Sonasoft Unveiled Windows Server 2012 Email Archiving Appliance

Sonasoft
Corp.
unveiled a Windows Server 2012 email archiving appliance powered by
Galaxy hardware.

This email archiving
appliance will compete against Barracuda Networks’ Message Archiver
in price, quality, and performance. Each SonaVault appliance will
harness the technology innovation of Windows Server 2012. Other
features of the email archiving appliance include SQL
Server for embedded systems to crunch the archiving data stores and
quality hardware. This gives IT departments the confidence of knowing
that their email archiving solution is secured and dependable.

Price sensitive IT
administrators will benefit from using the standard for data stores
without having to purchase a separate license for Microsoft SQL
Server. SMBs, which obtain this email archiving appliance, will
benefit from the company same-day software support and Galaxy’s
extended three-year hardware warranty.

The value
proposition of the new Sonasoft appliance is that it is a complete
solution. IT admins have an appliance that just
plugs-and-pays-for-itself. This solution is able to reduce an
Exchange Server size up to 80%. Companies can unleash Microsoft’s
technology innovations found in Windows Server 2012 to enhance their
performance while maintaining their budgets. With this product, IT
admins can choose between Microsoft Storage Pools or RAID-5, for both
are included at no extra charge. With Storage Pools, adding
additional storage is as simple as connecting new drives of any size
and connections. This will allow organizations to future-proof their
email archive storage requirements while offloading their Exchange
Server with minimum effort and at almost no cost. Other innovations
will include Windows Server 2012 and SonaVault email archiving
software, to be loaded on an SSD for speed and dependability.

Unlike Barracuda
Networks Message Archivers, this will not entice customers with a
seemingly low price and then slice up the total price with ‘must
have’ separate charges for ‘updates’, ‘support’, ‘replacement’,
‘backup’, etc. Once prospective buyers see through these multi-levels
of gauging, they will find the final cost of this product is to cost
much less than Barracuda Networks’ offering. Customers also will
appreciate the value of investing in an standard, dependable and
expandable email archiving appliance.

"Sonasoft’s
email archiving software teamed up with Galaxy hardware makes a
perfect solution,"
said Roy Smith of Galaxy. "There’s
a big demand in the email archiving market for a total solution based
on a Microsoft platform with affordable, yet dependable hardware. IT
administrators don’t have time to mess with someone’s software.
Demands on their time have increased, and they just want something
that they can plug in and do enterprise-class archiving with complete
reliability. With the new SonaVault Email Archiving Appliance, this
need is finally being met. "

"Sonasoft
is glad to go head-to-head with Barracuda’s Message Archiver",
said Andy Khanna, president and CEO of Sonasoft. "Only
Sonasoft’s Email Archiving Solutions can retrieve 100,000 emails less
than five seconds and perform ‘sampling’, ‘content identification’,
and ‘review management’. The competition in the SME market just
doesn’t offer these features at our prices. Now that Sonasoft has
teamed up with Galaxy to deliver an affordable one-stop solution, we
are confident that the market will respond favorably."
