City of Chula Vista Reduces Exchange Storage Requirements with Mimosa Systems' Live Content Archiving Solution

Mimosa Systems announces that the City of Chula Vista, Calif., one of the nation's fastest growing cities, has deployed the next-generation Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange Server to assure the retention, protection and recovery of its vital email data.

The City of Chula Vista, with a population approaching 225,000, is San Diego County's second largest city. The majority of the city's business applications require email and as such Microsoft Exchange has become a vital part of Chula Vista's communications infrastructure.

With an increasing volume of email, Chula Vista city employees and elected officials were experiencing significant email performance degradation as users frequently sent large documents and PowerPoint presentation files. And, even though the city's IT organization had implemented a three month email retention policy to conserve server storage resources, users commonly saved all their historical emails in local .PST files which started to experience corruption and monopolized costly desktop storage space.

Key Mimosa NearPoint features that were particularly important to the City of Chula Vista include:
- Automated Exchange Storage Management: Mimosa NearPoint has reduced the city's storage requirements by moving attachments, based on policies of age and size, to the NearPoint server. The NearPoint Mailbox Extension feature allows Chula Vista's IT staff to define policies that stub attachments in Exchange while still giving users seamless access to the email.
- Simple "One-Click" Recovery: Mimosa NearPoint gives the City of Chula Vista continuous protection of all its Exchange information. NearPoint preserves all Exchange information disk and allows users to restore individual messages themselves via Outlook and allows Admins to restore complete mailboxes and databases with simple "one-click" operations.
