Citing our domain expertise in the field, Tarmin was prominently featured in a story on email archiving in the most recent issue of Storage UK Magazine. We presented a cogent case for the innate value that an object-based approach to email archiving can deliver. I am pleased to note that our write-up was placed first in the overall article, suggesting the editors of Storage Magazine found it to be the most exciting of the contributions. Tarmin has a very robust email archiving solution as part of its comprehensive GridBank Data Management Platform. As we wrote, “Object Archiving technology transparently combines object storage with email applications, delivering massive scalability while reducing cost.” This object aware approach makes Tarmin’s approach very attractive for IT Departments and is helping to drive robust interest for Tarmin’s innovative offerings.

Technologies that capture, store, search, share and analyze data are struggling to keep pace with surging data growth brought on by new applications and data sources. This new era of big data is forcing organizations to reassess how they store data to control cost, reduce risk and seek to understand information to gain competitive advantage. Tarmin recently offered a series of insightful tips to help organizations think about how they must adapt to take advantage of this new IT paradigm and not risk being left at a marked disadvantage, going forward. The news release garnered pickup by almost 300 news outlets in the USA and abroad, powerfully demonstrating that there is substantial concern and interest within the technology community and beyond as to how to cope with the massive increase of data that is already being experienced and the increasing pace of growth projected into the future. Innovative data management technologies and tools, notably including Tarmin’s award winning GridBank platform, are at the forefront of this paradigm shift and are well positioned to capture substantial market share and enjoy sustained growth.
