MessageSolution Awards Global Partners for Outstanding Global Support and Strategic Market Growth

Milpitas, California, January 12, 2010 – MessageSolution, Inc., the global technology leader in email, file system, and SharePoint archiving solutions for electronic discovery, litigation support, compliance, and storage management, today announces the winners of the MessageSolution Global Partner Awards. These awards are presented to the most active, engaged, and impressive partners and account executives in MessageSolution’s Global Partners Network during 2009.

“2009 has been a year of over 300% growth in key international markets for MessageSolution, and much of this success is due to our global partners’ commitment to engaging new accounts and improving support for MessageSolution’s enterprise archiving solutions,” said MessageSolution’s Vice President of Marketing Josh Liang. “It is our pleasure at MessageSolution to acknowledge the partners that have most contributed to MessageSolution’s increased market penetration around the world.”

MessageSolution’s next generation archiving technology and architecture are specifically designed for today’s busy IT administrators. MessageSolution supports all email servers for both on-site and SaaS implementations, holds the industry's single-server scalability record of archiving more than 15,000 users, and delivered the first 64-bit archiving solution in the market. MessageSolution requires no on-site engineer for global level multiple location product deployments and on-going maintenance. This improved deployment and maintenance differentiates MessageSolution from first generation archiving solutions in the market that require on-site technical engineers to install and maintain.

This year’s award winners were selected from among a collection of outstanding MessageSolution partners and account managers across the world, such as Technology Transfer & Training SA (3T) from Switzerland, iStorage from South Africa, Repton from the U.K., Digital China Ltd from China, Business Data Protection and Recovery Limited (BDPR) from Nigeria, Active Linux from the U.K., PineApp Ltd from Israel, and Pacific Professional Network from Hong Kong. MessageSolution’s Global Partner Network has contributed to establishing MessageSolution’s prestigious international customers, such as Zenith Bank, one of the largest banks in Nigeria, Bonhams in the U.K., the third largest auction house in the world, and Hong Kong University, one of the largest universities in Southeast Asia.

365 iTechnology in the United Kingdom is awarded MessageSolution’s Most Engaged Partner of the Year Award for 2009, for which 365 iTechnology will receive allocated MessageSolution Marketing Development Funds for participating in archiving and storage-related tradeshow events sponsored by MessageSolution in the U.K. 365 iTechnology delivers enterprise class IT services and solutions that enhance operating effectiveness, raise productivity, and increase return on investment.

“We are delighted to receive MessageSolution’s Most Engaged Partner of the Year Award and it’s great to see that our efforts are appreciated and recognized by MessageSolution,” said Garry Growns, director at 365 iTechnology. “We look forward to working with MessageSolution at the appropriate archiving events and on a broad customer base in 2010.”

Larry Pelling, an Account Executive at 365 iTechnology, was also selected as the winner of MessageSolution Most Active Sales Executive of the Year Award for 2009. “I know this will spur the team on to achieve even more success in 2010,” said Mr. Pelling.

What Differentiates MessageSolution Products
Customers continually emphasize MessageSolution products' excellent overall performance, support of all major email servers, and ease of use. MessageSolution provides sub-second data retrieval, an intuitive interface, and ease of deployment and maintenance. MessageSolution's intelligent back-end design significantly reduces installation requirements, backup time, and the need for technical support.

MessageSolution Enterprise Email Archive™ deftly manages petabytes of data daily, a powerful enterprise archiving solution. Electronic discovery and litigation support are empowered by the archive’s built-in search engine, which searches through millions of emails within seconds across global locations and data centers. Users can access their archive through their email client, browser, or BlackBerry.

In the first quarter of 2009, MessageSolution became the first archiving vendor in the market to deliver a true 64-bit application that runs on a 64-bit OS machine.

MessageSolution delivers the industry’s highest enterprise-level scalability and holds the industry record of archiving 15,000 users on one single MessageSolution archive server. Competitive vendors archive on average 3,000-5,000 users on a single archive server, much less than MessageSolution archiving system’s scalability and flexibility. A high in-process compression rate combined with single instance message and attachment archiving slows archive storage growth.

Enterprise Email Archive™ further reduces organizations' storage costs by using only 25-30% of the original mail server storage space for live content archiving. MessageSolution's products support all Latin-based languages, as well as all character-based languages, such as Japanese and Chinese.
