Business dilemma: email retention policy; new SEC regulations to address storing and restoring

Messaging applications are crucial for modem business, but managing them is a never-ending headache. Messaging data generates huge volumes of storage: Microsoft Exchange alone processes more than 3 million email messages every day through corporate email servers, and analysts estimate that email and attachments are growing at a rate of 35% per year. Email archives are massive and unwieldy, resist classification schemes, ignore structured searches and frustrate policy-driven archiving. But managing email archives is vital to protect companies from serious management, storage, litigation and regulatory liabilities.
