Fujitsu has appointed InfraData a reseller of the KVS e-mail management and archiving software.
Some 30 billion e-mail messages are created and sent each day. While a typical e-mail uses an average of 50Kb, conservatively, this results in 1 500TB of new data created worldwide each day.
"InfraData is a supplier of imaging and storage solutions and a reseller of Plasmon and Qstar storage devices. This makes the company ideally suited to marketing the KVS software," said Fujitsu chief technology officer Mike Ross.
Ross said the overall top five drivers for organisations purchasing an e-mail management system are the retention and retrieval of e-mail for regulatory and compliance issues, control of storage growth, the retention and retrieval of e-mail for legal discovery, the migration of PST files and a reduction in IT costs," he said.
Ross said InfraData brings to the market extensive knowledge and understanding of enterprise business needs, especially in the storage market.
"InfraData has a strong relationship with its customers through its focus on storage and imaging solutions. This covers Plasmon, Qstar, RAIDTech, Iomega, ADIC, NEC, Fujitsu, Kodak, Kofax and Bell & Howell," he said.
InfraData MD Riaan de Leeuw said the KVS e-mail solutions fall directly into his company`s storage solution offerings.
"The fact that KVS is totally endorsed by Microsoft adds enormous credibility to the product," he said.
"As storage usage grows so do e-mail archiving requirement and with this the need to archive and retrieve e-mails. KVS is the leading e-mail management solution and meets the e-mail storage requirements that are becoming major concerns within medium and large organisations," he said.
"As awareness of the need for e-mail management is growing, companies are recognising the requirement for a central corporate archiving platform that meets their e-mail storage, indexing, retrieval and compliance requirements in one enterprise solution," he said.
