DataCove Email Archival Appliance From Tangent Reaches 250 Installations

Tangent, Inc. announced it has attained 250+ customer installations of its DataCove Email Archival Appliance in ten months of availability.

The realization that email archiving must be done by all sizes and types of businesses and organizations is growing as understanding of the implications of noncompliance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), and other federal and state regulations broadens. This makes the rapid acceptance of the DataCove appliance by a wide range of customers all the more significant.

The DataCove product was introduced in August of 2007, and began shipment within months of introduction. Based on available public information, DataCove reached the 250+ installation mark faster than any other email archival appliance to date. "The speed with which the DataCove appliance hit this important milestone validates our solutions ease of use, effectiveness and affordability," said Edward Alexei, Tangent’s vice president of IT Solutions. "Getting to 250+ installations in record time is a powerful endorsement of the DataCove Email Archival Solution by organizations that are leaders in their own markets. With hundreds of additional installations being evaluated throughout the world, we look to reach our next major milestone by the end of 2008."

Among those taking advantage of the capabilities of the DataCove appliance are several of the largest school systems in the United States, local municipalities, county and state government agencies, as well as units of the federal government. In addition, hospital groups and numerous small, mid-sized and large commercial enterprises including national retail chains are now utilizing the DataCove appliance for their archival requirements.

"In our experience, the DataCove appliance makes the required process of archiving email and instant messages one that is swift, secure and remarkably simple," said Joe Phillips, CIO of New York’s A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital. "Every aspect is oriented toward making this information necessity extremely easy, from installation, archiving, to data updates and, as needed, retrieval of selected information. We could not be more satisfied with the DataCove appliance and are not surprised by the rate of its acceptance."

Along with regulatory compliance, other drivers for the implementation of a DataCove archival solution are legal e-discovery and data mining.
