "We believe that more of our customers’ needs will be met by ‘Appliance-izing’ Mimosa’s solution, and we’re eager to introduce it into the market."

The STORServer Email Archiving Appliance supports systems ranging from 100 mailboxes to tens of thousands in a single system. A hot-plug modular architecture allows servers and storage to be added or removed as required to match performance challenges, without breaking the logical consistency of the archive information. Archive storage capacity grows on demand automatically, and default configuration and wizard-driven menus simplify deployment and management.

"Global requirements are fueling the demand for next-generation archiving solutions to address the need for a comprehensive, content archiving solution that addresses burgeoning email growth, eDiscovery mandates, and storage optimization in a turnkey solution," said Michael Hardy, senior director, business development of Mimosa Systems. "Together, STORServer and Mimosa are delivering advanced solutions that address critical customer requirements around risk, storage management and end user search."

The new Appliance, powered by Mimosa NearPoint is an application-intelligent solution providing deep integration with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook. Deployment is effortless as there is zero foot print on the Exchange Servers or desktops. Administrators perform immediate restores and configure policies using the standard Microsoft Management Console. Users and auditors have the ability for instant search and access to email that has been protected, archived and extended via a standard Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Web Access user interface.

The Email Archiving Appliance joins STORServer’s industry leading data protection appliances for backup, archive and disaster recovery. The Appliance is delivered as one or more virtual machines on a VMware ESX server platform and includes best-in-class, certified, production ready hardware, software, services and support for a fully featured, easy-to-use solution.

With the addition of Mimosa, STORServer is extending its appliance offering beyond its current industry leading data backup, recovery, archive and disaster recovery solution, and now includes enterprise-class email archiving.
