C2C Partners With Promark

C2C Systems has signed a distribution agreement with Promark Technology, value-added distributor (VADs) in the United States, to make ArchiveOne available to solution providers throughout the U.S. and fuel C2C’s channel expansion in the country.

Promark’s emphasis on data storage and content management solutions and its technical assistance, competitive price quotes and contract vehicles  help VARs and system integrators to meet their customers’ needs. As a cost-effective, reliable email archiving and management solution, ArchiveOne Enterprise and ArchiveOne Express complement other data management, storage and protection products in Promark’s portfolio.

"There is strong demand for tools that control the proliferation of email, files and messaging, and the ArchiveOne suite minimizes risk and improves system resource usage," said Todd Hartung, Vice President of Promark. "C2C produces top-quality products that our VARs and systems integrators will be able to install, support and scale as their customers require. For more than 20 years, we’ve offered proven solutions in many data storage arenas, including backup, storage virtualization and storage connectivity, and we feel that email and file archiving are a natural extension to our business of offering complete storage solutions."

"Because of Promark’s undisputed position in the channel, we expect this partnership to significantly expand our reach in the enterprise, government and small-to-midsized business space," said Dave Hunt, CEO at C2C. "VARs and systems integrators who are new to ArchiveOne will appreciate our emphasis on training, marketing and sales tools that help them deliver capacity management, e-policy enforcement, compliance and e-discovery tools. By including C2C’s email archiving and management solutions as part of its overall storage portfolio, Promark is able to extend the storage applications their resellers can offer to customers, better enabling them to provide the best overall solution to meet their customers’ needs."

By partnering with Promark, C2C’s ArchiveOne will also be available to customers in the public sector through the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule procurement process. Promark holds a two-tier distribution agreement with GSA that resellers can leverage to sell products to government customers. This agreement opens up additional markets for the company while also providing C2C Accredited Resellers with the opportunity to fulfill government orders they may not otherwise have qualified to provide.

C2C’s ArchiveOne solutions are simple yet sophisticated tools that are field-proven to help organizations with archiving, retention and e-discovery of email and files, compliance management, intellectual property containment and storage management tools. ArchiveOne employs Zero-Training User Design and is completely transparent, installing in about one hour.

ArchiveOne for email provides secure access to archived emails through iPhone or BlackBerry devices and offsite workers. Sophisticated features include the ability to search and take action on data before it is committed to archive, which provides assurance against ‘data fingerprints,’ reduces capacity needs, speeds backups, and optimizes TCO. Advanced PST management allows administrators to discover, search, delete or consolidate PST files across the organization and integrated Bates Stamping to streamline e-discovery process. ArchiveOne is not dependent on SQL databases, so it offers best-in-class flexibility and scalability as well as reducing risk and improving system usage.
