 Email Archiving, eDiscovery & Recovery
Success Stories
Learn how Mimosa’s customers are successfully conquering email archiving / email recovery, eDiscovery, disaster recovery, and mailbox management challenges. |
Review the State of Delaware’s email archiving solution  |
As a state that values adherence to strong data protection policies, the State of Delaware had adopted a self-mandated state litigation retention policy which called for the retention of all email data for a one-year period. To retain this growing data, the state had a backup and disaster recovery software solution that was adequate for information protection. But, the backup solution could not perform the sophisticated electronic discovery search and recovery tasks the state required.
After looking at all the large players, the State of Delaware soon selected Mimosa NearPoint™ because it was the only unified solution for eDiscovery, storage optimization, and disaster recovery. All the other vendors
took an antiquated approach using journaling. But Mimosa eliminated journaling with zero overhead on Exchange. NearPoint delivered archiving, eDiscovery, recovery, disaster recovery, and storage management in a single
integrated solution giving the State of Delaware all the features they needed.

Review Matthews International’s compliance solution
|
Matthews International currently has about 1,400 PC users, 350 Mac users, and more than 150 mobile phones, all requiring email management.

They made a decision to identify and install the best email archiving solution they could find to meet their main requirements.

Delivering archiving, eDiscovery, search and retrieval, disaster recovery, and storage management in one integrated solution, NearPoint provides the flexibility and protection Matthews was looking for.

Review Adomo’s Exchange
recovery solution
|
Adomo, Inc. provider of voice messaging and unified communications solutions that enable organizations to more smoothly migrate to VoIP and wireless technologies, was shopping for an email management solution.

"I was looking for a solution that would provide seamless access to data as well as perform archiving and recovery. We've tried brick-level backups but the impact on the Exchange server and the time it took did not make it a viable solution-we were looking for a complete solution to handle email management, archiving and recovery without any impact on Exchange."
Mimosa NearPoint reduced storage requirements on the Exchange Server while still providing seamless user access to email information so that users enjoy “unlimited mailboxes” without the storage management burden.

Review The Siegfried Group’s Exchange archiving solution

Microsoft Exchange Server is an important communication tool for The Siegfried Group. The Siegfried Group operates in 27 cities spread across the US and the majority of the company's employees are either remote or mobile. After three years of rapid growth, The Siegfried Group's total email data for 600 users had quickly grown to over 250GB.

"The primary reason I contacted Mimosa was performance," said Frank. "We had huge Exchange Stores. We could throw more servers and storage at Exchange, but did we really want to maintain 7 GB mailboxes? We went over all the variables and we decided our best solution was to reduce mailbox size."
