C2C Releases ArchiveOne Express

C2C announced a new edition to its family of email archiving products called ArchiveOne Express, specifically designed for organizations with 20 to 200 Microsoft Exchange mailboxes. ArchiveOne Express will help them improve mail system capacity and performance and also meet compliance and e-discovery requirements.

ArchiveOne Express also includes C2C’s new ArchiveOne CloudDR option for automated cloud-based disaster recovery, entering beta this month.

In designing ArchiveOne Express, C2C built on its fifth-generation technology, using its ‘Zero-Training Required‘ design principles to simplify the installation and configuration processes for organizations that most often simply wish to archive everything versus develop an intricate policy library. Configuration is wizard-driven and with a few clicks of a mouse, ArchiveOne Express will deliver the sophisticated analytical search and email storage management that smaller businesses require. Additionally, if users have scattered ‘email databases’ of their own in PSTs, ArchiveOne Express will discover and consolidate those files to the central archive without end-user involvement.

“Our research has indicated that the small business market understands the benefits of email archiving, but is turned off by either entry-level products lacking depth or the cost of the top tier products or the lack of ability to grow over time with appliance models,” said Dave Hunt, CEO of C2C. “ArchiveOne Express provides many of the award-winning features of the ArchiveOne product family, protecting multinational companies, yet is easier to install and configure than desktop software. We have created a compelling value for a smaller business looking for a top tier email archiving solution and all for under $40 per mailbox.”

“Effective email management is as essential for small and midsize businesses as it is for larger enterprises in today’s litigious environment, yet SMBs too often rely on manual processes or home-grown approaches,” said Kenneth Chin, Gartner Research vice president. “Whether it’s to meet record retention regulations, improve resource management, or as way to reduce time and costs in recovering old files and emails, an archiving solution is a necessity for any organization using email extensively.”
    
Features and benefits of ArchiveOne Express include:

• Enterprise-grade features in a wizard-driven, easy-to-install package
• ‘Zero-Training Required’ for users
• User access compatible with Apple iPhone and RIM BlackBerry
• Fast, integrated search and e-discovery
• Dramatically improves the performance of a Microsoft Exchange Server
• No limits in backend storage and scale; upgradable to ArchiveOne Enterprise
• No separate database to administer

ArchiveOne Express provides access to C2C’s new CloudDR option, now in beta, a remote automated disaster recovery service that connects users to offsite storage over a regular Internet connection to help defend against a local outage or due to natural disasters, extreme weather, data corruption, or sabotage. CloudDR mirrors the local NAS, DAS or SAN archive data store and easily and securely transmits data without expensive software, hardware or high-end connectivity, and is dramatically more reliable and more affordable than shipping tapes offsite. Customers purchasing ArchiveOne Express now through the end of 2009 will receive CloudDR for a free three-month trial.
