Stability and compliance for your e-mail
E-mail is fast. E-mail is convenient. No question about it, at least if you ask senders and receivers – that's the successful formula of e-mail. To keep e-mailing costs reasonable, an e-mail infrastructure must be ready and able to accommodate a continual and rapid growth in volume.
In fact, the demand for managed storage, high performance disk space for e-mail is now increasing by up to 30% annually and as a result, mail server architectures based on Microsoft® Exchange or IBM® Lotus Notes are rapidly reaching their limits, requiring a constant stream of additional investment. Putting aside the costs for additional hardware and licenses, the costs for IT administration and IT help desk alone are helping to balloon costs dramatically.

- E-mail infrastructure costs are rising annually by 30%, i.e. they double every three years
- System stability declines as mail volume increases
- Postbox sizes and administration time for each postbox and employee increase also
- As a result, help desk mail quota management and restoration efforts also increase linearly as the e-mail traffic continues to grow

Keep IT simple – easy integration, great benefits
dg mail is integrated with the existing e-mail infrastructure on the server side.The software archives all e-mails and attachments. You determine how it’s done.
E-mails and their attachments are stored in a highly-tested archiving system designed to ensure the revision-safe status of all data to enable long-term and very long-term archiving. As a result, very small reference files is the only thing that needs to be storedi n the mailbox itself. The integrated single instancing functionality automatically eliminates archiving duplications. The result: drastically reduced storage requirements. The volume on the mail servers drops by an average of 70%.
The number of mailbox items is considerably reduced by an innovative three-phase archiving process. The result is a far more stable e-mail infrastructure which can also handle sustained, long-term, rapid growth to accommodate the deluge of e-mails.

Installation and startup generally take only one day. dg mail is fully integrated with Microsoft® Outlook. Microsoft® Outlook Web Access, IBM® Lotus Notes, Novell GroupWise and other e-mail system formats are supported as well.
