New SMB Email-Archiving White Paper Released
Addresses the Challenge Small to Midsized Businesses Face In Email Achieving Regulatory Compliance On a Budget
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (PRWEB) July 8, 2005 -- Intradyn announced today at the 2005 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (http://www.microsoftwwpartnerconference.com) the public availability of a white paper it has jointly published with its partner Sony Electronics (NYSE: SNY). The paper examines one of todays hottest technology and business issues: email archiving to achieve compliance with increasingly demanding laws and regulations, which require companies to (1) retain all their email, in some cases on non-alterable or WORM (write once, read many) media; and then (2) be capable of quickly accessing specific emails from those archives. The paper also addresses a hot sub-topic: secure encryption" of archived data.
The white paper, entitled Email-Archiving Regulatory Compliance for Small to Midsized Businesses (SMBs)," is available for download at http://www.intradyn.com/pdfs/EmailArchiving-IntradynSony.pdf. It presents, in easy-to-understand business terms, the background behind the email compliance issue, and the requirements of such rules as the SECs 17a-4. The latter affects a market estimated at more than 100,000 small to midsized firms, and this is not the only industry segment affected by email retention and availability regulations. Finally, the white paper presents a simple, automated solution that meets the two prime requirements of SMBs today: simplicity and affordability. This solution combines Intradyns ComplianceVault appliance and Sony® AIT tape technology and associated WORM tape media.
Specifically, the new Intradyn-Sony white paper addresses these important points about email archiving:
-The mission-critical nature of email today
-The need for archiving," and how it differs from backup"
-How encryption" of archived data, an increasing concern, can be a simple, affordable option
-The need for quick search and retrieval of email
-Why existing "enterprise" solutions for email archiving will not work for SMBs
-How an automated appliance" solution, combining the best of both disk and tape, can be an easy-to-implement answer to the problem of affordable email archiving for smaller firms
