Legal Compliance Addition For Microsoft Exchange Servers
August 17th, 2006: Legal compliance drives greater emphasis on email storage and management.
Mimosa Systems has announced version 2.0 of Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange Server. NearPointcombines email information archiving, eDiscovery, regulatory compliance, data protection, disaster recovery and storage optimisation. Version 2.0 of Mimosa NearPoint expands its capabilities to meet eDiscovery and regulatory compliance demands, providing scalable access to a repository of historical email information via search tools and collaborative workflow processes.
Version 2.0 of Mimosa NearPoint (for Microsoft Exchange Server) introduces two new options: eDiscovery and Compliance Storage. The NearPoint eDiscovery Option adds discovery capabilities to, claims Mimosa, improve the cost and time associated with performing complex email discoveries by allowing for workflow and collaboration across multiple investigators.
NearPoint eDiscovery includes fully integrated support for "tamperproof" media such as Content Addressable Storage (CAS) and Write Once Read Many (WORM) to ensure record-level retention and disposition of email and attachments.
"The rules and regulations governing financial services, government, healthcare, education and other regulated industries have become increasingly stringent when it comes to email archiving, retention and e-discovery. Proper support for compliance, corporate governance and litigation requirements is imperative," said Mike Karp, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates.
Version 2.0 of Mimosa NearPoint includes the following new features:
- Rapid Search and Discovery: The NearPoint eDiscovery Option allows auditors and legal staff to quickly perform large and sophisticated search and discovery of all Exchange items including emails, calendar entries and contacts.
- Complete Conversation Thread and Message History: NearPoint's full message fidelity provides a total view of email information for the reconstruction of complex conversation threads and user behavior for litigation support and investigations.
- Discovery Workgroup Collaboration: The NearPoint eDiscovery Option provides discovery teams with a workflow to search, hold, review, tag and export results, and supports efficient collaboration by enabling sharing of results.
- Compliance Support for SEC Rule 17a-4: NearPoint now supports EMC Centera immutable storage devices with complete integration and seamless operation.
