Comments
According to a Radicati Group study, the total email archiving market, comprising both on-premises and hosted email archiving solutions, will grow from nearly $2.1 billion in 2009 to over $5.1 billion in 2013. That's a growing market, one of the main - if not the main - coming storage application, where little MXsense will try to make its place against a fast growing number of competitors, some of them - generally the small ones - specialized in this field, but also about all the storage giants.
