Strengthened archiving platform allows organizations to control storage costs while supporting requirements for term data retention and recovery.

Mimosa Systems, a provider of Live Content Archiving solutions, today announced the Mimosa NearPoint Tiered Storage OptionTM. The company states that its new solution is an add-on module to its nearpoint live content archiving platform that delivers policy-based automation to map email and file information access to granular business service level requirements. It also states that nearpoint TSO allows organizations to control storage costs while supporting legal and compliance requirements for long term data retention and recovery.

The company claims that with archived file and email data projected to grow 55 percent CAGR and 73 percent CAGR respectively from 2007 to 2012, both storage costs and the operational burdens to manage this growth will be significant. It articulates that electronic discovery and information search of the corporate archive are necessitating faster access in order to meet litigation requests and business objectives surrounding information retention and availability. It adds that it is the first to deliver access to its massively scalable live content archive while decelerating both capital and operational requirements to meet this growing industry demand.

''Corporate archives are rapidly growing due to long term retention requirements and the massive amounts of user-generated content being generated in all areas of business,'' said Scott Whitney, vice president of product management for Mimosa Systems. ''With NearPoint TSO, Mimosa once again delivers a next-generation solution that supports retention and on-demand access for large volumes of information with unmatched performance and radically lower costs. Customers enjoy savings across hardware, software and IT operations and satisfaction knowing their service level objectives are being met to reduce exposure and minimize risk.''
