According to Gartner, the Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA) market is healthy and growing rapidly. EIA has emerged as a commonly used technology underpinning for higher-level use cases supporting information governance, e-discovery, historical preservation of data and application retirement. [1]

Highlighted features of Barracuda Message Archiver 3.5 include:

• Support for Exchange 2013
• Support for Office 365 and Google Apps using Cloud Relay
• Updated apps for Outlook 2013, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android
• Integration with Copy file sync and share for message exports

"User demand for message access from a variety of platforms continues to grow, putting pressure on IT beyond eDiscovery and storage management needs," said Rod Mathews, GM Storage, Barracuda. "Barracuda Message Archiver 3.5 addresses IT's need for powerful eDiscovery and storage management, while giving end-users easy access to their email anywhere from any device."

By leveraging the powerful, full-featured Barracuda Message Archiver mobile apps, users have seamless access to their archived email. The Barracuda Message Archiver app allows users to easily search and retrieve emails – including those that have been moved off of the mail server to archived storage – with much faster access and a higher success rate than most native clients. 

Users also have the option to save searches from the mobile app to avoid continuously typing in the same search terms. Additionally, users can reply to messages, forward messages and push messages back to their mailboxes directly from the mobile app.

As email use has exploded, so have the demands on the email server and capacity of its storage. Barracuda Message Archiver offloads storage of older messages and current attachments, provides a simple interface for permission-based access to the archive, and delivers a streamlined platform for quickly responding to eDiscovery requests. Barracuda's powerful policy engine allows granular management of archiving actions and permissions while its simple GUI enables self-service data recovery by users. With Barracuda Message Archiver, IT can centralize and streamline message storage, reduce costs, offload basic recovery to users, support eDiscovery and compliance needs, and extend the life of their email server infrastructure.
