dg mail provides compliance-conforming archiving of e-mail-communications, improving efficiency and reducing costs

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, we need an e-mail infrastructure fit to accommodate the enormous rise in mail volume.

Considering that the demand for Managed Storage, high performance disk space for e-mail, is now increasing by up to 30% annually, mail server architectures based on Microsoft® Exchange or IBM® Lotus Notes are rapidly reaching their limits and continuously demand new investments. Apart from hardware and licenses, the costs for IT administration and IT Helpdesk also linearly increase the e-mail costs.


Increasing costs, postbox size and helpdesk efforts for e-mail archiving
  • Costs for e-mail infrastructure are rising annually by 30%, i.e. they double every three years
  • Stability of the systems decline with increasing mail volume
  • Postbox size and administration time for each postbox and employees increase
  • Helpdesk efforts for mail quota management and restoration increase linearly with the growing e-mail traffic


Keep IT simple – easy integration, great benefits

dg mail is integrated in the existing e-mail infrastructure on the server side. The program archives all e-mails and attachments. You determine how it's done.

The e-mails are stored along with their attachments in a well-proven archiving system designed revision – safe for long-term archiving. Only small links are subsequently found in the mailboxes. The integrated single-instancing procedure automatically eliminates doublets for archiving. The result: drastically reduced storage requirements. The volume on the mail servers drop by an average of 80%.

The number of mailbox items is also considerably reduced by the innovative three-phase archiving. The result is a far more stable e-mail infrastructure, which is also prepared for a sustained long-term fast growth in the e-mail deluge.

dg mail – e-mail archiving

Installation and startup generally take only one day. dg mail is fully integrated in Microsoft® Outlook. Microsoft® Outlook Web Access is also supported. The same applies for IBM® Lotus Notes, Novell GroupWise and others.
