Mimosa Systems Next-Generation Email Archiving Solution Receives Top Marks in Redmond Magazine MVP Product Review

Mimosa NearPoint Receives Top Score in Redmond Roundup Ranking Over Quest and CA

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Mimosa Systems, a leader in next-generation email, file and SharePoint archiving solutions, today announced that it received top marks in a recent Redmond Magazine MVP product review. The Redmond Roundup reviewed three Exchange Server applications from Mimosa, Quest and CA, with Mimosa NearPoint receiving the highest rating of a score of 9.4.

According to J. Peter Bruzzese of Redmond Magazine, "One of the features I really enjoyed learning about when running through a live discussion with the folks at Mimosa Systems was the SME ("Smart Message Extract") process, which runs completely on the NearPoint server. SME breaks up the message information itself, as well as the properties of the message, including context information for folders, permissions and flags, and a record of whether the message was opened, edited, replied to, forwarded or deleted. Now think about that for a moment. Not only do you have an archive of your e-mail, which puts you within legal compliance due to the nature of business these days, but you have the ability to tell if a message went to a person and if the person read it, simply marked it as read, forwarded it or so forth. If a person now says, 'I never saw that e-mail,' you can prove whether or not he opened it -- which could come in quite handy."

The Redmond Roundup identified the top reasons Exchange administrators might find Mimosa NearPoint of value including:

• Complete capture of Exchange data means being able to purge Exchange aggressively; there are customers doing 60- and 90-day deletes of Exchange because they know that the NearPoint archive has them covered
• Integrated recovery means better recovery point objectives and lower recovery time objectives; additionally, disk-based recovery means not having to restore backup tapes
• It's easy to deploy and maintain because there are no agents to install on Exchange or on user laptops or desktops
• It doesn't alter the existing Exchange environment
• It improves Exchange efficiency by not requiring MAPI crawls or journaling
• The eDiscovery module allows a legal department to conduct legal searches on its own and to execute legal hold on its own
• NearPoint's seamless end-user access via Outlook and .PST management tool, which allows users to continue to access their .PSTs in an Outlook view with folder hierarchies in place, keeps end users happy and not calling the help desk
