Mimecast®, an enterprise email management company offering SaaS-based email security, continuity, policy control and archiving, today announced that the company has achieved an 80% year-over-year growth rate, as noted by the world¹s leading information technology research and advisory company, Gartner Inc.,
in its latest report titled ³Market Trends: E-Mail Archiving Strong Growth Continues,² published October 6, 2010. The report examines performance between 2008 and 2009 and shows that growth in email archiving slowed from 25.7% in 2008 to 13.2% in 2009. At 80%, Mimecast¹s growth far outpaces that of its nearest competitors in North America, including Smarsh (36.3%), Proofpoint (33.3%) and Global Relay (25%).
This finding follows Gartner¹s recent report, ³Market Trends: Archiving Software Experiences Strong Growth as Customers Archive More Than Just E-Mail,² published September 27, 2010 which found that archiving is the fastest-growing segment of storage management software, projected to grow 22.2% through 2014. The report also found that email archiving, the largest archiving revenue segment, will be driven by compliance and e-discovery business needs and is forecasted to be the second-fastest-growing subsegment, with a 23.0% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Further, the report found that cloud-based archiving solutions are gaining traction and account for 25.3% of the overall archiving software market revenue. These forecasts represent a significant opportunity for Mimecast¹s continued growth.
