Sonian is a new hosted email archiving service. It's aimed at SMEs. Key design aspects are:
- Works with lots of internal email systems.
- Inexpensive -- $3/mailbox/month.
- No storage charges. This is important. Most other hosted services charge for storage, and it is a big unknown element -- the costs can easily get out of hand.
- User-friendly interface, so IT doesn't have to get involved with search requests.
There's a need for a hosted service aimed at SMEs. The design goals look right for this market.
