The importance of email has not been overlooked
by regulators and the court system. A maze of regulations and standards apply
to the retention of corporate records and communications - impacting most
organizations. In the U.S., the new rules surrounding the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure have created an entire new dimension to compliance requirements
for email with far-reaching impacts for organizations.
These regulations, coupled with the rapid growth of email, create a unique set
of challenges in managing email. Plasmon understands these issues and works
closely with business partners to design and implement solution's to properly
archive email. Robust archival solutions
like the UDO Archive
Appliance and Enterprise Active Archive,
help organizations through-out the world reduce business risk and improve
operational efficiency of email management.
Permanence and longevity - unlike disk solutions, UDO media can be
stored for more than 50 years without loss of data integrity
Authenticity - Plasmon offers hardware-based WORM - so it cannot be hacked
like software-based WORM emulation
Flexibility - Plasmon solutions combine hardware and software to accommodate
email archiving and other key data objects in the same architecture - eliminating
archive silos
Scalability - solutions are sized to meet the needs of your operations
today and grow with your organization over time
Continuity - flexible, low-cost disaster-recovery options to help ensure
archived emails are not lost
Fast data access - unlike tape, the UDO Archive Appliance's RAID cache
delivers high-performance read/write speeds for random access
Low total cost of ownership - Plasmon solutions utilize tiered storage
providing the least expensive total cost of ownership and greener solutions compared
to other storage options
Operational efficiency - by efficiently archiving email and removing
it from primary storage, backup processes decrease backup workloads and
freeing primary storage

Holmes, Inc. "When you consider that we receive nearly
30,000 emails on a daily basis, and regulations mandate that every email we send
and receive be kept for up to three years, there was no question that we needed

has provided us with an easy way to protect our assets while ensuring we are
in compliance with industry regulations." - Art Cooper, System Administrator,
