April 7, 2004 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — AT&T (att.com) introduced AT&T Email Archiving on Tuesday, a fully managed service the company says will help businesses and government agencies deal with growing storage requirements and federal data retention regulations that mandate more stringent documentation requirements.
AT&T Email Archiving removes and archives email and attachments from their prodcution environment and transmits them to an AT&T data center facility where it is indexed, stored in its original format and retrievable by the end user. The service’s technology is based on technologies from EMC Corporation (emc.com) and KVS Inc. (kvsinc.com).
“As we continue to expand our storage portfolio, we are addressing a critical market need for an e-mail archiving solution,” says Eric Shepcaro, vice president of emerging services at AT&T. “We are focused on providing customers with a managed option that gives them an alternative to doing it themselves.”
AT&T operates 21 data centers around the world and has plans to add four more this year.
