Mimecast Cloud Archive

Delivers all-in-one cloud service that integrates secure data repository, built-in DR, storage management, e-discovery and compliance capabilities.

Mimecast Limited announced Cloud Archive, a multipurpose archive solution built for the cloud.

Cloud Archive delivers an all-in-one cloud service that integrates a secure data repository, built-in data recovery, storage management, e-discovery and compliance capabilities. It enables customers to access their email archive anywhere, anytime, and on any device in record speed.

88% of organizations struggle with existing archive solutions:
Get new-school about archiving
Legacy on-premises and first generation cloud email archiving platforms have become obsolete, as the way organizations use email has completely changed since archiving’s inception nearly two decades ago. According to global data from the company and Vanson Bourne Ltd., 88% of organizations responded that they have experienced problems with their existing archiving solution. Nearly 60% cite administrative complexity as a top challenge, while 48% experience a lack of scalability. Another 56% are plagued by slow search performance. Cloud Archive is designed and optimized for the cloud, offering the scale, performance and advanced features needed to manage email today.

Most email archiving technology was built when email usage was much different. With email being the top communications channel for business, it’s growing at a rate where these on-premises solutions can’t keep up,” said Peter Bauer, CEO, Mimecast. “Archive needs to be thought of as a digital memory- with multiple dimensions that secure corporate data, empower employees with anywhere, anytime access to email, and ensure regulatory and compliance obligations are met. With Cloud Archive, we’re able to give customers the confidence and control they need, with the industry’s fastest search speeds, to get more value from their email data today.

Cloud Archive enables:

  • E-discovery and compliance are made by leveraging a fast search performance. Robust, intuitive tools simplify administrative and e-discovery searches for IT administrators, compliance teams, and legal professionals.

  • Data recovery with Sync & Recover offers independent, immutable, always-available archives to hedge against data loss or corruption, giving organizations a means to restore their Outlook content – including email, personal folders, calendar entries and contacts – should misfortune strike.

  • Business insghts found in Case Review App allow for fast, effective search of email and attachment data to serve myriad missions, including compliance reviews, litigation case assessments, and internal policy audits. Additionally, the company’s latest integration with Salesforce.com allows for Cloud Archive access and fast search capabilities within the CRM tool.

  • Long-term data preservation with the archiving of email and attachment data into perpetuity, with no additional fees or charges for storage or retention duration.

Archiving is intended to perform two vital functions: preserve data and simplify data management functions like search and e-discovery. However, many archiving platforms use on-premises architecture that isn’t able to cost-effectively handle the growing volume of email communications that is the ‘norm’ for businesses today,” said Andrew Smith, senior research analyst, IDC. “Buyers – and the market as a whole – are quickly moving to cloud-based archiving solutions that allow for better scale, performance and value.

Need for anywhere, anytime archive access
The company’s new research also found that 50% of organizations noted mobility, faster search speed and end-user accessibility as top priorities. Organizations that give employees access to their own email archives enable them to work anytime, anywhere and increase productivity and streamline collaboration. This access also reduces the burden on IT. 94% of organizations reported that if their email archiving solution included mobile apps for employees to access personal archives, they would roll them out, with one-fifth saying they would roll them out ‘without a doubt.’

Cloud Archive includes capabilities that empower employees with integrated email management from anywhere, and enhances security by ensuring full IT control over deployment, content access and revocation using their chosen ‘Enterprise Mobility Management’ solution. Employees can self-serve for rapid archive search, security controls and always-on email whether using a corporate device or their own, increasing productivity.

The company has partnered with BlackBerry Ltd. to ensure the firm’s Mobile can be deployed securely and with the management, access and content controls required. Support for other mobility management platforms will follow.

“We live in an always-connected world, and employees have grown to expect access to their corporate email archives anytime, from anywhere,” said Mark Wilson, SVP and chief evangelist, BlackBerry. “While this helps drive productivity and collaboration, organizations need to ensure that corporate data is secured in line with policy no matter the device used or if the employee is on or off the corporate network. We’re excited to help Mimecast give IT and security teams the ultimate control over employee access and authentication, while enabling employees to stay productive.
