Leaders in Exchange Archiving and Disaster Recovery Collaborate to Reduce the
Cost of Storing, Retaining, Retrieving and Recovering Exchange Data in a Unified
Solution
LONDON--(Business Wire)--
Mimosa Systems, the leader in next-generation email, file, and SharePoint
archiving solutions, today announced further integration betweenMimosa
NearPointTM 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 SnapshotTM 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. The expanded integration
between Mimosa NearPoint and NetApp`s SnapManager for Exchange will deliver
additional value to organizations that need to archive and store content
long-term for compliance purposes."
In addition to the new integration with NetApp SnapManager for Exchange, Mimosa
NearPoint also offers comprehensive integration with several other NetApp
technologies, including NetApp SnapManager for SQL Server, SnapDrive,
SnapMirror, and FlexVol. The integration leverages NetApp`s cascading Snapshot
technology for archived data protection, resulting in a combined solution that
features a storage footprint that is smaller to deploy, faster to recover and
lower in overall management costs.
The NetApp-Mimosa solution also centralizes the management of disaster recovery
and retention policies so IT organizations can assure compliance with corporate
governance and regulatory mandates while streamlining overall storage management
processes for user generated content including email, calendar information, IMs
and files. Ultimately, this reduces overall management costs while increasing IT
administration staff productivity.
"Our ongoing integration partnership with NetApp enables Mimosa to assure
seamless protection of the entire messaging environment - from the Exchange
Server to the archive while lowering storage costs," said T.M. Ravi, CEO, Mimosa
Systems. "The NetApp-Mimosa combination assures the best-in-class archiving
companies demand for the critical Exchange data that has become the vital core
of their business operations."
Mimosa NearPoint is the industry`s most comprehensive unstructured information
management software solution for email, files, and instant messages, enabling
archiving, eDiscovery, storage management, and recovery in a unified solution.
