Iron Mountain Adds Hosted Email Management and Archiving

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — With email volume growing annually as the average user receives more data in their inbox every day, information protection and storage services provider Iron Mountain Incorporated (www.ironmountain.com) has announced that its digital archiving solution for email management is now available for customers in the UK. 

According to its Wednesday announcement at London’s Storage Expo (www.storage-expo.com), Iron Mountain’s Total Email Management Suite offers cost-effective, end-to-end control of email, including archiving, continuity, security and data leak prevention. The Total Email Management Suite is powered by Mimecast (www.mimecast.com) technology and hosted in Iron Mountain’s secure data centers.

“As organisations today continue to face significant risks and costs when it comes to email, the ability to securely manage and protect digital information has become more critical than ever before,” Iron Mountain UK and Ireland manager Richard Ellis said in a statement. “Just as customers have been turning to Iron Mountain for the storage and protection of their physical records, Iron Mountain Digital’s Storage-as-a-Service model offers secure, cost-effective storage and access to digital information, including email.”

The Total Email Management Suite helps companies closely manage their digital information and securely retain, recover, discover and delete email at the end of its lifecycle, while also providing email security and continuity. Customers can automatically and transparently archive of up to 10 years of email in a secure off-site location, which can be searched from their desktops. It also includes a spam filtering solution that stops 99 percent of spam and boasts a perfect track record for stopping viruses. Administrators are also allowed to set policies to detect and prevent key confidential or restricted information within emails and attachments from leaking to unauthorised persons.

The Total Email Management Suite is a critical part of Iron Mountain’s digital archiving business and Storage-as-a-Service portfolio, providing enterprise-grade, secure, low-cost and long-term storage services to help customers reduce the risk and cost of managing emails. With the recent launch of its enterprise-class, cloud-based storage archiving service, Virtual File Store, Iron Mountain continues to aggressively expand its enterprise-class cloud storage with value-added services including discovery, recovery, classification and retention, and destruction, to help organisations better manage and use their stored information.

“The Total Email Management Suite is a critical component of our digital archiving strategy – providing the rich functionality needed to protect and manage emails, enterprise-class security and necessary functionality in case of litigation, not to mention the peace of mind of a secure Iron Mountain hosted solution,” Ellis said.
