Efficient E-Mail utilises some of FSC’s FibreCAT storage architecture

In light of the EuroSOX directive, Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC) has introduced its Efficient E-Mail initiative, which provides a complete solution for the challenges of e-mail growth and compliance in enterprises.

EuroSOX, the collective name for the eighth EU directive governing company law, now requires all European Union member states to introduce legislative reform. Many enterprises are already struggling to stay on top of relentlessly increasing information bloat caused by e-mail growth, and this situation is about to be compounded by the EuroSOX directive. For many organisations, the process of e-mail management has grown into their number one priority, according to a study by research firm IDC.

FSC’s Efficient E-Mail initiative provides a solution for such problems. The Efficient E-Mail solution combines end-to-end message management and archiving through combining best-in-class hardware, software and professional services for an ideal Microsoft Exchange infrastructure.

Efficient E-Mail offers automated, back office compliance, making sure that organisations can cope with continued mailbox growth plus the mandated need to organise archived messages. The key element of the solution is policy-based archiving. Archiving of e-mail on receipt ensures compliance where it is critical to prove that messages have not been altered after receipt. The mailbox bloat is also tackled by indexing every e-mail on receipt in the archive, so that only one copy is retained. Moreover, enhanced business continuity is ensured by preventing annoying ‘mailbox full’ messages - a clear benefit for the end user.

“In developing the Efficient E-Mail offering, our top priority was to give customers the perfect infrastructure for the entire e-mail ecosystem of tomorrow,” said Helmut Beck, vice president of storage at FSC. “We have put together a comprehensive solution to the emerging challenge of coping with e-mail archiving and system performance – providing a powerful tool to cut through e-mail mountains and still ensure compliance.”
