In support of organisations under increasing regulatory pressure to comply with federal mandates for e-mail retention, EMC, Iron Mountain and KVS have joined forces to deliver e-mail archiving solutions.
Whether an organisation is looking for a solution to deploy in-house or prefers to outsource its e-mail archives, EMC, KVS and Iron Mountain will address the organisation`s industry-specific e-mail retention requirements with a customised, integrated solution.
The end-to-end e-mail archiving solutions offered by the three companies combine EMC`s Centera content addressed storage (CAS) system, KVS`s Enterprise Vault for Microsoft Exchange and Iron Mountain`s Designated Third Party Services.
Alex Robertson, country systems engineering and professional services manager at EMC SA, says that as more companies are affected by increasingly stringent e-mail retention regulations, they need help developing and maintaining compliant IT infrastructures.
"The integrated solutions and services combine regulatory experience with technology innovation, offering organisations a compelling alternative to going it alone in achieving and maintaining compliance."
Customers choosing this solution can realise regulatory compliance through insourcing, outsourcing or a combination of the two. Key components of an integrated solution from the three companies include: e-mail mailbox management and compliance supervision from KVS; long-term e-mail archiving, indexing and Designated Third Party Services from Iron Mountain; or long-term, compliant online storage media from EMC Centera.
The joint solutions employ EMC Centera content addressing technology to provide online access and assured long-term content authenticity of e-mail archives. Centera`s content authenticity features have prompted its recognition as the first disk-based WORM (write once, read many) storage medium and its self-healing capabilities ensure e-mail integrity for organisations that must retain and retrieve e-mail for extended periods of time.
"Secure, reliable e-mail retention and retrieval has become a top priority for institutions across nearly every industry. The joint solutions take full advantage of Centera`s content authentication and self-healing features, offering customers e-mail integrity and fast, online retrieval."
