Iron Mountain Digital extends eRecords management portfolio with new Active Archiving Service for Email
~ new service addresses complexities of email management and completes total email management suite ~

March 12, 2007- Iron Mountain Digital has introduced its Active Archiving Service for Email, a comprehensive solution for managing email storage, retention and legal discovery.

The new archiving service can reduce the size of email stores by as much as 80 per cent and completes the Total Email Management Suite from Iron Mountain Digital, the technology arm of Iron Mountain Incorporated. The suite provides email storage management, discovery, continuity, disaster recovery and security services in a single, cost-effective solution.

The new Active Archiving Service for Email, delivered via a partnership with MessageOne, is available on its own or as part of Iron Mountain's Total Email Management suite, which also includes:

• Continuity Service for Email, a managed service that can be rapidly activated following a network interruption, facilities outage or other event that disables an organisation's primary email system
• Security Service for Email, a managed service that automatically eliminates spam, viruses, and unwanted content from the email environment.

Email is a vital business application, yet its benefits are offset by numerous costs and risks. All companies, regardless of size or industry, must contend with increasing volumes of email that strain the capacity and reliability of their email servers. This is compounded by new eDiscovery regulations that require legally defensible retention policies and quick access to emails in the event of legal action. These can impact productivity as employees and IT staff spend time managing email instead of focusing on core business activities.

"It is critical for all companies to have a reliable and cost-effective archiving solution for email," said Nick Cater, head of Northern Europe, Iron Mountain Digital. "With Iron Mountain's integrated, managed services, we can help companies reduce risks and exposures, along with managing the traditional burdens of email by eliminating downtime and reducing the costs of storage and management."

UK costs for the Total Email Management Suite start at £15 per user, per month.
