Exchange 2010 includes a number of new capabilities, including email archiving. Does that mean you don’t need third-party archiving solutions?

A new study by Osterman Research reveals that there are many unknowns and misconceptions when it comes to Exchange 2010 and archiving. While many organizations have already deployed 2010, they are still not familiar with Exchange 2010’s true capabilities, nor have they decided how best to handle archiving for legal, storage and compliance goals.

Many IT decision makers believe that the built-in archiving capabilities of Microsoft Exchange 2010 will meet all of their content archiving requirements. While Exchange 2010 archiving is a good start for many, most organizations will still require third-party archiving solutions.

Join Michael Osterman, president and founder of Osterman Research and Martin Tuip of Iron Mountain Digital, as they present results of a recent survey on Exchange 2010 deployments and attitudes on archiving, an overview of its archiving capabilities, and the case for third party archiving with Exchange 2010. You will come away with valuable information on how the Exchange 2010 archiving capabilities work and what a third-party archive can—and cannot—do for you.

In this 60-minute Webinar, you will discover:

  • What other organizations are experiencing with Exchange 2010 as they move forward with its deployment
  • Common archiving challenges organizations are facing with Exchange 2010
  • Why third-party archiving solutions will continue to be needed with Exchange 2010
  • What you should look for in an archiving solution
  • Best practices for controlling data storage, costs, and compliance risks

The impact of having IPs blacklisted is not a trivial matter for service providers or their customers. It impacts customer satisfaction for providers and deliverability of email for organizations of all sizes. The problem is a very serious one that most service providers and email users have not yet solved.

Commtouch and Osterman Research will host a Webinar on June 29th that will specifically address this issue. The Webinar will focus on how ISPs, Web hosting providers, managed service providers, and other providers of email services deal with spam generated from within their own networks. Data from a recent Commtouch/ Osterman Research study, the first-ever comprehensive report on how outbound spam affects service providers and end users, will also be presented.

At this 55-minute Webinar you will discover:

  • The extensive size and scope of the outbound spam problem, from this ground-breaking research.
  • Significant challenges that service providers encounter with their current outbound spam-blocking methods.
  • The critical importance of dealing with the source of the problem rather than just the symptoms of outbound spam.

And, get your questions answered in an interactive Q&A format.
