Archive File

Archive file data with a cloud-based solution

Technology to archive file and email data is essential for effective information management. The amount of data in your organization is growing exponentially while legal requirements and employee demand necessitate that data be more available and searchable than ever before. Yet traditional archive data solutions – with on-premises hardware and software systems and the personnel to manage them – are increasingly complex and costly.

Cloud-based archiving from Mimecast provides a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. With Mimecast, you can archive file and email data in a single repository, simplifying search and retrieval. Centralized control of retention policies streamlines administrative tasks, and comprehensive support for e-discovery and litigation requirements makes compliance a breeze. When you archive file and email data with Mimecast, IT resource demands and costs are dramatically lowered.
