Enhancements to Consonus SAFE™ Robust Content and Email Archiving Solution include eDiscovery and Journal Archiving in a Managed IT Services Configuration

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 16, 2009

Consonus Technologies today introduced the latest release of Consonus Secure Archiving for the Enterprise™ (Consonus SAFE™), a complete and cost-effective email archiving managed service solution which leverages Symantec Enterprise Vault™ email and content archiving software in a hosted, managed IT services offering.

Consonus SAFE™ offers the power of Symantec, the cost-effectiveness and simplicity of a Managed IT Service, and the stability and security of 20 Years of Consonus SAS70 Type II audited Data Center Excellence. As one of the leading Enterprise Vault™ integrators, Consonus was recognized as Symantec's Channel Partner of the Year in 2008.

Consonus SAFE™ is designed to reduce customer's storage footprint, and has a flexible policy engine for managing compliance and message stores. The latest release of Consonus SAFE™ features the Discovery Accelerator which facilitates the discovery process and reduces associated cost - ideal for litigation support and dispute resolution in both the enterprise and legal communities. The new Journal Archiving feature of Consonus SAFE™ works seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange journaling and message archival service to immediately capture all messages passing through the server with no impact or notice to users.

With a Managed IT Services deployment of Enterprise Vault™, Consonus SAFE™ addresses business archiving challenges with minimal up-front capital investment and pay-as-you go options for storage and services. Consonus SAFE™ offers your business faster data recovery via high-speed provisioning, smaller data stores and elimination of extraneous archiving on individual desktops.

During an initial proof of concept at Consonus client Kapstone Paper and Packaging Company, Consonus SAFE™ provided an 86 percent file size reduction in just two weeks. Consonus SAFE™ is now fully deployed at Kapstone, who estimates a 280 percent ROI within three years. Cost savings and investment returns are a result of reclaimed existing storage, the elimination of outsourcing storage, and reduced administrative burden and costs.

Consonus itself uses Consonus SAFE™ to securely and efficiently storage, manage, and enable the recovery of the company's more than 140 email accounts for which are saved more than 1 million messages representing over 82 gigabytes of storage.

Consonus SAFE™ is a turnkey package, featuring subscription licenses, a tiered storage model, compute resources, 'round the clock access for administration, and 24x7x365 Consonus award-winning technical support.

Like all Consonus services, SAFE™ is securely housed in Consonus' national data centers which are managed to SAS70 Type II specifications. Consonus SAFE™ is secure, scalable, and built upon the proven, highly-resilient architectures that Consonus has operated for more than 20 years.
