SANTA CLARA, CA–(Marketwire – November 9, 2009) – Mimosa Systems, the leader in next-generation email archiving, file archiving, and SharePoint archiving solutions, today announced that Mimosa NearPoint™ will deliver support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 beginning November 30, 2009. As a Microsoft Technology Adoption Program (TAP) member and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Mimosa will leverage its NearPoint for Exchange 2010 solution to establish an organizational archive that complements Exchange 2010 personal archive functionality for the long-term storage and retention management of email and historical PST content without any impact to the production email environment.

“Email is a critical business application for our campus,” said Michael Bowden, systems engineer, Bowdoin College. “As a result this can place a strain on our IT infrastructure due to exploding data growth, shrinking backup windows and the need to store data long-term for compliance purposes. Mimosa delivers an integrated archive solution that was built from day one to support Microsoft Exchange. As we plan our Exchange 2010 migration we know Mimosa will be there to make this a seamless transition.”

Long-term email archiving continues to be a critical business requirement as email volumes grow, and companies keep email as critical business records, then dispose of these according to their records management policies. Additionally, legal workflow to manage the long-term preservation and review of responsive content is also driving the need for an organizational archive. Corporations have a requirement to retain information for regulatory compliance and need a robust organizational archive that goes well beyond the personal archive to provide historical storage, retention adherence and eDiscovery workflow to ensure compliance.

Alternatively, companies that leverage Mimosa NearPoint, with its support for Exchange 2010, will benefit from the following advantages:

– A comprehensive organizational archive that provides single-instance
storage, retention and eDiscovery across Exchange, File System, and
SharePoint content
– An integrated application set to manage workloads across the
information lifecycle including retention and classification of business
records, employee supervision for data loss prevention, and electronic
discovery to manage in-place legal holds
– Offline access to archived content through the NearPoint archive cache
– Storage of archived content on compliance devices such as EMC Centera,
NetApp SnapLock and Hitachi HCAP

“As an active Microsoft TAP partner, Mimosa was able to provide Microsoft feedback on the archiving features included in Exchange 2010 and with NearPoint, has established an organizational record archive that complements Exchange 2010 archive functionality for long-term retention,” said T.M. Ravi, CEO, Mimosa Systems. “We have architected a solution that leverages the advanced features being delivered with Exchange 2010 for companies that wish to deploy a long-term archive for email, file system, and SharePoint data.”

What is Microsoft Exchange Server Server and it’s Use?

In the modern business environment, e-mail has become the primary means of communication, supplanting even the ever present PBX phone system. While the need for e-mail is undeniable, there are a variety of approaches that SMBs take to fulfilling that need, from bare bones POP mail to a full on in-house server deployment. There is a constant however, and it’s a common one in a tight economy – price constraints and the inherent limitations they impose on available features.

Certainly business considerations have driven e-mail development, growing from the simple ability to send ASCII text from one mainframe to another, to the full featured information and time management platforms we have come to expect. The client/server driven POP mail was an important advancement from UNIX e-mail readers; similarly, limitations of POP mail led to the development of IMAP technology, and so on.

Concerns over scalability and security prompted companies like Microsoft to create enterprise class e-mail applications, and today corporate e-mail is dominated by Microsoft Exchange Services and similar solutions. Designed from the ground up for business, Exchange includes robust security, back up management tools, and a host of other business oriented features. Unfortunately, the cost of hardware, licenses, and the technical staff needed to run an Microsoft Exchange server has prevented many SMBs from taking advantage of those benefits. Hosted Exchange service changes that equation, giving small businesses the power of Exchange at a fraction of the expected cost.

Hosted Exchange service simply means that a business outsources provisioning and management of the Exchange server to an application hosting provider. To start, this eliminates cost of entry barriers, allowing business to quickly and inexpensively adopt Exchange into the workplace. Ongoing costs of operations are also mitigated, by avoiding the need to purchase servers and software licenses, as well as hire staff to maintain the infrastructure. Hosted Exchange services are instantly scalable, and generally offer pay as you go price structures, which means that businesses only pay for exactly what they need. Contrast this with the usual technology upgrade cycle of paying for capacity and growing into it later.

The ancillary benefits of a Hosted Exchange solution are even more striking, with SMBs reaping significant advantages through the economies of scale offered by a high end hosting provider. Robust, fully redundant datacenters with 24/7/365 staffing, backbone connections to major carriers, and supplemental services like managed backup, anti-virus and intrusion protection, and managed load balancers and firewalls all add up to make a Microsoft Exchange solution invaluable to businesses of any size.

If you’re worried that your business is at a disadvantage thanks to an outdated e-mail solution, you’re probably right. If you haven’t acted on those worries because of budgetary concerns, then outsourcing to a Hosted Exchange provider is the cost-effective answer.
