Operator of One of the Busiest Airports in the World Standardizes on Mimosa NearPoint to Enable End-User Search, Retrieval and Retention of Vital Email and Business Records
Santa Clara, Calif .– January 20, 2009 –Mimosa Systems, a leader in next-generation email and file archiving solutions, today announced that Miami-Dade Aviation Department, operator of Miami International Airport (MIA), has selected Mimosa NearPoint™ next-generation content archiving solution to securely and efficiently protect its vital email information for simplified discovery, retrieval and retention.
Among one of the busiest airports in the world, Miami International Airport is served by eighty airlines, which provide service to 150 destinations around the globe. Ranked in 2007 among U.S. airports No. 1 in international freight and No. 3 in international passengers, the airport supports travel needs for an average of over 648,000 passengers a week. To support this very active airport, Miami-Dade Aviation uses email communication for many of its critical business processes, resulting in staggering data growth and management complexity for its IT staff.
To help control rapid information growth, Miami-Dade Aviation was constraining its email users with strict mailbox size quotas. As a result, many users were storing data in PST files – personal email folders that store email data on an individual’s computer. Yet, PST files can be difficult to access, search and store, since they reside locally on individual machines, which can also pose an information security risk. Even worse, if a PST file becomes too large it can become easily corrupted causing significant data loss. Miami-Date Aviation initiated a selection process to identify a comprehensive email archiving solution that would reduce server storage requirements, remove mailbox size quotas and eliminate PST files while allowing for fast and easy recovery. Miami-Dade Aviation selected Mimosa NearPoint with its PST Archiving Option and out of the box ‘one-click’ disaster recovery.
“Mimosa NearPoint will simplify the storage management of our Exchange servers because it puts more control into the hands of our end-users,” said Cesar Lopez, network manager, Information Systems Division, Miami-Dade Aviation. “Now our users will have greater access, search and recovery of their data, when they want it, without calling IT first. It also doesn’t require the installation of any agents on the client machines, which reduces network management, interoperability, I/O and memory considerations. It is exactly the comprehensive solution we were looking for.”
Top advantages of the Mimosa NearPoint solution for Miami-Dade Aviation include:
“For organizations in the fast-moving aviation industry, Mimosa NearPoint offers significant benefits for administrators and end users alike,” said T.M. Ravi, CEO, Mimosa Systems. “By ensuring complete data capture, optimizing storage requirements and enabling self-service search and ‘one-click’ recovery, NearPoint is the most comprehensive unified archiving solution available so transportation organizations can keep email moving as efficiently as their business.”
