GWAVA Retain for GroupWise product mentionned in Leading Industry Analyst Firm's Magic Quadrant for e-mail archiving.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC— June 17, 2008 — GWAVA, Novell's largest collaboration partner for GroupWise and Teaming, announced today they were mentioned in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for E-Mail Active Archiving 2008 report for its Retain for GroupWise product. The report publishes a "magic quadrant" each year that positions vendors by challengers, leaders, niche players and visionaries. 

According to the report, Vendors in this report have proved their products to be enterprise class. Gartner is, however, tracking many new vendors entering the market or extending their solutions to better support larger enterprises or new geographies. Most will enter with solutions that provide basic capture and search. Some are focused on the e-discovery part of the market, but provide basic message archiving. Gartner is watching these vendors and will include them when they meet the inclusion criteria. Meanwhile, Gartner continues to monitor and track vendors that focus primarily on e-mail capture solutions for the small or midsize business market, or that are just starting to appear in the enterprise.

 "We think GWAVA's strategy of slowly and carefully developing Retain for GroupWise before releasing it is paying off with the mention from Gartner," said Richard Bliss, VP, global marketing for GWAVA. "We believe Gartner recognizes that though Retain is fairly new in the GroupWise e-mail archiving market, it is still advanced and robust enough to be effective out of the gate. Our increasing customer base proves it."

GWAVA continues to focus and expand Retain with recent features and database support for MS SQL 2000 and 2005; Oracle 10 and 11, PostgreSQL 8.2, as well as support for EMC Centera.

The latest version also supports GWAVA Reload, making it easy to integrate the product into Reload and adding powerful features of Retain. It is also more flexible for leading database programs.

 "Companies already running their own database solutions can now easily add a powerful and focused e-mail archiving product with the latest version of Retain for GroupWise. It is a major step for GWAVA to offer customers these improved flexible and manageable features," said Bliss.
