Mimecast, the leading provider of unified e-mail management (UEM), announced at Storage Expo, in London, the provision of new services for Microsoft Outlook users utilising its hosted (SaaS) platform.
Further services, such as document version archiving and information profiling for SharePoint, as well as data recovery directly into Exchange, will be provided in 2008.
These Mimecast Services for Outlook include:
* Live continuity for Outlook - enables end-users on Outlook to continue sending and receiving e-mails even in the event of a full Exchange outage.
* High performance end-user search - enhances Outlook`s search capability to include e-mails in the 10 year off-site corporate archive held by Mimecast via the Web.
* Smart folders and document views - offers dynamic grouping of related e-mail and document items for faster navigation in Outlook.
* Seamless harvesting of existing Outlook e-mail into the Mimecast archive.
Currently, Mimecast offers a single solution for e-mail security, continuity and archiving delivered on-demand via the Web from secure geographically dispersed redundant data centres, with `carrier grade` infrastructure.
"With the majority of our 1000+ customers heavily invested in Microsoft platforms and infrastructure, Mimecast`s new services will further enable a seamless symbiotic relationship with its on-premise messaging and collaboration systems," commented Garth Wittles, MD of Mimecast SA.
