Postini is announcing today Personal Archive, a new service that extends Archive Manager to include storing and retrieving personal messages for selected users.
Archive Manager is an outsourced archiving solution targeting legal and compliance requirement for e-mail and IM messages that the company announced last December.
Personal Archive should be of interest to end users that can maintain a virtually unlimited number of messages on remote repositories hosted by Postini.
The new service should be appreciated also by administrators that can easily keep internal e-mail databases to a manageable size without significantly hampering their users.
According to Postini, archived e-mail messages can be accessed from a browser client and restored locally when necessary. Customers subscribing to Postini Perimeter Manager for IM can obtain similar functionality for their instant messages.
The Personal Archive service is available immediately. Adding Personal Archive should increase the cost of the Postini service, ranging between $90 and $300 per user/year, by about 20 percent.
