Over the last couple of decades numerous platforms and support services have been bolted on to the fundamental server environment. These have been added in a fairly piecemeal manner often in response to changing business needs and regulatory compliance.

One of the most important ones was email archiving which really began in earnest just before the turn of the century. The initial driver had been to ease storage problems but it was soon realized that it was essential in order to keep a record of corporate information and IP and to provide disaster recovery. Today there is a regulatory need to comply with e-discovery requests.

While traditionally email archiving was maintained on-premise, in parallel with the increasing requirements for email archiving, cloud computing was emergent, and today it is essentially ubiquitous touching just about every aspect of commercial endeavor. Some have even heralded cloud computing as marking the emergence of a new age of computing.

However, in many ways cloud computing is a throwback to the first computing age of the mainframe and dumb terminals. For most users of computers, the mainframe was an abstract concept; a hugely expensive machine often located off-site or in an air-conditioned enclave and waited on by white coated technicians.  Today the cloud is similarly abstract though somewhat more distributed in that it can rarely be pinpointed to any single specific location.

Today that old model of an email archive retained on-premises is giving way rapidly to a cloud-based interactive archive which is far more than simply storing the precious email data and information off-premises. Of course it does that too, but it also does very much more.

Mimecast have developed the concept of the Interactive Archive as a novel way of considering archived data. While this includes a new way of looking at the functionality of the old on-premises archives, it also includes components which are entirely new. For instance, end user experience should enhance productivity and provide access from fixed and mobile devices along with unification of all data sources and synchronization with internet based services.

The Interactive Archive provides businesses with the necessary regulatory email compliance while improving the productivity of end users, a double all round winner.

It has been certified by TCO, an organisation that looks at devices and considers how economical, socially aware and environmentally friendly they are. Indeed such are the credentials for the award that it’s the first handset to receive it.

It’s good news for those browsing the latest 4g pay monthly deals that they can make a purchase and know that the phone in their hand is fully recyclable and totally free from mercury, nickel and other harmful materials.

There are plenty of other good reasons why Samsung’s flagship smartphone might be worth considering when getting a new device. Firstly it offers an impressive 13-megapixel camera, so your day to day snaps are sure to be taken to a new level of clarity.

However, if you’re looking for an option that is a little less price wise then why not consider picking up a Samsung Galaxy S3? With superfast 4G from EE, this device is a fantastic way to watch TV and movies while you’re on the move. It also has an eight-megapixel camera, which matches that offered by the iPhone. Avoiding blurry images should be simple enough too as it offers auto-focus and face and smile detection.

You can of course customize the phone in a number of ways too as you’ll have access to the Google Play store, where there are thousands of downloadable applications to make your life easier or simply keep you entertained when you get a spare moment.

The phone has 16 GB internal memory so you should find there is plenty of room to get you started with. Should you get to the point where you require a little extra space then you needn’t panic either as a microSD card of up to 64 GB can be used.

When it comes to using the phone while you’re out and about, 396 hours of standby time when using 4G and 511 for 3G should ensure that you can go a while without the need to use your charger. So why not take a closer peek for yourself at the model, as well as the range of other 4G deals?
