Moreover, new regulations in the financial industry, for example, are placing demands on companies to have an email system that does have the ability to scale into the millions of messages, says Nadia Mansour, VP of worldwide channels and alliances at Mirapoint. "Many customers don't have a way to do that reliably today," she says.
Smith adds that the HP/Mirapoint SPECmail test is part of a larger effort HP has launched to help customers archive and protect data. Earlier this week, HP also announced that it would resell Legato Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: LGTO) EmailXtender message archiving software (see HP to Resell Legato Email Archiver).
The test was the first time the SPECmail benchmark was conducted using SAN storage, the companies claim. The storage array used on the test, HP's XP128, is actually a rebranded version of the Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Lightning 9970V.
