Google Apps Vault brings better integrated email archiving to Google Apps

As a Google Apps Postini Authorized Reseller we've handled numerous implementations of Postini email archiving and message security.  While Postini has great technology its user interface was ages behind the simplicity of Google Apps.  We're definitely excited about the release of Google Vault which is so much better integrated into the core Google Apps product.

Google Apps Vault eliminates all sorts of administrative headaches for Google Apps and Postini customers such as managing duplicate user lists, email aliases, and email distribution groups across the 2 systems.

Currently Google Vault is only available to new Google Apps customers but we expect Google to allow the migration of existing customers from Postini to Google Apps Vault soon.

By the way, Google Postini is still the best cloud spam and virus filter for Microsoft Exchange or other emails servers on the market.  It will continue to be supported and enhanced for the long term as there is a huge install base of existing users.  Since ~90% of all email is spam, Google Postini removes this heavy load from your internet data lines and on-premise Exchange server.  When we switch customers from an on-premise firewall based spam filter to Postini or Google Apps they are often shocked by the dramatic drop in load on their internet data lines.

June 2010: 88% of all email is spam

According to Symantec, in the month of June 2010 88% of all email was spam.

So in other words 88% of the traffic handled by your on-premise email server is unwanted.  Why pay for the wasted bandwidth or manage hardware and software for something that is easily managed externally for a very reasonable cost?

The two major players in hosted spam management and email archival are Symantec MessageLabs and Google Postini.

Our recommendation is Google Postini.  It protects over 18 million users, is straightforward to configure, can be automatically synchronized to your Microsoft Exchange/Active Directory (or LDAP), and costs less.
