BENEFITS
What's your most important business database?
You might be surprised...
Email has become the new "filing cabinet".
People use it to store contact information, documents, files, and
scores of other business information. In a recent survey, business
users said they consider over 50% of email to be "important" or
"critical". But with today's email volumes, just one user's sent and
received mail can easily exceed 10,000 emails in just one year!
What are people doing to keep this
important information? Overflowing their mailboxes, moving business
critical data to unstable PST files, dragging emails down to
files on their desktops, printing hardcopies, or just deleting them
and hoping they won't need the information later.
Now Defender can manage and retain this
important business information for you. By automatically capturing a
copy of all inbound and outbound mail and securely storing it,
Defender eliminates the need for large mailbox files and chaotic PST
files and makes searching through emails fast and easy. Defender is
the premier email archiving solution designed specifically for small
and medium sized businesses! It's easy to install, easy to operate,
and, by combining archiving functionality with built-in disk
storage, there's nothing else to integrate, nothing else to manage
and, best of all, nothing else to buy.
Defender is an email archiving appliance
that lets you:
- Save time and reduce costs: decrease
email server load, storage and backup time and the impact on IT.
Secure your important information assets with multiple layers of
security
- Access information more easily with
Defender's searchable database

longer have to manage email files
