And when Mimecast said they could deliver a service that included security, DR, continuity and archiving at a competitive price point to what we were already paying for virus and spam protection alone it was practically a done deal" Jayson Dudley, Head of UK IT, Mazars

According to industry analysts, email volume in organizations is growing by more than 30% annually, and the average user receives 7MB of data per day via email. As a result of this growth, the handling of email has become a critical business, IT and regulatory issue – driving
the need for email archiving solutions. Most organizations looking for an email archiving solution are motivated by four reasons: mailbox/server management, compliance/records retention, eDiscovery/litigation support, and knowledge management/IP protection. In addition to these challenges, IT departments want to know how to control costs of the email environment, while keeping important data accessible for business, legal and regulatory users.

The Growing Email Archiving Dilemma.pdf 1.03 MB

Today’s litigious and regulatory environments mean organizations are obligated to electronically store information to support discovery and disclosure requests. Organizations that archive email in a ‘fractured’ environment risk losing control and may struggle to produce evidential-quality email evidence.

The need to be close to customers, manufacturing facilities and specialized labor have required organizations to extend the traditional concept of "headquarters" to offices and factories hundreds or even thousands of miles away. However, along with the opportunities that come with workforce globalization, come the realities of dealing with data that sprawls across the organization. Whether the data is at the Munich branch or at HQ in New York, it is equally susceptible to loss, requiring that data recovery and security plans apply to all parts of the organization, regardless of location. Riverbed offers a family of appliances designed to work with your existing data and network infrastructure. Riverbed Steelhead appliances can accelerate your centralized backup and recovery processes, reduce bandwidth usage, and enable data and IT consolidation.

Enterprises need uninterrupted business continuity for critical applications delivered over their global networks, but face an explosion of bandwidth requirements for less critical applications. Pressures on IT departments to reduce expenses are stronger than ever, making purchases of additional bandwidth difficult and often unaffordable. A solution gaining momentum in large enterprises is combining the carrier-class quality and availability of MPLS networks with the high-bandwidth capacity of a low-cost Internet VPN - a hybrid networking strategy.

With the growing importance of anywhere, anytime access for an increasingly dispersed workforce, IT managers are continually looking for ways to accelerate application performance across the wide area network (WAN). Point products are available to improve one or another aspect of WAN performance, such as insufficient or congested bandwidth, impaired application performance, slow remote backup and replication, or obstacles to IT consolidation. However, IT managers would like a comprehensive wide-area solution that addresses all of these problems, so that users can enjoy LAN-like access to important data and applications regardless of their location. One company that is offering the benefits of wide-area data services (WDS) is Riverbed, whose product line, the Steelhead family of appliances, optimizes TCP/IP traffic and provides further application optimization to make it easier for organizations to accelerate the most important applications for users anywhere in the world.

How WAN Governance improves business performance
After budget cuts during the global recession, many enterprises in 2010 will operate with IT spending at 2005 budget levels. Given the dependence on wide area networks for operational performance and enterprise growth, WAN Governance, a strategic and business - driven approach to network management within IT Governance, will become even more critical for executives to achieve business goals.

Converged Infrastructure:
A converged infrastructure enables an organisation to do more with fewer resources. Converged Infrastructure solutions drive business agility, innovation and performance improvements, while reducing risk, complexity and cost.
IT proliferation has stretched many businesses to breaking point, and business agility is severely constrained. Converged infrastructure, a holistic solution that enables all end user sub systems to work in tandem on a single IP network, offers new and more effective ways of working which address the following typical challenges:

• Escalating IT management and administration costs
• A desire to move mission-critical environments to standards-based infrastructure
• Limited datacenter space; need to improve server consolidation, virtualisation, and utilisation
• Risk associated with older legacy systems
• A need to grow and scale capacity in line with shrinking IT budgets
• Break free of proprietary solutions to achieve true inter-operability through the adoption of open industry standards
• An approach to unifying multiple communications methods: voice, e-mail, messaging, video etc
• Security threats

A highly secure, immutable archive of all email, typically with ten year retention period and unlimited volumes. With near-instant search capabilities and eDiscovery tools sets. Also offering a full audit trail for complete end to end management and compliance. All at a fixed fee/user/annum - irrespective of the size of data store.

Mimecast offers the ability to continue working normally should primary email servers fail, guaranteeing 100% email uptime regardless of planned/unplanned downtime of email server. Seamless and immediate failover (RTO) with no loss of data (RPO). No high availability needed, so neither offsite back-up or dual application deployments are required. And your reputation and risks associated with downtime are no longer a concern.

Planned for release by end of July, Mimecast will eliminate downtime for BlackBerry users by providing an email continuity service which covers outages of the Exchange server, the BES server and even delivers email continuity during RIM NOC failure.

Mimecast offers highly customisable, real-time policy application for all elements of the service - including email disclaimer and branding management as well as a wide range of additional features such as email routing options.

Industry leading anti-spam and anti-malware SLAs, combined with advanced Data Leak Prevention and encryption capabilities. Mimecast protects against phishing, spam, malware - prevents DHA and DOS and prevents IP leaving organisation with DLP policies.
