A new email archiving service has been launched today by managed security company, Network Box. The service, based on Webroot’s® Emailing Archiving Service, is fully managed and web-based, and provides unlimited email storage as well as the ability to search and retrieve emails quickly.

Providing email archiving ‘in the cloud’ makes the cost of an archiving solution much more practical and affordable than providing it on site; it reduces the need for (and cost of) unlimited file storage, and there are no upfront licensing or hardware costs.

The Webroot system from Network Box – which integrates with Microsoft Outlook - works by capturing email messages when they are sent or received, and transferring them securely to the Webroot Email Archiving Service (using either TLS or SSL encryption, depending on the customer’s requirements). Encrypted emails are then replicated across geographically dispersed data centres for even greater protection. Users can access the archives and locate specific messages directly from Microsoft Outlook.

In addition, administrators are given advanced search capabilities for fast retrieval and ‘e-discovery’ services (for example, having to trace emails for compliance or audit reasons). The service means that companies meet industry and regulatory compliance requirements for data retention and audit trails.

Simon Heron, Internet Security Analyst for Network Box, says: “It’s more important than ever before for businesses to be able to locate data quickly, for legal reasons. Email archiving is an important part of compliance. A cloud solution is perfect for email archiving, as it takes the onus of storage and hardware costs off the business.”

Network Box is offering free demonstrations or trials of the new service. For more information, see the Cloud Solutions section of Network Box’s website; call 0800 107 6098 or email sales [at] network-box [dot] co [dot] uk.
