Soarsoft Africa, Metalogix team up

Johannesburg, 30 Sep 2009

Soarsoft Africa is proud to announce a distribution and support partnership with Metalogix, award-winning archiving and migration solutions company. Soarsoft and Metalogix will work together to deliver solutions to Africa and the Middle East.

Soarsoft has nearly a decade of experience as a specialist messaging, archiving and information specialist, and selected Metalogix Professional Archive Manager for its 'Archiving in a Box' solution as a service offering, after a rigorous selection process that included all the top technologies in this segment.

“Soarsoft's 'Archiving in a Box' offering is a managed enterprise archiving solution for e-mail, electronic file and SharePoint records. Using our experiences with large and demanding organisations both locally and globally over the last decade, we have developed a flexible, feature rich archiving solution, delivered as a managed service and/or hosted solution.”

Cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) style solutions have gained in popularity, but current offerings in this space place a large burden on Internet traffic and connectivity, while offering a limited file, SharePoint and advanced mailbox archiving functionality. They also offer little or no flexibility around data retention, disposition and mailbox management at the mail server level. This limits the return on investment potential and is usually also accompanied by weak indexing and search technologies, further affecting the costs of legal discovery, and generally rendering the solution less useful to more serious corporate entities.”

'Archiving in a Box' is delivered by Soarsoft in combination with its regional partners and provides a solution that offers the best of both worlds. That is, a best-of-breed solution to answer complex business requirements, but without any of the hardware, connectivity and management complexities. Furthermore, clients can choose to have only the software delivered as a service (ie, the data remains within the organisation's own data centres), or the entire solution delivered from the cloud.
