Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Outlook e-mail software? More new
choices seem to be coming into the market every few months.
The latest is from the venerable hard-document storage company Iron
Mountain, which launched an
expansion of its digital archiving platform for e-mail management on April 16.
The new package, called the Total Email Management Suite, offers what Iron
Mountain claims is a cost-effective, total end-to-end cloud-based alternative
to control e-mail that includes archiving, continuity, security and data leak
prevention.
All e-mail is hosted in Iron Mountain's
famously secure data centers. The suite securely retains, recovers, discovers
and deletes e-mail at the end of its life cycle, Iron
Mountain said.
There is no software for users to manage. They order the service and pay
monthly.
Users will have the ability to transfer their archived data, whether stored in Iron
Mountain's SEC-compliant e-mail
archive or its e-mail management solution, to Stratify's (an Iron
Mountain subsidiary) Legal Discovery
Services, should they require e-discovery support.
The question about any of service like this one, of course, is security and
availability. Can you get your e-mail any time you need it, and will it not get
lost or destroyed? A provider's reputation is everything in this
department.
In this case, Iron Mountain's
track record is hard to beat. The company has been building its storage safety
reputation since 1951, and no other IT company has been doing it for that long
a time.
The new service becomes available in May 2009. Pricing information is available
on consultation. For more information, go here.
