Soarsoft Africa, the distributors of ZANTAZ EAS, the global leader in content archiving and electronic discovery solutions, today announced the huge success and general availability of ZANTAZ Enterprise Archive Solution (EAS) 6 for the Microsoft 2007 generation of products.
ZANTAZ EAS 6 ensures enterprises upgrading to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007, and Microsoft Internet Information Server 7.0 can continue to benefit from a scalable, centralised content archiving and discovery solution. ZANTAZ featured ZANTAZ EAS 6 at Microsoft's Tech-Ed event in June.
ZANTAZ EAS 6, with its uniquely scalable architecture and with true enterprise-wide single instance storage, drives down overall storage volumes by up to 90%, while ensuring access to e-mail messages, files, and SharePoint documents for regulatory compliance, electronic discovery, and knowledge management.
The solution provides transparent and cost-effective access for end-users, business officers, and legal professionals, using the applications they know best, including Microsoft's new family of products such as Microsoft Outlook 2007, Windows Vista, the 2007 Microsoft Office System, Microsoft Outlook Web Access 2007, and Microsoft Windows Mobile handheld devices.
Furthermore, ZANTAZ EAS 6 reduces the time and risk of an organisation's migration from older Microsoft Exchange servers to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, by enabling administrators to offload data to the ZANTAZ EAS archive prior to the upgrade.
"The ZANTAZ EAS family of products builds on the Microsoft platform to enable organisations to address today's critical compliance and electronic discovery requirements," said Robert Bernard, general manager of Developer and Platform Evangelism at Microsoft Corp. "The combination of Microsoft and ZANTAZ ensures users get simplified management, rock-solid protection, and transparent access to e-mail and files."
ZANTAZ EAS 6 includes the following enhancements:
Full integration with the Singlecast classification technology - purchased by ZANTAZ in December of 2006 - to improve e-mail monitoring and reduce the risk of corporate liability
Support for the Microsoft Exchange 2007 managed folders feature to provide organisations with an intuitive and interactive mechanism to classify messages and set retention periods that are transparently and automatically enforced within the archive.
Support for the powerful new Microsoft Windows Desktop Search feature, enabling users to find and retrieve both live and archived content with a single full text query.
Support for mobile users through Microsoft Outlook Web Access 2007 and handheld devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile or Palm OS.
Transparent integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, including support for new features such as offline library access and enhanced records management.
Ability to perform electronic discovery using both desktop and browser-based clients, to meet the needs of geographically dispersed and multiple-party litigation teams.
"ZANTAZ has worked closely with Microsoft, not only to deliver enhanced content archiving and electronic discovery capabilities to the 2007 platform, but also to make it easier for our customers to make the transition," said Bob Little, vice-president of product marketing at ZANTAZ. "When ZANTAZ EAS customers upgrade to Microsoft's latest generation of solutions, they can do so quickly and without pain."
