Seamless Integration of Email and Backup Removes Complex and Costly Barriers to Protecting Emails and Maintaining Critical Data Availability...

Reading, UK, 1st August 2006 – Mirapoint, the secure messaging experts, and BakBone Software® (PK: BKBO), a global provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, have entered into a strategic partnership to offer Mirapoint customers a combination of BakBone’s NetVault® suite of backup and restore software solutions and Mirapoint’s Secure Messaging Infrastructure.

Backup and recovery software is essential to safeguarding critical information, much of which is now stored on email systems, making email backup a vital part of a company’s data protection strategy. With this in mind, BakBone and Mirapoint have configured their products to seamlessly integrate via NetVault’s Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) agent for an unparalleled email backup solution. The result will be Secure Messaging Infrastructures with integrated NetVault®: Backup, providing trusted email backup with centralised control that is simpler and more cost effective to manage.

“Email backup should be a foremost consideration for enterprises now storing much of their critical data in their email systems – it must be a priority because without reliable email backup, vital data is jeopardised,” said Michael Osterman of Osterman Research. “The fact that BakBone and Mirapoint have eased the integration of backup software with email systems bodes well for enterprises that recognise the need to both securely backup and easily retrieve email.”

This partnership combines messaging and backup expertise to solve the previous compatibility problems plaguing email backup. Incompatible NDMP device standards have long posed a dilemma for IT administrators at the time of syncing up email systems with backup software for reliable email data storage and protection. By resolving previous device standard issues, email backup is now seamless.

“By leveraging our NDMP leadership and combined technology expertise, BakBone and Mirapoint offer our mutual enterprise customers a streamlined solution that makes email backup part of the messaging infrastructure – something that is long overdue,” said Andrew Bowles, director of strategic partners group at BakBone. “Our products will seamlessly function together, thereby reducing the complexity of managing email backup and ensuring the availability of critical data.”

BakBone’s NetVault: Backup delivers proven reliability and high performance with a unique combination of heterogeneous data protection features designed to scale to meet the demands of any sized environment – now including Mirapoint’s Secure Messaging Infrastructure. In addition, NetVault: Backup’s built-in automation capabilities lower storage management costs by easing the administration of routine storage management tasks and improving operational efficiency.

“Our customers have made clear the need for streamlined backup for the increasing amount of important information residing on their messaging infrastructures,” said Bethany Mayer, chief marketing officer for Mirapoint. “For this reason, our partnership with BakBone makes so much sense – market demand for an easy-to-use email backup system for IT administrators, something that other vendors have not been able to achieve to date.”

Mirapoint’s Message Server is the foundation for a secure messaging infrastructure, providing a standards-based platform that intelligently serves, secures and manages messages with multi-mode client access. Mirapoint appliances offer the industry’s best price-performance, the highest scalability, and 99.999 percent reliability to handle the most demanding messaging environments.
