PivotStor's 'Five in One' Email Management Appliance Designed to provide Email Lifecycle Protection to SMBs

(March 12, 2008)-- PivotStor, a new company dedicated to delivering best-of-breed data protection, coupled with proven reliability and cost-effective performance, introduced its new EP-Series email management appliance, designed to provide Email Lifecycle Protection to small and mid-sized organizations.

PivotStor officials also said the appliance will be sold exclusively through its global network of channel partners, underscoring the company's commitment to resellers and integrators.

At a starting price of less than $1,300US, the EP-Series of appliances is a highly scalable solution enabling companies to grow and fully protect and manage their email while ensuring compliance with a full range of e-discovery, government and industry regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, the UK Data Protection Act and more. Available in book-sized desktop, 1U and 2U rackmount configurations, the EP-Series easily and powerfully handles their email archiving requirements; it is capable of processing up to 830,000 email messages every day, or more than three billion a year.

"Email archiving is no longer important to only large companies. Smaller firms face the same pressures of regulatory compliance and e-discovery," said Arun Taneja, founding analyst at the Taneja Group. "Companies recognize that email is where content resides; vendors who can deliver an email archiving product to mid-tier companies that's easy to use with integrated anti-spam, encryption and anti-virus functionalities are in position to seize a leadership position."

The PivotStor EP line of email management appliances includes EP-Ware, five unique, powerful software applications, including industry-standard email anti-virus protection, that are integrated into one easily managed interface:

-- EP-Filter: shuts down spam and computer viruses from hitting end-users' mailboxes; -- EP-Archive: copies, indexes, classifies and archives all filtered email by user account; -- EP-Secure: automatically encrypts and digitally signs incoming and outgoing email for a higher level of security; and -- EPC: allows end-users to challenge and eliminate spam from reaching their in-box on an ongoing basis with one-click simplicity.

In addition, EP-Ware's simple user interface makes it easy for both administrators and end-users to rapidly recover emails within minutes, whether accidentally deleted or needed as part of an e-discovery effort.
