eFolder Announces Release of Exchange Email Archiving Service

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 30, 2009

eFolder, Inc., a leader in providing branded online backup and local backup solutions, announced today a new email archiving and mailbox storage management service for Microsoft Exchange email servers. This new service allows eFolder's Partners to compete in the billion dollar email archiving industry by combining eFolder's award-winning backup technology with the ability to seamlessly store all archived email offsite in a secure location, as well as to actively manage mailbox storage requirements through message deduplication and automatic removal of content into secondary storage.

eFolder's new integrated backup and branded email archiving services provide secure email retention and restoration at the message level, full-text search of archived content, message deduplication, mailbox content migration based on quotas or message age, message stubbing and message removal. The tension on Exchange servers caused by exploding storage requirements and fixed-size quotas can also be eased through automatic content migration. Additionally, end-users can search for and restore message content right from within Outlook without requiring a plugin, saving both users and administrators time and frustration.

eFolder now makes it simple to meet any corporate, legal, or regulatory archiving requirements for painlessly auditing, storing, managing, monitoring, and recovering archived email information. The service is fully integrated into the eFolder Partner web portal, allowing eFolder Partners to monitor the status of all email archiving services right alongside the status of all backup services all on one screen.

"Our latest release lets us take the clear leadership position in the data backup and protection industry by integrating two very important services that our partners can easily and profitably deliver to their customers," said Kevin Hoffman, CTO of eFolder. "Our fully featured, enterprise-ready Exchange email archiving service gives us a far superior solution than that delivered by run-of-the-mill brick-level backups offered by some of our competition."

"We've been delighted to be an eFolder Partner for years and this new capability is just another example of how eFolder is providing the best remote backup solutions in the industry," stated Laura Stewart, Managing Partner, Guardian Angel Computers. "We can now deliver another important brandable service to our customers through the reliable eFolder infrastructure upon which we depend while creating additional recurring revenue."

The new eFolder email archiving service includes the following major features:

•     Completely brandable email archiving software.
•     Very competitive pricing based on a per-mailbox-per-month basis.
•     Instant provisioning and instant software download; 15-minute software setup.
•     Flexible archiving criteria based on quotas, age, size, sender, and location.
•     Deduplication of archive content.
•     Ability for Outlook users to restore from and search the archive without a plug-in.
•     Storage of archived information on any file system, including NAS devices.
•     Automatic migration of content between storage tiers based on age.
•     Web-based monitoring of the status of all email archiving services.

The new email archiving service is immediately available to all existing eFolder Partners and on a trial basis to prospective Partners and to Partners' end-user customers. Email archiving and data backup services can be bundled together or sold separately by eFolder Partners.
