Exclaimer Announces Potent New Email Storage Compression Utility - Store Compressor Maximizes Mailbox Storage Space on Microsoft Exchange Server


FARNBOROUGH, England, June 26 /PRNewswire/ --     Exclaimer, which markets a suite of email utilities that brings unique
functionality to Microsoft Exchange environments, today announced the 
general availability of Exclaimer Store Compressor, a software tool that
minimizes the size of the Exchange mail store by compressing attachments
and emails.

With Store Compressor, the limited size of both Exchange and SBS Server
Exchange Stores can be mitigated. Storage size is maximized as individual
emails are compressed, freeing valuable mailbox space.

The Exclaimer Store Compressor's retention policy system enables
customization of how and at what intervals Outlook items, such as emails,
attachments, appointments or tasks, are manipulated, based on internal IT
preferences. This enforces strict adherence to company-wide policies
regarding retention of email messages. Because the program uses the same
application programming interface as Microsoft Outlook, scalability and
security are assured.

Messages are minimized by removing Internet headers and any HTML
formatting. Attachments are compressed into (.zip) files, which are, on
average, reduced by 25%. In addition, Store Compressor continuously monitors
the compression process, checking the size of files before and after
compression to ensure only attachments that will reduce in size are
compressed. Attachments that are already compressed, such as .zip and .mp3
files, will be ignored.

As with Exclaimer's other software tools, Store Compressor is installed
at the server level and runs in the background; there is no perceptible
change to the Outlook user interface.

"Exclaimer Store Compressor is a logical extension of our existing suite
of mail utilities and offers a perfect solution to the headaches of IT
administrators everywhere," said Andrew Millington, Exclaimer CEO. "It
automatically manages messages at the server level, without interrupting the
user experience and frees up time for the IT department to focus on more
high-value tasks."

When it is nearing full capacity, the Exchange Store can cause errors and
disruptions on the server. A common situation happens when users neglect to
empty their deleted items and junk email folders, which then take up
inordinate amounts of space in the store. By automating the deletion of these
items at regular intervals, storage space is regained and backup is
expedited, ensuring optimal performance of IT infrastructure.
