With organizations in both the private and public sectors depending heavily upon email communication, email archiving has become a requirement for organizations across all verticals regardless of size. Archiving helps satisfy regulatory requirements in industries like finance, healthcare, government and many others that require the secure capture, long term storage and rapid electronic discovery of email data. Email archiving is also extremely beneficial in helping organizations address a number of operational concerns such as escalating capacity on email servers, backup and business continuity.
“To be included in the Cool Vendor in Archiving report by Gartner is very exciting for Sonian and in my opinion is further confirmation of our vision to provide an affordable, scalable and secure archiving and eDiscovery service to all businesses to help them with their email retention and discovery needs”, said George Nichols, CEO of Sonian. “We are continuing our mission to leverage cloud based computing and storage infrastructures to help all organizations unlock the power of information contained within their email and further enhance our market position.”
A key finding within the Gartner Cool Vendors report showed that “some in-house archiving installation are beginning to outgrow their initial storage solutions and will need to migrate to more-scalable and cost- effective solutions.” “Sonian provides unlimited storage to all our customers with no additional or hidden fees,” said George Nichols, CEO of Sonian. “Many of our customers and partners have exhausted their initial in-house archiving storage allocation and have found Sonian the best decision, especially during these uncertain economic times.”
