Sonasoft offers an e-mail
archiving solution that has
been specifically
architected for the SMB
market. Sonasoft offers
business continuity to
small to medium
enterprise's business with
full protection of mission
critical data at all times.
Unlike other e‐mail
archiving vendors on the
market today, Sonasoft
offers a fully integrated
and automated solution
for archiving, data backup
and recovery architected
to minimize SMB costs.
The following sections
outline how Sonasoft's
email archiving software is
differentiated in the
market place when
compared to other
competitive solutions.
Sonasoft provides
separate business
continuity applications
that can become a fully
integrated solution that
includes Backup, Disaster
Recovery, Replication, and
Archiving all while being
server agnostic.
Customers
can add functionality
without having to go
through an extensive
installation process. Most
importantly, SMBs do not
have to integrate
applications from
separate vendors by
themselves. By combining
the various components
of the individual
applications, the SMB
gains a tremendous
advantage by leveraging
the architecture of the
Sonasoft solution to
receive enterprise
functionality and
scalability at a fraction of
the cost.
Sonasoft's technology and
products are designed
from the ground up for
the SMB who is using the
Windows operating
system. When compared
to the product offerings
of the main competitors
that were built with the
larger enterprise in mind,
Sonasoft's email archiving
solutions work much
better in an SMB
environment.
As a security measure and
in order to comply with
legal and statutory
requirements, an
organization can impose
certain restrictions on
internal and external
email communication.
Sonasoft is one of the few
archiving solutions for the
SMB that actually
implements this important
feature by automatically
flagging messages that
appear to violate such a
policy.
There are many benefits
to e-mail archiving and
they are listed below:
The first benefit is to aid
the SMB in meeting legal
requirements: Compliance
to regulatory
requirements such as
Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA,
SEC 17a-4 and the Patriot
Act (to name just a few).
All these legal
requirements specify how
to manage the email
lifecycle: which emails to
keep and for how long,
and which emails to
dispose of and when. In
the case of legal action
the email archive should
be fully indexed and
searchable, so that that
retrieving emails is done
as efficiently as possible.
This saves SMBs from
paying costly lawyer fees
for manual searching of
printed e-mails.
A second benefit is
improved system
performance and reduced
costs. When e-mails are
archived, they are
removed from a central e-
mail server. Mail box sizes
decrease which results in
the need for less
expensive disk storage
and reduced back-up and
restore times. There is
also quicker access to the
now smaller mailboxes
and better protection of
e-mails in the case of an
outage or maintenance
window.
