EMC Express Solution for E-Mail from
EMC Corporation enables hundreds to thousands
of e-mail users in an organization consolidate and manage bulks
of e-mail on a single networked storage system. By expanding mailbox
limits with Express Solution for E-mail’s automated policy
management software, total cost of ownership of Microsoft Exchange
Server storage for small- and medium-sized businesses can be reduced
up to 30%, claims EMC.
