Mimecast has written a cheque for the London-based Simply Migrate, which specialises in archived data migration technology.
Mimecast stated that the cost and complexity of legacy data migration is a major issue for large organisations in moving to its cloud-based archiving solutions.
It claimed that this acquisition will offer customers a faster and more cost-effective route to its cloud.
Mimecast CEO Peter Bauer said that legacy archiving systems are outdated and unable to handle the growth and ever-changing demands of a modern enterprise.
“Many organisations struggle with the ballooning email storage volumes alongside other unstructured data types, coupled with the cost and management burdens of storing it on-premise. The technology Simply Migrate offers is engineered to provide end-to-end migration into the Mimecast Cloud Archive, helping to cut costs and operational complexity while achieving a superior result with more flexible access to data, case management, supervision and more”, he said.
