Accellion promises to cut e-mail storage needs
E-mail attachment-offload and management specialist Accellion Inc. has released OneCopy, attachment management software that it claims can reduce mailbox storage utilization by 80%.
According to the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company, the product consolidates e-mail attachments from the messaging server and retains a single copy without client software, immediately reducing the load demand posed by attachments on e-mail servers and increasing available storage. OneCopy is designed to integrate with file servers, network drives, network area storage or storage area networks.
Accellion OneCopy is immediately available for IBM Lotus Domino 5.X and 6.X by annual subscription. A 50-user license is priced at $995, with additional 50 user incremental package for $495.

A 'one step' migration for Lotus apps
Quality On-Line, a San Diego-based enterprise application development firm, has launched a new initiative to help companies migrate from what it calls "proprietary Lotus Notes mechanisms."
The vendor has constructed an application architecture based on J2EE that, according to the company, enables enterprises to replace their Notes and Domino applications while avoiding "a multi-step, multi-year initiative, such as IBM Workplace." Other features of the platform include a structured programming environment to improve consistency between different applications, an integrated workflow and process control engine, LDAP and Active Directory support and reusable code. The vendor says
companies such as Royal Dutch Telecom and Syngenta have already migrated their Lotus Notes applications to the Quality On-Line architecture.
