Mimosa NearPoint Helps Leading Australian Investment Group Improve Email Management and Optimizes Microsoft Exchange Environment
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Mimosa Systems, the leader in next-generation email, file and, SharePoint archiving solutions, today announced that Provident Capital, one of Australia’s leading investment groups, has delivered a powerful integrated archive for simplified content management, storage consolidation and self-service search in a single, unified offering.
Provident Capital is one of Australia's leading diversified finance and investment funds management groups, creating and managing high quality fixed interest investments and innovative mortgage lending. Provident has deep domain expertise in identifying the need for alternative methods of investment and finance and delivering innovative financial solutions.
After evaluating several archiving solutions including Symantec, Sunbelt and GFI, Provident selected Mimosa NearPointTM because of its next-generation architecture, storage management, and self-service search capabilities. Since deploying NearPoint ten months ago, Provident has reduced storage requirements by 70 percent, boosted Exchange performance, and cut email-related help desk calls by 90 percent – freeing the IT staff to focus on the strategic needs of the business. In addition, the company has transformed its email system without incurring the expense and hassle of upgrading to a larger Exchange Server, or having to add additional hardware.
“Our results with NearPoint have been fantastic,” said Nick Corrie, Head of IT for Provident Capital. “Nearly all of our problems with PST files -- corruption, loss, and general headaches – have been eliminated, without any negative impact on Exchange, and without forcing us to upgrade our system.”
“NearPoint has been a perfect solution for us in so many ways,” added Corrie. “It has enabled us to solve our email management problems cost-effectively with an integrated, out-of-the-box archiving solution that only Mimosa could deliver.”
The Mimosa NearPoint archiving solution has delivered value to Provident Capital in the following ways including:
• Next-generation architecture: Mimosa NearPoint's unique architecture does not require journaling or any agents on either the Exchange Server or user desktops. This ensures that there is no impact on production Exchange Server performance.
• Storage management and PST archiving: Using NearPoint, administrators define policies that allow mailboxes on Exchange Servers to be extended to the NearPoint server using parameters such as message size, age, and mailbox quota. For managing offline email contained in PST files, the NearPoint PST Archiving Option crawls and uploads PST files to the NearPoint archive, where they are centrally managed and searched for email discovery. PST files can be automatically deleted after they are uploaded to the archive or remain as files managed by NearPoint.
• Self-service search of archived data: Provident employees have seamless self-service access to their archived data, enabling them to find potentially lost or deleted messages and files without IT assistance.
• Turnkey deployment and support services – Mimosa NearPoint’s ease of implementation and expert support services had Provident up and running the same day.
“The beauty of Mimosa NearPoint is that it’s an intuitive, easy-to-install and easy-to-maintain integrated archiving solution that allows organizations to set it up and virtually forget about it afterwards,” said Scott Whitney, vice president product management of Mimosa Systems. “Provident Capital’s success with NearPoint is a text-book example of how well our technology performs in the real world.”

Lagan Selects Mimosa NearPoint For Faster, Easier SharePoint Archiving And Recovery
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Mimosa Systems, the leader in next-generation email, file, and SharePoint archiving solutions, today announced that Lagan Group, the international construction and construction materials group with headquarters in Northern Ireland, has selected Mimosa NearPointTM for the rapid backup, archiving and recovery of thousands of business-critical documents held on five Microsoft Office SharePoint Servers used by its employees in 50 locations around the world. Microsoft SharePoint, the fastest growing product in Microsoft’s history, is a collection of server-side tools and applications that allows businesses to make documents and other data available through a single online portal.
Lagan chose Mimosa NearPointTM for SharePoint because it offers the fastest backup, archiving and recovery capabilities on the market. In addition, because Mimosa NearPoint for SharePoint also works seamlessly with Mimosa NearPoint for Exchange which Lagan had already deployed, the company can use a single, unified platform for the archiving and recovery of any document held anywhere within the organisation.
Jim Fennell, Information System Manager at Lagan, explains the problem his organization was facing: “Most of Lagans’ business is project-driven and the company had standardized on SharePoint. At any point we might have 60 SharePoint sites in operation holding thousands of documents, from project contracts and drawings to new business tenders and proposals. The consequences of losing even one document, let alone an entire SharePoint site, could be catastrophic to a project. A fast and efficient backup, archiving and recovery strategy was essential.”
However, Lagan’s SharePoint backups had become incredibly inefficient and slow. Weekly backups were taking over 24 hours while recovering a single lost or deleted document, because it required the entire SharePoint server to be recovered which could take a full working day.
Mimosa NearPoint’s features, including single-instancing and stubbing of files, will help Lagan eliminate the unnecessary backup of duplicate files across an organisation. It also offers users a fine-grain recovery feature to quickly recover individual files without requiring a full server restore. He concludes: “With NearPoint we’re expecting our backup windows to shrink while recovering a single lost or deleted file will take a couple of clicks and a matter of seconds.”
Lagans will also be able to set policies that automatically take documents that have not been touched for 30 days out of SharePoint and moved, into NearPoint. This document is then stubbed in SharePoint, but held in NearPoint, in a way that is seamlessly accessible to the user. Because NearPoint can apply this feature to both Exchange and SharePoint across both platforms, it drives further storage efficiencies and also helps minimise backup and recovery times, even though data is actually growing.
