Two more acquisitions today

The acquisitions in the messaging space continue:

Dell acquired MessageOne for $155 million, continuing Dell's acquisitions designed to make the company a leading provider of SaaS services.

TeraCloud acquired startup archiving provider Estorian.

These acquisitions point to the growing interest in archiving for a variety of applications, from storage management to legal discovery to regulatory compliance. While there continue to be those who don't believe in the value of archiving, consensus will be coalescing around the growing need to archive messaging and other content.
