MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- PostPath, creator of the only email and collaboration server that is a drop-in alternative to Microsoft Exchange, today launched the PostPath Server Archive Edition. For the first time, simple, inexpensive and efficient email archiving is available to small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that need to retain copies of some or all of their email communications, but lack the time and resources to implement more complicated and expensive third-party Exchange archiving solutions.
As email has grown to become one of the primary methods of communication for businesses of all sizes, maintaining complete email archives has become increasingly important. This is particularly true for businesses required to comply with regulations such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures surrounding eDiscovery (FRCP) which applies to any U.S. business that finds itself involved in litigation as well as Sarbanes-Oxley and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Today, businesses looking to implement email eDiscovery with Microsoft Exchange face an unpalatable choice. They can implement high-end third-party solutions that interface with Exchanges Journaling mechanism, but these solutions are expensive and implementing Journaling can cause significant performance degradation. Or they can do nothing and hope that they are not subject to litigation that would force them to cycle back through racks of old backups.
PostPath simple-forward archiving solves these problems by creating a simple repository for eDiscovery searches, without the expense of third-party solutions or burdening infrastructure with the performance and management hit of Journaling.
In addition to fulfilling eDiscovery needs, PostPath Server Archive Edition gives administrators immediate access to every old and current message in the system, enabling the fastest and most convenient form of on-demand message recovery. As a result, PostPath Server Archive Edition, when combined with PostPaths standards-based backup and/or high-availability mechanisms, completes customers messaging data protection strategy.
