The professional messaging solution vendor, AXIGEN (http://www.axigen.com ), and the vendor of the MailArchiva email archiving system, Stimulus Software (http://www.mailarchiva.com ), todayannounced  the closure of a partnership aimed at integrating email messaging and archiving functionalities. The two companies aim, through this strategic technology integration, to pro-actively address the issues arising for businesses of all sizes that work towards complying with IT Governance standards and concepts.

MailArchiva solution, the joint AXIGEN Mail Server, will provide all functionalities of a complete email messaging and archiving solution. It features a smart storage system preventing overhead and compliance with highly debated international standards such as the Sarbanes Oxley act (SOX), quick access to information based on advanced search criteria, reliability and security in both messaging and archiving activities, Gramm-Leach Bliley act (GLBA) and the Freedom of Information act (FOIA).

CEO Stimulus Software, developer of MailArchiva, Jamie Band, stated: "We at Stimulus Software are proud to associate ourselves with AXIGEN. The AXIGEN Mail Server is a natural fit with MailArchiva. Recent email archiving legislation has made it a necessity for companies to archive their emails for up to seven years. Our customers are now in a strong position to comply with these mandates and enjoy the benefits of using a highly sophisticated messaging platform in combination with a state-of-the-art email archiving system".

AXIGEN, with a carrier class technology and outstanding support, is becoming the messaging solution of choice for a growing number of service providers worldwide. The AXIGEN Mail Server, winner of the ServerWatch 2007 Product Excellence Award for the Communications Server category, currently runs on several Linux and BSD distributions, on Solaris, on PowerPC and SPARC architectures.
