Email is essential
The early years of this century has seen the
exponential growth of Internet email traffic. The current estimations
foresee traffic in the range of tens of billions of emails per day.
Email technology is producing a fundamental paradigm shift in the
way people do business, in what had been a paper based world.
Email has evolved from an exotic communication tool in the 80s to
one of the key applications of the Internet in the 90s, to a fundamental
part of our lives, a critical part of virtually every commercial transaction.
Commercial email accounts are numbered in the range of hundreds of
millions worldwide. The email traffic volume growth as well as new
regulatory legislation being enforced in various countries are shaking
the foundations of the current document and storage management infrastructure
of enterprises worldwide, introducing the need for completely new
and more functionally and architecturally rich, dynamic email archiving
solutions.
