Background 

Mimecast has introduced a groundbreaking approach to email security, continuity and archiving. It is called Unified Email Management and it takes care of the most sophisticated corporate requirements, online, with no hardware, software or capital expense.

Mimecast removes the need for the fragmented stack of email point solutions that plague nearly every corporate IT department including; in-house email archiving systems and all of the technical complexity that ship with these, hygiene and content gateways which frequently introduce single points of failure, managed service email security providers whose “first generation” architectures are now fatigued and underperforming , and the complex multisite email disaster recovery configurations that only larger companies can afford.

Outside of IT circles, little is known or appreciated about the cost, risk and complexity involved in corporate email infrastructures. These exist as a result of the piecemeal implementations of various separate point solutions that the steady growth in business email dependence over the past few years has encouraged. Most companies now have fragmented, complex and expensive email infrastructures. A simpler, more holistic strategy is desperately called for. Leveraging a purpose built multi-tenant software-as-a-service architecture with a number of market leading technical innovations; Mimecast’s Unified Email Management services profoundly change both the economics and dynamics of the email security, continuity and archiving markets.
