(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Providing a value-added email archiving and e-discovery service to the Novell GroupWise Community, cloud-powered, universal data management company Sonian (www.sonian.net) has partnered with software developer Novell (www.novell.com) to create the first and only cloud-hosted archiving solution for Novell GroupWise.
According to its Tuesday announcement, the Sonian Archive Service provides “an affordable, scalable, reliable, secure and feature-rich hosted email archiving and e-discovery service” to Novell GroupWise users of all sizes. Also, tight integration between hosted service and GroupWise ensures compliance with all government regulations, full archive management for both GroupWise administrators and ready end-user access.
“On a technical level, Sonian and GroupWise have worked very closely together to incorporate the GroupWise Trusted Application API into the Sonian platform so that the Sonian Archive service can safely and securely capture GroupWise emails,” Novell GroupWise product marketing manager Travis Grandpre said in a statement. “The combination of Sonian’s unique Cloud-based architecture and powerful search engine gives GroupWise customers an unparalleled email archive and e-discovery platform that promises to get even stronger and more sophisticated over time.”
Sonian Archive enables GroupWise users to get up and running quickly without investing in any additional hardware or software infrastructure. The Sonian user interface can be accessed directly through the GroupWise 8 client so that users can manage their live mailbox and archive through a single, familiar interface.
For around $3 and $5 per month, Sonian Archive provides cloud-based email archiving and other user-generated content, satisfying all governance, risk and compliance requirements, as well as litigation support, e-discovery, storage resource management, and business continuity.
Sonian Archive offers Novell GroupWise customers compliant archiving, which prevents users from removing messages from their Trash until they have been successfully captured by the Sonian collection service in a compliant and secure way. For data retrieval, Sonian Archive keeps all data online and immediately accessible and searchable from any Internet connection at any time.
And without the need to retain large GroupWise databases, GroupWise performance actually improves — timeframes for backup and restoration windows shorten and upgrading to new service packs and versions of GroupWise becomes easier.lobal_Data_Center_Availability
