GFI Software Launches GFI MAX MailArchive - now available from Grant McGregor Ltd

New hosted email archiving service launched for the UK market...

GFI Software, a leading IT solutions provider for small and medium-sized enterprises, has announced the launch of GFI MAX MailArchive - a hosted service which allows businesses to archive email messages to geographically distributed datacenters for future search, reference and retrieval. The platform neutral service can either be used standalone or integrated within existing GFI MAX MailProtection to offer comprehensive antivirus, anti-spam and now a secure email archiving service. GFI MAX MailArchive helps IT managers to solve one of the biggest challenges facing small businesses and organisations today - how to offload their creaking email infrastructure and remove the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.

GFI MAX MailArchiver is the next major component in GFI MAX comprehensive service offering for IT managers. It will allow them to offer their users a highly secure and available solution to deliver fully-hosted email archiving. Priced competitively using GFI MAX’s familiar approach of no minimum commitment, no long-term contracts and pay-as-you-go billing, the ease of implementation will be a major benefit to customers wishing to roll the solution out to large numbers of users with minimum effort.

Offered as a part of GFI MAX MailProtection, the solution can be activated instantly by an administrator in the control panel and is priced per mailbox archived. This provides greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness for the customer than any on-premise solution.

“Email infrastructure requirements are growing each day as IT administrators struggle to hold on to a mountain of critical intellectual property,” said Dr. Alistair Forbes, General Manager, GFI MAX Business Unit, GFI Software. “The key is to limit the strain on email servers while making the treasure chest of data stored in email easily retrievable and accessible. In providing IT managers with a hosted service on which to offload that burden for their users, GFI MAX MailArchive solves some of the largest storage and compliance problems today in a manner that is cost effective for small and medium-sized enterprises and organisations.”

GFI MAX MailArchive delivers a compliance and disaster recovery solution that requires no additional software installation and delivers a high level of resilience by providing geographic distribution of the message store. The GFI MAX MailArchive service is designed to help IT Managers to solve problems around offloading their email infrastructure, automate their retention of email and easily recall critical messages for regulatory requirements or other purposes.
