About Mimecast
Software + Services (SaaS)
Software + Services vs. SaaS LAN based software is not dead
A hybrid strategy probably makes sense
End user / IT manager Is more consistent with existing Microsoft investment
Solution Provider (reseller) Extends their Microsoft LOB nicely
Creates “services drag” revenue opportunity

The Corporate email problem
Despite best efforts
75% likelihood of unplanned email downtime in a given year 14% likelihood of planned downtime in a year Average downtime is 32.1 hours 29% between 4 and 24 hours 43% lasted > 24 hours
Reasons Server Hardware failure – 35% (18.1 hours) Connectivity loss – 19% (27.4 hours) Database corruption – 16% (9 hours) SAN corruption – 16% (25.5 hours) Natural disaster – 14% (60.8 hours) Theft - 2% (48 hours)
LAN versus MSP versus MimecastLAN MSP/ISP MimecastPros Pros Pros• Control • Resilient infrastructure • Software+SaaS alternative
• Proactive management • No capital outlay • Real-time control
• Responsive management • No ongoing maintenance • Highly resilient utility grid
• Off-site • Off-site, geographical diversity
• Fast to deploy • Best of both LAN & MSP/ISP
Cons Cons Cons• Single POF • Little or no control • Less customization options
• Clustering still fails • Aggregation of solutions • Bandwidth
• 1st Line of Defense • Primarily security focused
• Capital expenditure • Still requires on-premise
• Management overhead • Clustering still fails
• Complexity • Often legacy technology
• Time to deploy • ISP lock-in
Market shifts to SaaS
By 2011, 25 % of new business software will be delivered via SaaS.
Software as a Service will be the business model of choice by 2008
Most organizations now recognize that e-mail is as critical to the well
being of the firm as the phone and consequently want to provide full
redundancy, as they would with any other mission-critical system. This
has created a need for off-site redundancy in the case of a catastrophic
failure.

CIA Triad
Confidentiality of email must be ensured
Integrity of email must be ensured
Availability of archive must be maintained
All permutations of the email must be
archived
Strong chains-of-custody required
Must provide quick and easy discovery
Confidentiality
Integrity Availability
Retention Reality
• Retention is just one link in the email chain– Firewall; Denial of Service prevention; anti-spam; anti-
virus; anti-phishing; email routing; Intrusion Prevention; disclaimer management; continuity; email marketing…
• Links not integrated- Weak chains-of-custody: Integrity- Each component may alter or generate messages: Integrity- Independent logs: Confidentiality - Total resilience difficult: Availability
• Maintaining long term archive storage is expensive- Migrations risk to integrity and decrease availability
Data leak prevention & content filtering Detect inappropriate content
Keep internal content internal
Weighted dictionaries
Intelligent identifiers
- Credit card numbers
- National Insurance numbers
Prevention of leakage of documents from file shares
