Bayshore Road Palo Alto, CA 94303 Tel: +1 650 494 2600 www.atempo.com Messaging News Resource Guide Archiving and Backup Tools A s email volumes continue to grow, organizations are struggling to keep order. To manage the constant stream, email archiving is becoming vital to all organizations, not just to certain vertical markets, as was true in the past. Not only is email the corporate consciousness, it is, in these times, the most stable historical reference, as employees continue the trend of moving from company to company, rather than remain with a single employer. As such, email needs to be retained in a way that makes it easily accessed and searched. Archiving Market to Grow The new Radicati Group report, E-mail Archiving Market, 2009-2013, estimates "the average corporate email user sends and receives a total of 167 messages per day. This number is expected to increase to 219 messages by 2013. In storage terms, this translates into about 20 MB of data per user per day in 2009. This figure is expected to rise to about 31 MB per user, per day in 2013." The increasing volume of email is expected to keep fueling the growth of the archiving market, but perhaps not to the speed that was originally forecasted, due to overall economic conditions. The Radicati report suggests that organizations that already have a solution, will opt to extend the life of the solution, instead of upgrading and predicts the growth of the market over the next two years will come "from the sale of new archiving solutions, rather than upgrades." Radicati Group expects the archiving market to expand from slightly over $2 billion USD by the end of 2009 to over $5.1 billion by 2013. SJ/TMP
