Bull, Housser & Tupper LLP Meets Email Growth Challenges With Mimosa NearPoint; Mimosa NearPoint Selected by Law Firm to Manage Email Information.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Mimosa Systems(TM), Inc., a leader in unified information management solutions, today announced that Bull, Housser & Tupper LLP (BHT, www.bht.com), a Canadian legal firm of 95 lawyers established in 1890 handling all aspects of corporate law in Vancouver, British Columbia and the Pacific Rim, has selected Mimosa NearPoint(TM) for Microsoft(R) Exchange Server as its unified information email management solution. Key to the decision was NearPoint's ability to handle multiple Exchange challenges in a single solution, including email archiving, storage management, and recovery, with simple, fast installation and deployment.

Over the past six months, Bull, Housser & Tupper has experienced a dramatic rise in storage consumption on their Exchange Server due to increased email traffic as well as large message attachments. This has resulted in significant performance degradation on the email server as well as recovery time risks in the event of failures.

"Partners are demanding even greater access to email data over a history of time, causing Exchange performance to suffer. Enabling mailbox quotas is simply not an option for us. Mimosa NearPoint offered the best software solution to solve multiple critical issues, from reducing storage on Exchange, to allowing seamless user access to archived data, all while improving Exchange performance," explained Dave Ewanchuk, Manager, Information Services, Bull, Housser & Tupper.

Other key advantages NearPoint delivered over the competition for BHT included:

--Agent-less Solution: NearPoint does not require agents on either the Exchange Server or user desktops, providing BHT with double benefits: first, it speeds deployment and installation, and secondly it has no impact on Exchange Server performance.

--Advanced Archiving Architecture: With up to 75 percent of BHT's Exchange storage devoted to attachments, NearPoint's mailbox extension technology immediately reduced storage and improved Exchange performance.

--Self-Service Search of Archived Data: NearPoint added great value by allowing seamless self-service user access to archived data, along with auditor search across multiple mailboxes. This will help individual users locate individual "lost" messages, while streamlining searches for legal support processes.

--Full Data Capture - Without Journaling: NearPoint's powerful continuous application shadowing process captures all Exchange data with no impact on the production Exchange server.

--Fast, Complete Recovery with Minimal Data Loss: BHT will use NearPoint to speed recovery from any type of Exchange data loss, improving time of recovery from three days to literally a two-click, immediate restore of individual mailboxes or even full database recovery, all with virtually no data lost.

"NearPoint immediately rose to the top of our list when Mimosa provided us with a trial evaluation, a process no competitor could match. Mimosa NearPoint is one of the best software solutions I've evaluated over the last 30 years," concluded Ewanchuk.
