Autonomy Has Largest Market Share in Email Archiving, According to Leading Market Research Firm

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has ranked Autonomy as the worldwide market share leader in email archiving based on total software revenue for 2009(1).  

According to Gartner's report titled "Market Trends: E-mail Archiving Strong Growth Continues" Autonomy achieved growth of 18.1% from 2008 to 2009 and market share of 23.7% in 2009.    

Regarding the prospects for the email archiving market, Gartner states, "The e-mail archiving software market saw 13.2% year-over-year growth in 2009. Although this is down from the 2008 growth rate of 25.7%, e-mail archiving is still among the fastest-growing segments of the software market. While the economic recovery and the success of service providers will impact future growth, hosted solutions and improved offerings from the large on-premises e-mail archiving software vendors should help boost growth of 23.0% through 2014."

Autonomy's comprehensive archiving platform, Autonomy Consolidated Archive, is a modular, secure, and integrated platform that enables customers to leverage the same market-leading archiving technology via an on-premise, cloud-based, hybrid, or appliance based approach.  The company's private cloud-based archiving offering continues to generate impressive growth, and recently passed the milestone of 17 Petabytes of data under management.

"We believe Autonomy's unique meaning-based approach to email archiving continues to drive our impressive gains in market share," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of Autonomy Protect, Enterprise Markets.  "Autonomy's ability to automatically identify the concepts and patters within the millions of emails, audio, and video files that flow through a company each day enables customers to appropriately archive and govern their content.  By combining these capabilities with Autonomy's highly secure and scalable private cloud, we provide businesses with an unmatched platform from which to drive a range of capabilities, including early case assessment, eDiscovery, legal hold, records management, and multichannel marketing applications."
