What does Sonian do?
Sonian’s cloud-powered archiving and eDiscovery service provides customers with a secure online repository for their email, instant messaging, and social media data. The Sonian Archive enables administrators and supervisory personnel to quickly and easily search, locate, and export data to support legal discovery and compliance requirements. The Sonian Archive can be deployed in minutes, includes unlimited storage, and requires no ongoing maintenance.
How are they different?
Sonian Archive is the first hosted email archive solution created with grid computing infrastructure technologies. Grid design means very high reliability with no single point of failure. Grid computing also means efficient use of computer hardware so that we can process more data with less hardware resources, allowing us to pass the costs savings to our customers. Only Sonian provides a 99.99% data retention SLA in a hosted environment.
Why could Sonian be BIG?
Every company and organization governed by compliance regulations is legally obligated to maintain an archive of their email, IM, and now social media, communications. With a seemingly endless need for an archiving solution, Sonian is poised to take the market by storm by offering one of the most functional archiving services, with faster search capabilities, and unlimited storage, for LESS than competitors, on-premise and hosted alike.
How they plan to make money:
Monthly subscription service based on a per user basis for both Email Archiving service and Social Media, IM, SMS Archiving service.
