Because email dominates communication in most organizations, the handling and storage of messages is a key concern for CIOs and IT professionals alike. For legal reasons, as well as to ensure efficient and cost-effective business processes, organizations need an archiving system that provides secure, verifiable storage. Fast retrieval of messages is equally important for a number of reasons.

With several megabytes of messages per user typically flowing each day, archiving must not only be scaled to enterprise-class email volumes, but also be designed to ensure continuous availability so business activities are not interrupted. An effective solution needs to address storage, auditing, accessibility, security, and search issues. Analysts agree that more and more of the world’s largest corporations are discovering that a cloud-based archiving solution represents a highly effective approach to the challenge.
