Mail Server Data Management & Email Backup

According to Osterman Research, email storage is growing at an average rate of 35% annually.  That growth is going to create remarkable storage challenges for organizational message servers, and records retention requirements will also contribute to the situation.

An IT benefit of the SaaS (software as a service) delivery model that Smarsh employs is the ability to free up valuable storage space and optimize server performance by "off-loading" data. Remove content from your messaging server and migrate it to an archiving platform, designed to cost-effectively manage higher volumes.  Retain older messages for longer periods of time in a hosted environment.   Maintain access to and ownership of all of your information, and don't worry about deploying and managing the infrastructure or hardware and software upgrades.  In general, the less content that a messaging server contains, the faster it can be restored from backups following a server crash, an application upgrade or patch gone awry, and so forth.

Most service providers offer secure and redundant data storage with email backup, but this is an area with a few significant differentiating factors between vendors. Smarsh does not charge incremental price increases based on storage or disk space, significantly cutting down on costs for traditional email backup.  Given regulatory retention requirements, and the exponential rate of email volume growth, storage costs from other providers typically will double - if not triple - an organization’s monthly service charges.  As your company grows, what are you going to be paying for message archiving next year, in two years or even five years down the road?
