London, UK Ð 6 August, 2008: Mimosa Systems, a leader in Live Content Archiving solutions, today announced the appointment of Belfast and Dublin-based Novosco, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and virtualisation infrastructure technology provider, to resell and install its award-winning Mimosa NearPoint content archiving platform to customers in Ireland.

Compliance requirements in the UK and Ireland have fueled Mimosa's leadership position to address content archiving, eDiscovery, compliance, and business continuity in a unified solution.

(Gartner, Inc. has placed Mimosa in the Visionaries Quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Active E-mail Archiving. ¹ )

Novosco can now provide its clients with a single solution that delivers email and content archiving, eDiscovery, content monitoring, regulatory compliance, business continuity, and storage optimisation in a single, easy-to-use solution. Mimosa NearPoint also complements NovoscoÕs existing portfolio of infrastructure optimisation, disaster recovery, security, and performance solutions.
In return for Novosco signing up as a partner, Mimosa will provide Novosco with marketing support and training, while also offering sales support for the companyÕs key customers.

John Lennon, sales director at Novosco, said: "We were one of the first companies to bring WAN optimisation and virtualisation to the Irish market. Now, with Mimosa's NearPoint solution on board, we will become the first to offer content archiving and eDiscovery, a market that is experiencing unprecedented growth in the region. With Mimosa NearPoint, we will maintain our clear advantage over our competitors by offering the best archiving solution to clients faced with growing email management and storage challenges."

Brian Bennett, managing director of Northern Europe at Mimosa Systems, said: "Novosco is recognised as a trusted market leader and, in addition to its extensive Microsoft Gold Certified Partner credentials, has a product portfolio that answers the needs of today's modern businesses. Email archiving represents a large and fast-growing opportunity for all our business partners, and Novosco, in just its first month, has generated record NearPoint revenues."
