Quest Software Introduces New Intelligent E-Mail Archiving Solution
¡ª¡ªFrom Quest Sofrware Inc. Jan 30, 2006
Quest Archive Manager 3.0 Based on Recently Acquired AfterMail Technologyt
Quest Software Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT), a leading provider
of application, database and infrastructure management solutions,
today announced Archive Manager 3.0, a new e-mail archiving
solution that captures, indexes and stores messaging data
for mailbox management, compliance and knowledge sharing.
The product is based on innovative technology recently acquired
through Quest Software¡¯s purchase of AfterMail Limited (see
related announcement dated January 5, 2006).
Quest Archive Manager 3.0 provides benefits in three key
areas:
- Compliance and e-discovery support
¨C Archive Manager captures all e-mail and attachments,
including those in PST files, and stores them in a tamper-proof
data store. This ensures a complete and accurate record
of all e-mail communication across an organization that
is available any time to meet audit or legal requirements.
- Knowledge sharing ¨C Massive amounts
of corporate information are found in e-mail, and locking
down e-mail data for compliance purposes often results
in the loss of this critical business intelligence for
other purposes. Only Archive Manager provides secure access
to indexed e-mail and attachments, making it usable by
Customer Relationship Management systems or web portals
such as SharePoint.
- Mailbox storage management ¨C Archive
Manager offers single-instance storage and compression
technology to control data volume and decrease storage
costs.
¡°Companies must address their e-mail retention and management
needs now,¡± said Carolyn DiCenzo, research vice president,
Gartner. ¡°Waiting could place their business at risk, given
the regulatory requirements and escalating demands for electronic
discovery. While many vendors can provide products with
some level of compliance capture and archiving, to be considered
an enterprise e-mail active-archiving vendor the solution
must offer mailbox management and compliance archiving.¡±
¡°Industry analysts recently reported that corporate e-mail
accounts for 40 percent of the 135 billion e-mails sent
daily around the world,¡± commented Dave Champine, director
of product management, Exchange Solutions, Quest Software.
¡°This volume of e-mail creates problems for IT in the areas
of storage management, compliance and legal discovery. But
it also offers opportunity because there is a wealth of
information locked up in e-mail. With Archive Manager 3.0,
Quest offers a single solution that addresses both the problems
and the opportunities of e-mail management.¡±
Pricing and Availability
North American pricing for Archive Manager 3.0 begins at
$40 U.S. per managed mailbox. The product is generally available
now, and more information is available at http://wm.quest.com/products/ArchiveManager.
