Don't spend more than you need to for hardware. There is no need to buy years worth of storage right now, when storage costs are dropping dramatically. Reduce your operating costs and help to protect the environment with a Virtual Appliance.
Until the InBoxer Anti-Risk Appliance, if you wanted to buy an archiving system, you had some painful decisions to make. For example, how much storage do you actually need to archive all of those emails? Some companies want to keep seven years worth of email. Can you calculate how much storage you will need? Some questions that you may ask: How fast will your company grow? Will the average email size today remain the same size tomorrow?
With the InBoxer virtual appliance, you don't need to answer those questions today. You can buy less storage now and easily add storage later. As storage prices are dropping dramatically, waiting a year to decide could mean big savings. If the company grows quickly, it is fast and easy to migrate from one hardware system to another. The old hardware can be redeployed. You can even adopt storage virtualization for the ultimate in flexibility.
The InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance gives you freedom and flexibility at lower cost. Yet, it includes all of the software features and capabilities found in our hardware appliance.
How Virtualization Works
If you have already virtualized your data center using VMware server or higher, the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance is ready to run. InBoxer will ship a DVD containing the software and will advise you as to the needed configuration.
If you do not intend to virtualize, you can still take advantage of the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance. Purchase a recent model Linux or Windows personal computer directly from your favorite vendor. Add as much storage as you desire. Run a copy of VMware server or Microsoft Virtual PC on the computer. Configure your system and install the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance. If your needs change.
