Carbonite To Buy MailStore

(RTTNews) - Carbonite, Inc. (CARB) said Monday that it has agreed to buy MailStore, a Viersen, Germany-based provider of email archiving solutions for small and midsize businesses.

MailStore's flagship solution, MailStore Server, is used by more than 22,000 businesses, including public and educational institutions. MailStore Server creates 1:1 copies of all emails in a central email archive to ensure the long-term security and availability of data. Its search and indexing capabilities provide full-text search of emails and attachments, and the solution works with all major email systems, including cloud email such as Office 365 and Gmail, as well as Exchange, PST files, and all IMAP and POP3-compatible email servers. In 2014, MailStore released a Service Provider Edition that enables channel partners to run the software on their own infrastructure and adapt it to their clients' business requirements.

The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014.
