Fortiva Updates Email Archiving Capabilities

November 9th, 2006: Email archiving provider Fortiva has added a host of new features to its outsource solution that it says improves the reliability of data and provides easier access.

Fortiva says that the volume of email is growing faster than most business have predicted, making long term in-house retention difficult.

Outsourcing and managed services are growing in popularity as more specialised data centres open. Email in particular, can be one of the first areas considered for outsourcing as it not only has volatile storage requirements, but also because outsourcing it often enables greater levels of compliance and security from spam, viruses and phishing.

Fortiva features DoubleBlind Encryption technology, to secure data, while this upgrade brings forward continuous data validation (CDV) service to regularly scan archived data for errors and identify and prevent corruption during long-term storage, a full message audit trail, and an appliance set-up wizard.

Reliability is the key here for Fortiva though.

“With most email archiving solutions, users have no way of knowing that data hasn’t been corrupted after prolonged periods of storage,” says Chris Tebo, Chief Technology Officer for Fortiva. “Our new continuous data protection and remote management features allow customers to have a maintenance-free email archive that provides the highest level of reliability available.”
