Mimosa and NetApp Partner to Provide Shadowless Archive to Streamline Storage Management and Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANTA CLARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/14/09 --
Mimosa Systems, the leader in
next-generation email, file, and SharePoint
archiving solutions, today announced further integration between Mimosa
NearPoint(TM) and NetApp® storage and data management solutions.
Together, the two companies have developed a comprehensive solution for
shadowless archiving, storage
management and data
protection for Microsoft Exchange environments.
The Mimosa NearPoint archive leverages NetApp's Snapshot(TM) technology as
the source for archived data and the compliant archival of data capture for
all Exchange database transactions and events. This includes all email,
moves, message deletes, calendar items and contacts. In addition, customers
can simplify application data management leveraging NetApp's SnapManager
for Microsoft Exchange, which automates complex, manual, and time-consuming
processes associated with the backup, recovery, and verification of
Exchange Server databases while eliminating the need to implement Exchange
Journaling.
"Today's business users rely on Microsoft Exchange as a business-critical
application. As a result, uncontrolled email growth can be crippling to IT
budgets," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Solutions Marketing for
NetApp. "Together, NetApp and Mimosa are working to deliver deeper
integration to curtail the spiraling management costs IT organizations face
in storing, retaining, retrieving, and recovering Exchange data."
A good example of the value of Mimosa and NetApp's integration is at work
in the Chichester School District. With 4,000 K-12 students supported by a
teaching staff of 700, the Chichester School District in Boothwyn, Pa.
protects its data using a NetApp SAN. To further safeguard and manage its
email content, Chichester standardized on Mimosa NearPoint to enable
simplified content management, disaster recovery and record retention
requirements in a unified solution.
"We needed an archiving solution to free our users from mailbox limit
constraints and reduce our overall storage costs," said Tim McGrath, senior
network administrator, Chichester School District. "Mimosa NearPoint was
the only solution we evaluated that could deliver an all in one solution
without impacting the performance of our Exchange server. The expanded
integration between Mimosa NearPoint and NetApp's SnapManager for Exchange
will deliver additional value to organizations that need to archive and
store content long-term for compliance purposes."
In addition to the new integration with NetApp SnapManager for Exchange,
Mimosa NearPoint also offers comprehensive integration with several other
NetApp technologies, including NetApp SnapManager® for SQL Server,
SnapDrive®, SnapMirror®, and FlexVol®. The integration leverages
NetApp's cascading Snapshot technology for archived data protection,
resulting in a combined solution that features a storage footprint that is
smaller to deploy, faster to recover and lower in overall management costs.
The NetApp-Mimosa solution also centralizes the management of disaster
recovery and retention policies so IT organizations can assure compliance
with corporate governance and regulatory mandates while streamlining
overall storage management processes for user generated content including
email, calendar information, IMs and files. Ultimately, this reduces
overall management costs while increasing IT administration staff
productivity.
"Our ongoing integration partnership with NetApp enables Mimosa to assure
seamless protection of the entire messaging environment -- from the
Exchange Server to the archive while lowering storage costs," said T.M.
Ravi, CEO, Mimosa Systems. "The NetApp-Mimosa combination assures the
best-in-class archiving companies' demand for the critical Exchange data
that has become the vital core of their business operations."
