In archive data migration technology
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 31, 2019 at 2:16 pmMimecast Limited, an email and data security company, acquired Simply Migrate Ltd., provider of archive data migration technology.
With this acquisition, it expands its migration services with a portfolio of connectors, combined with an experience in helping organizations get out of the business of managing expensive, unreliable legacy archives so they can move to a next-generation data protection strategy in the Mimecast cloud.
This helps enable them to reduce costs, safeguard their IP, preserve institutional memory, accelerate e-discovery and achieve compliance.
The cost and complexity of legacy data migration is one of the leading obstacles preventing enterprises from moving to modern cloud-based archiving solutions such as Mimecast. This acquisition will offer customers and prospects a faster, less expensive and more reliable path to the Mimecast cloud.
“Legacy archiving systems are outdated and unable to handle growth and ever-changing demands of a modern enterprise. Many organizations struggle with the ballooning email storage volumes alongside other unstructured data types, coupled with the cost and management burdens of storing it on-premises,” said Peter Bauer, CEO, Mimecast. “With the acquisition of Simply Migrate, customers can reap the benefits of the Mimecast Cloud Archive, which was recently named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving for the fourth year in a row. The technology Simply Migrate offers is engineered to provide end-to-end migration into the Mimecast Cloud Archive, helping to cut costs and operational complexity while achieving a superior result with more flexible access to data, case management, supervision and more.“
