Email archiving is a critical requirement for every organisation, but it’s more than just email storage for the sake of record keeping and compliance. The smart buyer goes for an email archive solution that really works for you.

Mimecast Email Archive cuts the cost and complexity of secure, accessible email archiving. It gives your users instant access to every email they’ve ever sent or received and it gives you central control of email retention policies.

As much storage as you need, whenever you need it. No more email backups.

Our cloud-based platform stores all your email – internal and external – in a highly secure and resilient archive, giving you as much space as you need.  We charge by the number of users and offer a default ten-year storage period, so you get predictable storage costs. We also retain data for all employees past and present.

The result is:

• Reduced costs to store email
• A lighter load for your Exchange server
• Greater productivity – with staff able to access archived email in real-time and without the need for technical support
• No more user deletion or employees hoarding emails in PSTs
• Your business need never risk losing important data due to server, storage, budgetary, or mailbox constraints.

End user benefits:

• Bottomless mailboxes for end users
• Personal email archive access from MS Outlook via our standard MS Outlook interface
• 'Drag and drop' between Outlook and Mimecast archive
• Near real-time search
• Familiar personal folder structures presented in our secure webmail interface
• Personal email archive access through Mobile devices; Android, Windows Phone, iPhone and BlackBerry

Mimecast Email Archive provides secure, reliable email storage without the need to provision and manage continuously growing email archiving requirements.

Instant access

Our parallel grid storage architecture means that searches over your entire email archive are returned in near real-time through a standard Microsoft Outlook interface – or through our secure webmail interface. This makes an email from ten years ago as accessible as one sent today.

Rapid search boosts productivity and improves decision-making

Helping users quickly and easily search their personal email archive cuts down on help desk queries – which reduces costs and improves productivity. And, by giving your staff access to the most complete information possible, it helps them quickly make more informed decisions.

Mimecast Mobile Access – access to archive wherever you are

Mimecast Mobile Access increases mobile workforce productivity by giving smartphone users access to their entire personal email archive from their familiar smartphone interface.

Evidential quality email data for legal or regulatory purposes

When you store email with Mimecast, all messages are tamper proof, and strong chains of custody are maintained throughout their entire lifecycle. The result is email data to support the most demanding legal requirements. In fact, Mimecast’s power as an eDiscovery and litigation hold tool is one of the reasons why we are already the archive solution of choice for over 50% of the UK’s top 100 legal firms.

An end to complex & redundant email archiving systems

We have built in redundancy through multiple data centers in each of the jurisdictions where we operate, meaning we can offer a 100% service availability SLA. Move to Mimecast and you can have total confidence in email storage without the need to provision and manage continuously growing email archiving requirements.
