HP and LEGATO to Help Enterprises Tackle Electronic Mail Regulatory Requirements
Announcement posted by Legato Systems Inc. 06 Jun 2003
Industry Leaders Combine Storage, Software and Services to Deliver Email Archiving Solutions
HP (NYSE:HPQ - News) and LEGATO Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:LGTO - News) announced an expanded relationship to include the delivery of enterprise email archiving solutions to existing and new customers. The solutions are targeted toward organisations seeking to efficiently route, store, manage and retrieve electronic mail information, and to help meet the special needs of those facing heightened regulatory requirements.
"With the new requirements for archiving emails, companies are demanding more from their infrastructure and HP is delivering - more accountability, more agility and greater return on IT," said Bob Schultz, vice president, HP Network Storage Solutions. "Close collaboration with partners like LEGATO enables HP to address customer needs with valuable, business-oriented solutions. Together, the companies are creating a powerful customer solution and a premier channel to address the growing archiving market."
With the expanded relationship, HP is reselling LEGATO EmailXtender as part of a solution for providing comprehensive data storage and retrieval for enterprise email. The EmailXtender family supports Microsoft Exchange/Outlook, Lotus Notes/Domino, Bloomberg Mail and UNIX Sendmail, as well as instant messaging.
"Having listened to our customers, HP and LEGATO will be extending our existing relationship to offer industry-leading active archiving solutions and services," said David B. Wright, chairman and chief executive officer, LEGATO Systems. "As email retention continues to be a high customer priority, both HP and LEGATO have individually announced offerings to help meet these demands. Our expanded relationship will provide us with the opportunity to deliver a comprehensive solution to assist organisations in meeting their email and messaging requirements."
By integrating HP Services, HP StorageWorks systems and software with LEGATO e-mail archiving software, solutions are now available to enable customer compliance with heightened regulatory requirements and meet increased accountability demands for corporate communications.
"Already faced with the daunting task of managing the explosive overflow of data due to the growth of instant messaging and email, IT departments now must rapidly adapt to meet strictly enforced regulations offering little room for error," said Graham Penn, director of storage research, APAC, IDC. "HP and LEGATO can offer enterprises scalable, mature, proven solutions that leverage HP StorageWorks products and professional service capabilities and LEGATO's archiving technologies to meet customers' email archiving needs."
HP and LEGATO now offer the HP/Legato Email Archiving and Management Service and the HP/Legato Data Archiving Service, delivered through HP Services. HP Services provides consulting and analysis, installation, configuration and knowledge transfer to ensure the successful implementation of the solution for archiving, record keeping and compliance management. Available initially in North America, the HP/Legato Email Archiving and Management Service and the HP/Legato Data Archiving Service will be expanded to Australia in the near future.
Andrew Manners, director, network storage solutions, enterprise systems group, HP Australia said the extended relationship with LEGATO will enable them to offer customers valuable, cost effective enterprise solutions that will benefit their business.
By working together, we can meet the email archiving needs of our customers, and also the demands of a key part of the market that is growing steadily.
HP StorageWorks is the No. 1 global provider of total disk storage systems and the non-outsourced storage services market leader. HP's worldwide sales organisation and HP Services bring proven expertise in the mail and messaging market with more than 12 million Microsoft Exchange seats deployed or under contract.
LEGATO claimed its own No. 1 position earlier this year with the release of EmailXtender 4.4 as the only solution that can speed up the retrieval process of email and instant messages by archiving both in a single repository.
