Leaders in Exchange Archiving and Disaster Recovery Collaborate to Reduce the Cost of Storing, Retaining, Retrieving and Recovering Exchange Data in a Unified Solution
SANTA CLARA, CA, Oct. 14, 2009 (Marketwire) --
SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/14/09 -- Mimosa Systems, the leader in next-generation email, file, and SharePoint archiving solutions, today announced further integration between Mimosa NearPoint(TM) and NetApp® storage and data management solutions. Together, the two companies have developed a comprehensive solution for shadowless archiving, storage management and data protection for Microsoft Exchange environments.
The Mimosa NearPoint archive leverages NetApp's Snapshot(TM) technology as the source for archived data and the compliant archival of data capture for all Exchange database transactions and events. This includes all email, moves, message deletes, calendar items and contacts. In addition, customers can simplify application data management leveraging NetApp's SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange, which automates complex, manual, and time-consuming processes associated with the backup, recovery, and verification of Exchange Server databases while eliminating the need to implement Exchange Journaling.
"Today's business users rely on Microsoft Exchange as a business-critical application. As a result, uncontrolled email growth can be crippling to IT budgets," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Solutions Marketing for NetApp. "Together, NetApp and Mimosa are working to deliver deeper integration to curtail the spiraling management costs IT organizations face in storing, retaining, retrieving, and recovering Exchange data."
A good example of the value of Mimosa and NetApp's integration is at work in the Chichester School District. With 4,000 K-12 students supported by a teaching staff of 700, the Chichester School District in Boothwyn, Pa. protects its data using a NetApp SAN. To further safeguard and manage its email content, Chichester standardized on Mimosa NearPoint to enable simplified content management, disaster recovery and record retention requirements in a unified solution.
"We needed an archiving solution to free our users from mailbox limit constraints and reduce our overall storage costs," said Tim McGrath, senior network administrator, Chichester School District. "Mimosa NearPoint was the only solution we evaluated that could deliver an all in one solution without impacting the performance of our Exchange server.
