Metalogix streamlines moving business email to the cloud

Email is often cited as being the killer application that made the internet take off, and there's no denying it has changed the way the world does business. But using email for business means keeping an archive so that you have a record of conversations. Over time that archive can become substantial and take up a lot of expensive disk space so storing it in the cloud begins to look like an attractive solution.

To help with moving mail to the cloud Metalogix is launching its Total Email Management and Migration product for Amazon Web Services. It delivers a complete service for mail archiving, backup, security, migration and continuity in the cloud.

The product uses 'labs' which allow users to test solutions to make sure everything is working as it should before completing the migration. There's also a try and buy option which offers all of the options of the full product for a limited number of accounts so that customers can see how the migration works before moving to the full solution.

"With Metalogix Total Email Management and Migration for the AWS cloud environments we are delivering a comprehensive approach to email and file archiving and management with the flexibility our customers seek to support the changing dynamics of their business," says Steven Murphy, CEO of Metalogix. "By providing the industry's best of breed email management solutions on AWS, users can achieve the stringent security and control they need while lowering their total management costs. This consolidated solution combined with world-class security and management functionality is truly the 'All Stars Environment' customers and their trusted partners have been seeking to meet their email and unstructured data management requirements".

The product is offered in licensing packages based on number of users or storage capacity and perpetual licenses can be transferred to other cloud systems on in-house infrastructure if need be. You can find out more on the Metalogix website or try out the product via the AWS Test Drive Labs at http://aws.amazon.com/testdrive/microsoft/.
