NorthSeas AMT (NorthSeas), a pioneer in e-mail archiving appliances, launched its upgraded product line with faster processing, more
memory, and additional onboard index storage. Along with a new hardware
platform, the company also announced that the entire NorthSeas product
family will now use the company’s original product moniker, “NorthSeas
Guard E/N” (pronounced “guardian”), the name for which NorthSeas
products are best known.
Each NorthSeas Guard E/N model is differentiated by the number
of users licensed to use it and the capacity of message-records on its
onboard index. The basic NorthSeas Guard E/N licenses up to 500 users
and has an 80 million message index capacity. The NorthSeas Guard E/N
Pro supports up to 1,000 users and 300 million messages while the
NorthSeas Guard E/N Enterprise supports 2,500 users and 400 million
messages. Organizations with more than 2,500 users can deploy multiple
units linked together, using NorthSeas’ unique database synchronization
feature.
Each of the NorthSeas appliances is now based on a common robust 1U
appliance chassis. The NorthSeas Guard E/N replaces the table-top
appliance of the same name, while the Pro and the Enterprise models
replace the two configurations of the company’s earlier 1U appliance
called the NorthSeas Gal E/N. Organizations with less than 100 users
can still purchase the NorthSeas Small Business Guard E/N, an e-mail
archiving appliance based on the company’s original table-top hardware
platform.
“Our new hardware adds power and scalability to the NorthSeas e-mail
archiving product line-up, while our brand is enhanced by more
streamlined name recognition,” says Stephen Spence, CEO and President
of NorthSeas. “Both of these are essential as we strive with the help
of our loyal channel partners to becoming the industry de facto
standard.”
NorthSeas will soon be releasing its latest firmware. In addition to
faster searching performance, Version 3.0 will also offer many new
features including LDAP and iSCSI support, as well as providing users
with the convenience of e-mail access and basic mail-server
functionality (e.g., compose, reply-to and forward) even while the
corporate mail-server is unavailable.
