Autonomy, a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, has been ranked by Gartner as the worldwide market share leader in e-mail archiving based on total software revenue for 2009.
According to Gartner's report titled: "Market Trends: E-mail Archiving Strong Growth Continues", Autonomy achieved growth of 18.1% from 2008 to 2009 and market share of 23.7% in 2009.
Regarding the prospects for the e-mail archiving market, Gartner states: "The e-mail archiving software market saw 13.2% year-over-year growth in 2009.
Although this is down from the 2008 growth rate of 25.7%, e-mail archiving is still among the fastest-growing segments of the software market. While the economic recovery and the success of service providers will impact future growth, hosted solutions and improved offerings from the large on-premises e-mail archiving software vendors should help boost growth of 23% through 2014."
Says Chris Hathaway, Director at Soarsoft Africa, distributors of Autonomy's archive and protect solutions - Africa and Middle East: “We are still seeing high growth rates being reflected locally despite the fact that we still lag the US by approximately 12 to 18 months. We are also seeing enterprises and organisations that have had sub-standard and underperforming archiving solutions making the decision to migrate to more trusted and proven solutions like Autonomy EAS.”
Autonomy's comprehensive archiving platform, Autonomy Consolidated Archive, is a modular, secure, and integrated platform that enables customers to leverage the same market-leading archiving technology via an on-premise, cloud-based, hybrid, or appliance-based approach. The company's private cloud-based archiving offering continues to generate impressive growth, and recently passed the milestone of 17 Petabytes of data under management.
"We believe Autonomy's unique meaning-based approach to e-mail archiving continues to drive our impressive gains in market share," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of Autonomy Protect, Enterprise Markets. "Autonomy's ability to automatically identify the concepts and patterns within the millions of e-mails, audio, and video files that flow through a company each day enables customers to appropriately archive and govern their content. By combining these capabilities with Autonomy's highly secure and scalable private cloud, we provide businesses with an unmatched platform from which to drive a range of capabilities, including early case assessment, eDiscovery, legal hold, records management, and multichannel marketing applications."
