Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/17/2007 -- NorthSeas AMT (NorthSeas), pioneer of the e-mail archiving appliance, today announced that firmware Version 3.0 (V3) is now available for its new NorthSeas Guard E/N product line. The two most noteworthy V3 features are the option to archive to an IP SAN, and messaging functionality that offers users access to e-mail and mail services, even when their mail-server is unavailable. iSCSI support means that NorthSeas customers can avoid much of the guess work of email storage planning by using an inherently scalable IP SAN as a message repository. Most IP SAN products offer an ability to easily adjust storage to suit the current demand.

"Customers tell us every day that e-mail storage demand is difficult, often impossible, to predict", says Stephen P. Spence, President and CEO of NorthSeas. "By supporting IP SAN technology, our new customers need only invest in the storage they need today and just add capacity as they need it later."

Stand-in Mail Services©, a unique offering by NorthSeas, gives users the ability to directly reply to and forward archived messages and compose new messages, capabilities that are particularly useful when, for whatever reason, the mail-server is inaccessible. Because the NorthSeas Archive contains all messages, users have access to the most recent messages as well as older ones.

Other new functionality includes:
• Search Performance Improvements – Real-time indexing and search optimization for simple header searches and more advanced message-body full-text searches
• LDAP– Users are authenticated using the same credentials they use on other systems
• NFS Support – For those who prefer the Unix flavour of network storage
• Alias Support – A single search looks across alias addresses as well as the user's primary e-mail mailbox
• Designated Users – A user can assign archive access to another individual e.g. Executive Assistant
• International Language Support – User interface now available in English, French, and Dutch
• Administrative Enhancements: New administrative features include SSL Login security, outbound SMTP routing, updated Logging and Reporting, optimized directory structure and more …

An on-line and interactive demonstration of NorthSeas' latest functionality is available on the company's website at http://www.northseasamt.com/demo_reg.htm.

Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/13/2006 -- NorthSeas AMT (NorthSeas), a pioneer in e-mail archiving appliances, today launched its upgraded product line with faster processing, more memory, and additional onboard index storage. Along with a new hardware platform, the company also announced that the entire NorthSeas product family will now use the company's original product moniker, "NorthSeas Guard E/N" (pronounced "guardian"), the name for which NorthSeas products are best known.

Each NorthSeas Guard E/N model is differentiated by the number of users licensed to use it and the capacity of message-records on its onboard index. The basic NorthSeas Guard E/N licenses up to 500 users and has an 80 million message index capacity. The NorthSeas Guard E/N Pro supports up to 1,000 users and 300 million messages while the NorthSeas Guard E/N Enterprise supports 2,500 users and 400 million messages. Organizations with more than 2,500 users can deploy multiple units linked together, using NorthSeas' unique database synchronization feature.

Each of the NorthSeas appliances is now based on a common robust 1U appliance chassis. The NorthSeas Guard E/N replaces the table-top appliance of the same name, while the Pro and the Enterprise models replace the two configurations of the company's earlier 1U appliance called the NorthSeas Gal E/N. Organizations with less than 100 users can still purchase the NorthSeas Small Business Guard E/N, an e-mail archiving appliance based on the company's original table-top hardware platform.

"Our new hardware adds power and scalability to the NorthSeas e-mail archiving product line-up, while our brand is enhanced by more streamlined name recognition," says Stephen Spence, CEO and President of NorthSeas. "Both of these are essential as we strive with the help of our loyal channel partners to becoming the industry de facto standard."

NorthSeas will soon be releasing its latest firmware. In addition to faster searching performance, Version 3.0 will also offer many new features including LDAP and iSCSI support, as well as providing users with the convenience of e-mail access and basic mail-server functionality (e.g., compose, reply-to and forward) even while the corporate mail-server is unavailable.

Instant E-mail Archiving for Hardware Vendors and System Integrators

Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/30/2006 -- NorthSeas AMT (NorthSeas) a pioneer in e-mail archiving appliances, today announced that server and storage vendors can now easily add NorthSeas' e-mail archiving capabilities to their product offerings with one of its two new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) solutions.

"Now, e-mail storage can easily be added to the infrastructure where it belongs," says Stephen Spence, President and CEO of NorthSeas. "Hardware vendors now have a fighting chance for a share of the billion dollar emerging market for vendor-neutral e-mail archiving."

Both NorthSeas OEM products ship pre-loaded with NorthSeas innovative e-mail archiving application:

nSEAC (NorthSeas E-mail Archiving Card):

A CPU card which when inserted in a standard PCI slot adds e-mail archiving functionality to the host system and runs as an independent system within the same chassis.

nFLASH (NorthSeas application on DOM or CompactFlash):

The NorthSeas application pre-loaded on an IDE Disk-on-Memory (DOM) or Compact Flash so that when installed in a host server or appliance, automatically converts it into an e-mail archiving system.

NorthSeas OEM products provide system manufacturers and solutions integrators the opportunity to turn their systems into turnkey e-mail storage solutions while avoiding the cost and complexity of third-party software or lengthy product development. Vendors can take advantage of NorthSeas' extensive investment in this area.

"Developing vendor-neutral message archiving products properly demands considerable time and painstaking attention to detail," says Stephen Spence, President and CEO of NorthSeas. "With these new products, vendors can instantly add e-mail archiving to their products without the hassles of integrating third-party software."

The NorthSeas model of e-mail storage, renowned for its innovative and simplified approach, provides potentially limitless e-mail storage without locking the customer to one messaging vendor's architecture. Users have access any of their archived messages in just seconds, even those that are many years old, while keeping storage on the mail server to a minimum.
