The new partnership immediately adds Waterford’s email and file archiving technology to BakBone’s data protection portfolio and expands Waterford’s reach through BakBone’s extensive reseller channel and 15,000 customer base.

Waterford’s MailMeter archiving solution helps companies reduce operating costs due to growing storage requirements, improves productivity, reduces potential liability by enabling enforcement of corporate policies, meets regulatory requirements for email review and storage, and helps avoid penalties by providing an advanced legal discovery interface for fast responses to requests.

IDC predicts the worldwide archiving market to grow at 28.7% for the Linux/open source operating environments and 15.2% for the Windows 32/64 operating environments from 2009 to 2014. 1
