SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) March 24, 2004 - Messaging Architects, a Novell Premier Level DeveloperNet partner and provider of enterprise-class solutions that address the needs for policy, security, and mobility in the GroupWise infrastructure, and CaminoSoft Corp., a Novell development partner and leading provider of storage management and high availability solutions for NetWare, will be showcasing the new GWArchive Storage Manager, an Information Lifecycle Management solution on Email Regulatory Compliance, created specifically for the Novell GroupWise environment, at Novell BrainShare 2004 in Salt Lake City from March 21-26, 2004.

"The combination of Messaging Architects' GWArchive software and CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM software provides a powerful Information Lifecycle Management solution for Novell GroupWise environments. Given the growing reliance on email as the preferred choice of correspondence, numerous organizations are increasingly faced with myriad federal and state regulations governing email storage, access, retention, archiving, and deletion, evident especially in industries such as banking, financial securities, and accounting," explained Richard Krueger, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at CaminoSoft.

According to Gartner, compliance requirements will account for 50% of investment in content and business process management systems in 2004, encompassing applications to control unstructured content, such as email, and meeting industry-specific regulatory obligations. Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions improve the scalability and manageability of the ever-growing storage infrastructures.

Novell GroupWise users will benefit from GWArchives powerful email storage and retention capabilities. Coupled with the Policy Manager, the Storage Manager provides the architecture for implementing a solid mechanism of email retention and migration that both fulfills regulatory obligations and takes into account performance considerations" said Charles Nguyen-Huu, Director of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at Messaging Architects. We chose CaminoSoft because of their leading position in the HSM space. The integration of Storage Manager has made GWArchive without a doubt the most powerful email archiving, storage, and retention solution for GroupWise."

GWArchive Storage Manager enables organizations to enforce automated policies that facilitate compliance with file storage, retention, access, archiving, and deletion regulations. It allows administrators to set consistent retention/deletion policies that are automatically invoked and which enable conformity with governmental mandates and oversight. According to Krueger, At the same time, this solution allows customers to reclaim vast amounts of their most-expensive storage (e.g., SAN) resources. Seldom accessed messages and attachments can be readily migrated to less-expensive storage (e.g., ATA/RAID, NAS…) resources and to write-once archival media based on prescribed ILM policies and in conformity with current legislation requirements."

It addresses the issue of compliance with email storage, retention, access, archiving, and deletion regulations.
