NaviSite, a premier provider of enterprise-class hosting, managed application, managed messaging and managed cloud services, has announced that it has entered into a reseller partnership with Mimecast. Mimecast, to the uninitiated, is leading supplier of cloud-based e-mail security, continuity, policy control and archiving.

This partnership allows Navisite to sell Mimecast’s suite of Unified Email Management (UEM) software as part of its Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus managed email messaging services in the cloud.

“A growing number of organizations are evaluating a move to cloud-based email, and are weighing the benefits they can derive, such as lower costs and ease of management with their concerns about security and legal compliance for this mission critical application,” said Quoc Hoang, Market Analyst at The Radicati Group, Inc. “Cloud email providers that can offer reliable, cost-effective on-demand email access that ensures security, service continuity and the ability to meet legal discovery requirements with leading-edge capabilities such as archiving, eDiscovery and policy management have the right set of tools to address and overcome these concerns and optimize email performance in the cloud.”
