HP and Legato target email archiving boom
Hewlett-Packard and Legato are looking to capitalise on the expected surge in the email archiving market by including enterprise email archiving systems as part of their combined offerings to new and existing customers.
With new laws stipulating how long companies must archive their emails, enterprises are looking for solutions that can help them manage the huge amounts of information they are now required to keep.
Bob Schultz, vice president, HP Network Storage Solutions, said: "Close collaboration with partners like LEGATO enables HP to address customer needs with valuable, business-oriented solutions. Together, the companies are creating a powerful customer solution and a premier channel to address the growing archiving market."
With the expanded relationship, HP is reselling LEGATO EmailXtender as part of a solution for providing comprehensive data storage and retrieval for enterprise email. The EmailXtender family supports Microsoft Exchange/Outlook, Lotus Notes/Domino, Bloomberg Mail and UNIX Sendmail, as well as instant messaging.
"Having listened to our customers, HP and LEGATO will be extending our existing relationship to offer industry-leading active archiving solutions and services," said David B. Wright, chairman and chief executive officer, LEGATO Systems. "As email retention continues to be a high customer priority, both HP and LEGATO have individually announced offerings to help meet these demands. Our expanded relationship will provide us with the opportunity to deliver a comprehensive solution to assist organisations in meeting their email and messaging requirements."
