Mimosa Systems NavigateStorage: "Next-Generation Approach to Email Archiving
Existing archiving solutions place heavy burdens on Exchange servers, relying on data capture methods like MAPI crawls and journaling – both of which can increase input/output per second (IOPS) on the Exchange server by up to 50%.
Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange incorporates an innovative data capture method called Continuous Application Shadowing™. Continuous Application Shadowing instantly captures Exchange log files once they are committed to disk and stores them “off-host” on NearPoint. It is an application-intelligent process, which also blocks corruption from the back-up copy. All email content extracted from the log files is indexed and stored with single-instance storage. Furthermore, Continuous Application Shadowing captures complete mailbox information including calendar items, tasks, contacts, and item histories.
Email has proven to be a company's vital asset. If not to be legally required (compliant) then for sure a good company practice.
NavigateStorage has specialised in Email, file and Sharepoint archiving since 2001 with Educom (now Zantaz) and since then Mimosa, Red Condor and Global Relay.

Nexsan storage from NavigateStorage
NavigateStorage has specialized in Storage since 1999 and Archiving since 2001. If your data is critical, such as Email for compliance then you should know about Assureon from Nexsan.
Assureon from Nexsan gives organizations the ability to keep only one copy of each file stored, regardless of how many users write that file to storage.
Assureon uses single instance store technology, a function of Content Addressed Storage, to identify duplicate files and store only a single copy of a file. This deduplication process is performed automatically with Assureon and is transparent to the user.
By intelligently transferring and storing a single instance of any archived file, Assureon dramatically reduces storage consumption, network bandwidth and overall cost.

Accelerate NAS environments with Tiered Appliance
FXT Series hardware platforms provide the high-performance storage media that enables Avere tiered NAS appliances to accelerate the performance and reduce the cost of NAS environments. FXT Series hardware platforms are highly reliable and offered in multiple configuration options.
Executive Summary
The storage industry is at an inflection point. High-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) are threatening the dominance of hard disk drives (HDDs), particularly expensive 15k-RPM Fibre Channel (FC) drives, in storage systems. High-capacity, inexpensive serial ATA (SATA) drives have replaced tape as the archive medium of choice. Incumbent storage vendors are struggling to include new storage media in their products, but each candidate replacement medium has particular strengths and weaknesses that existing storage operating systems do not accommodate.
Storage vendors have focused on capacity over performance even as application servers and clients require greater and greater throughput. To keep pace with the demands of your computing infrastructure, you must constantly upgrade to the latest, most expensive generation of NAS servers.
The Avere Systems FXT Series enables you to accelerate the performance of your current NAS infrastructure and lower the costs of NAS acquisition, operation, and expansion. The Avere solution also allows you to use less expensive, lower-performance NAS servers and lower-cost, high-density media such as SATA HDDs to expand your NAS infrastructure, increasing performance and extending the useful lifespan of legacy NAS systems, all while consuming less power, cooling, and rack space than traditional NAS solutions.

iBac 5.0, now offers support for Microsoft Exchange 2010
Idealstor announces that data protection software, iBac 5.0, now offers support for Microsoft Exchange 2010.
We are very excited about this announcement as Exchange 2010 has an option called Recovery Database (RDB) that allows you to recover individual mailboxes or emails without having to do a brick level backup. This means that you can now use our OVS module to backup a live Exchange server and simply backup the information store for a fast and easy to run backup. When that job is done you can then use the RDB to recover mailboxes or emails. This is much faster than traditional Brick Level backup options on the market that require you to go within the information store to backup mailboxes/emails.

Management Software for Windows
NavigateStorage represents AutoVirt
By ensuring that users have a consistent point of access to their data, AutoVirt allows IT administrators to automate the movement of data within their Windows storage environments.
As administrators move data to where they need it to be – business-critical data to a new device, a replica to a secondary location, last year’s share to Tier 2 storage – clients are automatically redirected to the new location of their data. By eliminating impact on end-users, AutoVirt removes a number of logistical barriers to project execution and frees IT to approach storage management more dynamically. With AutoVirt, IT administrators can design policies to automate data measurement, copying, migration, replication, and archiving. A policy is a series of logical and validation commands defined using a GUI-based wizard. Policies are schedulable and include configurable e-mail alerts and exception handling.
We recommend that you attend a 30 minute demo so you can evaluate all this products capability.

Tiering is Dead, Long Live Tiering « Demand-Driven Storage Blog
Tiering is Dead, Long Live Tiering « Demand-Driven Storage Blog: "Tiering is Dead, Long Live Tiering"
NavigateStorage, a ten year old company specializing in Storage, Backup, Data Replication and Malware. We pass this article on as a precursor to talk nor about Avere Systems. We think this company has great promise, having decoded "Dynamic Tiering" and is worth a close look. Why not stay up to date and let us set up a webex and answer you questions.
The term Dynamic Tiering has really been abused in the network storage industry lately. Everyone talks about tiering in one form or another. Vendors that do not have currently shipping products talk about futures and those vendors that have shipping products do not actually disclose how their tiering works, which applications benefit, nor by how much. Unfortunately, one of the giants in the industry has even further muddied the waters. According to a TechTarget article last week regarding NetApp’s earnings call, NetApp’s CEO said that “the whole concept of tiered storage is going to go away.” Presumably, this refers to EMC’s Fast technology, since one industry Goliath always needs to beat up on another Goliath. The unfortunate thing for NetApp, is that on the same call, they completely reversed their position on tiering when they touted the success of their form of tiering, which includes their SSD-based performance accelerator. Tiering is dead, long live tiering!
The simple truth is that no single technology has ever proven to be the panacea of data storage. SATA drives have the lowest cost per bit and are great for archival storage. FC or SAS drives offer a compromise of performance and capacity, excelling at large block accesses like those found in large sequentially read files. Solid State Devices, based on Flash, offer unsurpassed performance for random reads and small block sizes.
More importantly, the differences from one technology to another are measured by orders of magnitude, not by mere percentage improvements. Because of this, a solution that can leverage the strengths of all the technologies is guaranteed to out-perform and cost less than a solution that only uses one or two.
Rather than predicting which storage tiers will win and the capacity of those tiers in a solution, the important information needed to judge a tiering solution is how the tiers are used. Most vendors are completely silent on this. Here are three examples of the more egregious mis-steps in dynamic tiering.
The first mis-step is tiering at too large a level of granularity. Consider a solution that tiers at the volume level. If a few files in a volume become active, the entire volume will need to be promoted to a more expensive tier to get the performance needed for the few files. This results in cost inefficiency as extra data is promoted to the expensive storage and performance inefficiency as the entire volume consumes read/write bandwidth of both tiers that are involved in the promotion of the volume.
The second mis-step is not tiering frequently enough. Several vendors have proposed tiering schedules that are measured in terms of days. This is crazy. Consider the file that I am editing for this blog. I might work on this file for a few days and then rarely, if ever, look at the source file again once the blog is posted. If activity is measure across days, by the time this source file is promoted, it should be archived.
The third mis-step is not using the correct media. Most vendors actually completely avoid this question and require the administrator to set policies. In those instances where the vendor does decide, frequently wrong media is chosen.
An example of this third mis-step is to examine the two stage architecture promoted on NTAP’s earnings call – SSD & SATA. In their architecture the SSD-based performance accelerator is apparently only used for read data. All write data is sent to SATA storage. This is terribly inefficient and is even proven in their SPECsfs®08 posting. To achieve the same performance in a NTAP 3160 with the accelerator module, they required almost twice the number of SATA disks than when they run the same benchmark using FC disks (96 SATA disks versus 56 FC disks). Since the SATA disks have over 3x the capacity of the FC disks, they deployed over 6x as much capacity to store the same amount of data. This over-provisioning is a result of not tiering the media properly and is extremely inefficient in terms of space, power and equipment costs.
What is clear from all of the press on “Dynamic Tiering”, is that the term is both extremely overused and misunderstood. Because of the orders of magnitude differences in storage media costs and performance, data storage solutions can clearly benefit from tiering if executed properly.

Mimosa Systems NavigateStorage
NavigateStorage has been delivering Compliant Email, SharePoint and File Archiving since 2001 starting with Educomm (before acquired by ZANTAZ then by Autonomy). We sell both on-site and Hosted. For on-site our vote goes to Mimosa. Let us tell you more.
Mimosa Systems NavigateStorage:
Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange has incorporated an innovative data capture approach called Continuous Application Shadowing™ where Exchange log files are captured the instant they are committed to disk and stores them “off-host” on NearPoint. Continuous Application Shadowing is an application-intelligent process that blocks corruption from the backup copy. All email content extracted from the log files is indexed and stored with single-instance storage. Continuous Application Shadowing also captures the complete Exchange mailbox information, including contacts, calendars, personal folders, as well as email stored offline in PST files and all email content found in public folders — a major advantage for eDiscovery and Exchange recovery."

NAS Performance
Challenge
The performance of current generation network attached storage (NAS) is limited by the quantity and performance of
the attached disk drives. For even modest application performance requirements, this limitation results in costly
over-provisioning of storage capacity, inefficient use of limited data center space, and wasted power consumption.
NavigateStorages Solution
The Avere FXT Series of tiered NAS appliances separates data delivery from data retention and more efficiently
delivers both. Active client data is stored and accessed on a cluster of FXT appliances optimized for performance.
Inactive data is stored on traditional NAS systems (in Avere terms, mass storage systems) optimized for storage
capacity and retention. System performance scales by adding appliances to the FXT cluster and capacity scales by
adding disk storage to the mass storage systems.
NavigateStorage specializes in Storage, Backup, Email Archiving and Anti-Virus?Malware.

Email Archiving Options
Today technology has progressed offering many new functions and ways to deliver. Initially it was primarily an in-house capability. A customer first had to train two-three IT staff, then provide the necessary hardware at the archiving site and then for the DR site. Next came the professional services to set up the system and hands-on train their staff to this new environment.
Budgets were then established for the installation then, of course, annual Maintenance charges (usually 20% of the initial sale). Of course software upgrades due to Microsoft or the vendor also needed to be considered. True, tried and tested ZANTAZ now owned by Autonomy and their Idol search engine who has had its challenges integrating it into EAS in place of Alta vista and Mimosa (now owned by Iron Mountain).
Then along came "hosted or cloud solutions." This solution did not require any of the above but a monthly per user charge. Global Relay the leader in this field at about $10/user month and Red Condor a recent start up delivering a mature archiving solution at only $4/user/month. Hosted solutions are making good progress securing the customers email as the email is kept on the providers location not the customers. Acceptance is slow coming but as new things usually do.
Both have their benefits depending on the situation.

AutoVirt - NavigateStorage finds a jewel
Consolidation projects mean moving data from many to fewer devices. This means that you must schedule maintenance windows, migrate the data manually, and reapply client shortcuts after migration. This can take weeks! Get up and running with AutoVirt and schedule your consolidation project to run in less than one day - without maintenance windows.
