M+SecureStore From Messaging Architects

Messaging Architects, in email risk management and compliance, announced the release of M+SecureStore, an innovative, intelligent, and cost-effective method for managing and storing the growing volume of corporate email. M+SecureStore is built on third-generation content addressed storage (CAS) technology and can be used to manage and store email without having to separate active and archive content.

M+SecureStore is available as an optional storage solution to all M+Guardian and M+Archive customers for improved storage management without the need to invest in additional tier-one type of storage. The M+SecureStore software runs on any standard x86 server platform, supports virtualization and clustering, has automated replication, and offers a full set of archiving and compliance features. It can scale easily from a terabyte to petabytes using commodity server hardware. M+SecureStore features a built-in, automatic off-site data replication function that further enhances disaster recovery and business continuity plans.

“M+SecureStore is a simple and highly scalable content storage environment that has the performance of primary storage and the integrity of an archive,” explained Ranjit Sarai, M+SecureStore Product Manager at Messaging Architects. “We are aware organizations face pressures to cut operating costs without compromising security and compliance mandates. M+SecureStore was designed to help our customers meet the stringent requirements for compliant storage and bring them considerable savings on hardware investments.”

Octasic, Inc. are among the first Messaging Architects clients to take advantage of M+SecureStore. When they bought M+Guardian, they decided to review their storage requirements as well. Claude Bilodeau, Tech, IT Support at Octasic, explains what prompted him to opt for new software-based CAS storage: "In our company, messages with attachments are often forwarded to many users. M+SecureStore enables us to keep a single copy of the attachment, freeing up storage space and reducing our overall storage requirements. The fact that M+SecureStore delivers a comprehensive storage software solution that substantially reduces storage and IT costs and provides a greener IT infrastructure is also in line with Octasic’s commitment to the environment."
